Where does friction oppose motion in a roller coaster car

1 answer:

7 0

In roller coasters, friction is a force that opposes motion and significantly slows the cars as they move on the track. While it is easy to believe that friction is bad for the ride, it is one of the forces engineers consider in ensuring passengers have a safe ride

You are looking down on a N = 9 turn coil in a magnetic field B = 0.5 T which points directly down into the screen. If the diame

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The magnitude of the voltage is $2.27\times10^{-4}\ V$ and the direction of the current is clockwise.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns = 9

Magnetic field = 0.5 T

Diameter = 3 cm

Time t = 0.14 s

We need to calculate the flux

Using formula of flux

$\phi=NAB$

Put the value into the formula

$\phi=9\times\pi\times(1.5\times10^{-2})^2\times0.5$

$\phi=0.003180$

We need to calculate the emf

Using formula of emf

$\epsilon=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}$

$\epsilon=-\dfrac{0.003180}{0.14}$

$\epsilon =-0.000227\ V$

$\epsilon=-2.27\times10^{-4}\ V$

Negative sign shows the direction of current.

Hence, The magnitude of the voltage is $2.27\times10^{-4}\ V$ and the direction of the current is clockwise.

A rock is dropped from a height of 3,245 m. If we ignore air resistance, how fast will it be travelling after it falls for 3.4 s

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

954.4m/s

Explanation:

For a free falling object,it has constant acceleration and a changing velocity.

By using the velocity-time formula, the velocity can be obtained.

The height the rock travelled is the distance.

From,

Velocity (v) = Distance (d) / Time(t)

v = 3245m/3.4s

v = 954.4m/s

That js the answer I got. Hope it's right.

The two measurements necessary for calculating average speed are

alisha [4.7K]

The correct answer is Option (C) distance and time

Explanation:

Average speed of any object is defined as the total distance that object travels over the time it takes to travel that distance. In other words, average speed is the total distance divided by the elapsed time.

$Average \thinspace Speed = \frac{Total \thinspace Distance}{Elapsed \thinspace Time}$

Therefore, as you can see in the above equation, the two measurements that are essential for the calculation of the average speed are the (total) distance and the (elapsed) time.

Hence, the correct option is C.

Through which one of the following mediums is the velocity of a sound wave the greatest?

Colt1911 [192]

Answer: C. Steel

Explanation: When a sound wave travels through a solid body consisting

of an elastic material, the velocity of the wave is relatively

high. For instance, the velocity of a sound wave traveling

through steel (which is almost perfectly elastic) is about

5,060 meters per second. On the other hand, the velocity

of a sound wave traveling through an inelastic solid is

relatively low. So, for example, the velocity of a sound wave

traveling through lead (which is inelastic) is approximately

1,402 meters per second.
