What causes the rider on a roller coaster to experience the + or - g’s if gravity always remains the same on earth
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Yes both = and - g can be felt by a rider in a roller coaster.

Explanation:

It is crucial to understand how we feel gravity in this case.

We humans have no sensory organs to directly detect magnitude and direction like some birds and other creatures, but then how do we we feel gravity?

When we stand on our feet we feel our weight due to the normal reaction of floor on our feet trying to keep us stand and our weight trying to crush us down. In an elevator we feel difference in our weight (difference magnitudes of gravity) but actually we are feeling the differences in normal reactions under different accelerations of the elevator.

In the case of roller coaster you will feel +g as you  sit on a chair in it, but will feel -g when you are in upside down position as roller coaster move.

When you are seated you will feel the normal reaction of seat on you giving you the feeling +g and the support of the buckles to stay in the roller coaster when you are upside down will give you the -g feeling.

<u>This is just the physics approach</u>, a biological approach can be given in association with sensors relating to ears.

What is the kinetic energy of a 7.26 kg bowling ball that is rolling at a speed of 2m/s
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

<h2>14.52 J</h2>

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object can be found by using the formula

k =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}  \\

m is the mass

v is the velocity

From the question we have

k =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 7.26 \times  {2}^{2}  \\  = 2 \times 7.26

We have the final answer as

<h3>14.52 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

A 16 kg science book is dropped of a 120 meter high cliff. Assuming a closed system:
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of that science book...wow. In pounds that would be 35.2! Yikes!

Anyway, we need final velocity here, and the mass of the book has nothing to do with how fast it falls. Everything is pulled by the same gravity. A feather falls at 9.8 m/s/s and so does an elephant. Mass is useless information. The equation we will use is

v^2=v_0^2+2aΔx  where

v is the final velocity, our unknown,

v₀ is the initial velocity which is 0 since someone had to be holding the book before dropping it,

a is the pull of gravity which is always -9.8 m/s/s, and

Δx = -120 which is the displacement (it's negative because the book falls below the point from which it was dropped). Filling in:

v^2=0^2+2(-9.8)(-120) so

v=\sqrt{2(-9.8)(-120)} and

v = 48 m/s

As far as how far above the bottom of the cliff the object is when it is moving at 12 m/s we will use the same equation, but the velocity will be 12:

12^2=0^2+2(-9.8)Δx and

144 = -19.6Δx so

Δx = -7.3 m. That's how far from the top of the cliff it is. We subtract then t find out how far it is from the bottom:

120 - 7.3 = 112.7 m off the ground.
