An electric motor moves a chain that pulls the roller coaster car 180 meters to the top of the first hill. The chain exerts a fo

rce of 2,524 newtons on the car. How much kinetic energy does the car gain from the work done on it? Use the formula Change in KE = F × d.

Answer:

Explanation:

The work done on an object is equal to its change in kinetic energy: Change in KE = F × d.

Plug the values for F and d into the formula and solve:

Change in KE = 2,524 × 180

= 454,320 joules

The roller coaster gains 454,320 joules of energy from the work done on it by the chain.

The energy added here is potential energy since it is moving upward 180 meters in a gravitational field.  This is then turned into KE when it rolls down.  2524N x 180m = 454,320J

Describe the water cycle process starting from an afternoon thunderstorm. There are many different variations that could happen.
spin [16.1K]

Explanation:

The water cycle basically involves five steps:

  • evaporation and transpiration ⇄
  • condensation, ⇄
  • precipitation, ⇄
  • runoff, ⇄
  • infiltration ⇄

So when a <u>thunderstorm </u>occurs it <em>helps in completing the precipitation process </em>by enabling the release of water vapor stored up in the atmosphere to fall on the ground as rain.

After this, the water <em>runoffs </em><em>to the surface of the ground, on plants, into rocks, rivers, and lakes.</em>

Next, the <em>Infiltration process</em> enables the water on the ground surface to enter the soil some of which becomes groundwater.

The cycle begins again as the<em> </em><em>evaporation and transpiration</em> <em>process </em>begins, where the groundwater as a result of heat from the sun is taken back into the atmosphere, while water in plants by means of transpiration goes back <em>into the atmosphere</em>.

It then <em>condenses </em>and falls back as precipitation again.

What is the distance that a car travels if it was brought to stop in 5 seconds and if it was traveling at 110 Km/h
Triss [41]

Answer:

Suppose that the acceleration is a constant, a.

a(t) = a.

To write the velocity equation, we must integrate over time, and the constant of integration will be equal to the initial velocity, in this case is 110km/h.

v(t) = a*t + 110km/h

And we know that at t = 5s, the car was brought to stop, so the velocity must be zero.

v(5s) = 0 = a*5s + 110km/h.

a = (110km/h)*(1/5s)

now we have that:

1 hour = 3600 seconds.

1km = 1000m

then:

110km/h = (110*1000/3600)m/s = 30.56 m/s

Then we have:

a = (-30.55 m/s)/5s = -6.11 m/s^2

Now the velocity equation is:

v(t) = -6.11m/s^2*t + 30.56m/s

To write the positon equation we must integrate over time again, we can get:

p(t) = (1/2)*(-6.11m/s^2)*t^2 + (30.56m/s)*t + p0

Where p0 is the initial position, here i will assume that is zero, because it does no really mater.

The total displacement of the car will be equal to p(5s)

p(5s) = (1/2)*(-6.11m/s^2)*(5s)^2 + (30.56m/s)*(5s) = 76.425 meters.
