When you are on a roller coaster, you are constantly transforming from Potential to Kinetic energy and back. Explain how these e

nergy transformation would occur as the coaster goes from point A all the way to point E.

Answer:

The two types of energy possessed by the roller coaster are:

- Potential energy: it is the energy possessed by the roller coaster due to its position. It is calculated as

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the roller coaster

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the roller coaster relative to the ground

- KInetic energy: it is the energy possessed by the roller coaster due to its motion. It is calculated as

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

v is the speed of the roller coaster

Moreover, according to the law of conservation of energy, the total mechanical energy of the roller coaster (the sum of potential+kinetic energy) is constant during the motion:

E=PE+KE=const.

This implies that:

- When PE increases (because h increases), KE decreases (because v decreases)

- When PE decreases (because h decreases), KE increases (because v increases)

Now we can apply these conclusions to the motion of the roller coaster:

- When it moves from A to B, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, so PE decreases and KE increases

- When it moves from B to C, kinetic energy is converted into potential energy, so PE increases and KE decreases

- When it moves from C to D, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, so PE decreases and KE increases

- When it moves from D to E,  kinetic energy is converted into potential energy, so PE increases and KE decreases

A CD has to rotate under the readout-laser with a constant linear velocity of 1.25 m/s. If the laser is at a position 3.7 cm fro
Savatey [412]

Answer:N=322.53 rpm

Explanation:

Given

Linear velocity (v)=1.25 m/s

Position from center is 3.7 cm

we know

v=\omega \times r

1.25\times 100=\omega \times 3.7

\omega =\frac{125}{3.7}=33.78

and \frac{2\pi N}{60}=\omega

N=\frac{\omega \times 60}{2\pi }

N=\frac{33.78\times 60}{2\pi }

N=322.53 rpm

The machine in the figure is ideal and an effort force of
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

1.5 m

Explanation:

Let the distance from the box to the pivot be c.

Let the distance from the pivot to the effort be y.

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Effort force (Fₑ) = 7 N

Force of resistance (Fᵣ) = 14 N

Distance from the box to the pivot (c) = 0.75 m

Distance from the pivot to the effort (y) =?

Clockwise moment = Fₑ × y

Anticlock wise moment = Fᵣ × c

Clockwise moment = Anticlock wise moment

Fₑ × y = Fᵣ × c

7 × y = 14 × 0.75

7 × y = 10.5

Divide both side by 7

y = 10.5 / 7

y = 1.5 m

Therefore, the distance from the pivot to the effort is 1.5 m

Imagine you are mpho:how can you help your friend (phenyo) not to be influenced by media? you really feel she needs some help be
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

One of the ways to help someone not to be influenced by media is:

  • Encourage independent thinking.
  • Let her know that she should make sure the information she is consuming is free from bias and is factual.

<h3>What is Media Influence?</h3>

This refers to the effects and reactions which the mass media has on the people who listen to them by shaping their views and by controlling the narrative.

With this in mind, we can note that if a person is overtly influenced by the media, then such a person lacks independent thinking and becomes emotional by what he watches on the television or reads from an online source.

This can be changed through the encouragement of independent thinking, and the need to check for factual information from the media news and also to focus more on studies.

what will happen to the pressure in a gas if you compressed it into a volume that was one third the size? why?​
Annette [7]

Answer:

Pressure will triple   (Boyle's Law)  

Explanation:

Assuming a constant temperature:  (compressing gases usually raises the temp significantly):

P1V1 = P2V2

P1V1 / V2   = P2      

   Now change V2  to 1/3 V2:

P1V1 / (1/3 V2 ) = P2 / (1/3 )

P1V1/ (1/3 v2 ) = 3 P2                <======= THE PRESSURE WILL TRIPLE

    This is Boyle's Law
