Answer:
a.
b. = 40 km/ million years
Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
According to the question, Data provided in the question
Average speed = 4.0 cm / per year
Distance move in 1 second at this speed
Based on the above information
a. For distance move in 1 second is
As we know that
b. For speed per kilometer per million years is
= 40 km/ million years
Answer:
K.E₂ = mg(h - 2R)
Explanation:
The diagram of the car at the top of the loop is given below. Considering the initial position of the car and the final position as the top of the loop. We apply law of conservation of energy:
K.E₁ + P.E₁ = K.E₂ + P.E₂
where,
K.E₁ = Initial Kinetic Energy = (1/2)mv² = (1/2)m(0 m/s)² = 0 (car initially at rest)
P.E₁ = Initial Potential Energy = mgh
K.E₂ = Final Kinetic Energy at the top of the loop = ?
P.E₂ = Final Potential Energy = mg(2R) (since, the height at top of loop is 2R)
Therefore,
0 + mgh = K.E₂ + mg(2R)
<u>K.E₂ = mg(h - 2R)</u>
