How does a roller coaster convert potential energy to kinetic energy and then back to potential energy again and again?

When the coaster ascends one of the smaller hills that follows the initial lift hill, its kinetic energy changes back to potential energy. In this way, the course of the track is constantly converting energy from kinetic to potential and back again.

Unless indicated otherwise, assume the speed of sound in air to be v = 344 m/s. A stationary police car emits a sound of frequen
bixtya [17]

Answer:

a) The velocity of the car is 7.02 m/s and the car is approaching to the police car as the frequency of the police car is increasing.

b) The frequency is 1404.08 Hz

Explanation:

If the police car is a stationary source, the frequency is:

f_{a} =(\frac{v+v_{c} }{v} )f_{s} (eq. 1)

fs = frequency of police car = 1200 Hz

fa = frequency of moving car as listener

v = speed of sound of air

vc = speed of moving car

If the police car is a stationary observer, the frequency is:

f_{L} =f_{a} (\frac{v}{v-v_{c} } )=(\frac{v+v_{c} }{v-v_{c} } )f_{s} (eq. 2)

Now,

fL = frequecy police car receives

fs = frequency police car as observer

a) The velocity of car is from eq. 2:

1250=1200(\frac{v+v_{c} }{v-v_{c} } )\\1250(v-v_{c} )=1200(v+v_{c} )\\v_{c} =\frac{50*344}{2450} =7.02m/s

b) Substitute eq. 1 in eq. 2:

f_{L} =(\frac{v+v_{p} }{v-v_{c} } )(\frac{v+v_{c} }{v-v_{p} } )f_{s} =(\frac{344+20}{344-7.02} )(\frac{344+7.02}{344-20} )*1200=1404.08Hz

A brick is resting on the surface of a flat board. as one end of the board is slowly raised, what change, if any, is there in th
vovangra [49]

The normal force decreases, this is the frictional force. It will be counteracted by the force which accelerates the brick to slide downward opposite to the end where the board is raised. As the angle increases the force acting upon the brick opposite to the normal force will decrease.
