Answer:

size of popcorn seed may meet the scaled earth size of x = 0.07312 in.  

Explanation:

Given:-

- The diameter of actual sun, Ds = 1.3927 * 10^6 km

- The diameter of model sun ball, ds = 8 in

- The diameter of the actual earth, De = 12,742 km

Find:-

How large would be the earth model

Solution:-

- We can use the actual diameters of the earth and sun to develop the ratio of earth diameter to that of sun. The direct ratio can be used to model the diameter of earth for the scale model

                                          Sun                   Earth

                     Actual :     1392700 km     12,742 km

                      Scale :           8 in                    x

- Use direct relations and solve for x:

                               x = (8 in)*(12,742 km ) / ( 1392700 km )

                              x = 0.07312 in.

- From the given options apple, grapefruit and marble diameters are larger than 1 inch. So only the size of popcorn seed may meet the scaled earth size of x = 0.07312 in.

The Outlaw Run roller coaster in Branson, Missouri, features a track that is inclined at 84 ∘ below the horizontal and that span
harina [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

a)

Ff = μmgcosθ

Ff = 0.28(1600)(9.8)cos(-84)

Ff = 458.9217...

Ff = 460 N

b)  ignoring the curves required at top and bottom which change the friction force significantly, especially at the bottom where centripetal acceleration will greatly increase normal forces and thus friction force.

W = Ffd

W = 458.9217(-49.4/sin(-84)

W = 22,795.6119...

W = 23 kJ

c) same assumptions as part b

The change in potential energy minus the work of friction will be kinetic energy.

KE = PE - W

½mv² = mgh - (μmgcosθ)d

v² = 2(gh - (μgcosθ)(h/sinθ))

v = √(2gh(1 - μcotθ))

v = √(2(9.8)(49.4)(1 - 0.28cot84))

v = 30.6552...

v = 31 m/s
