Where does friction oppose motion in a roller coaster car

Physics
1 answer:
Ksju [112]3 years ago
7 0
In roller coasters, friction is a force that opposes motion and significantly slows the cars as they move on the track.<span> 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</span>

A ray of light incident in water strikes the surface separating water from air making an angle of 10 ° with the normal to the su
labwork [276]

Answer:

a

 \theta _2  = 13^o

b

 \theta _1  =32.94^o

c

 \theta_c  =  53.05^o    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The angle of incidence is  \theta_1 =  10^o

    The refractive index of water is  n_1 = 1.3

  Generally Snell's law is mathematically represented as

          n_1 sin(\theta_1) =  n_2 sin(\theta_ 2)

Here n_2 is the refractive index of air with value  n_2 =  1

         \theta_2  is the angle of refraction

So  

        \theta _2  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{n_1 * sin(\theta _1)}{n_2} ]

=>     \theta _2  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{1.3 * sin(10)}{1} ]

=>     \theta _2  = 13^o

Given that the angle should not be greater than \theta _2 =45^o  then the angle of incidence will be

       \theta _1  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{n_2 * sin(\theta _2)}{n_1} ]

=>     \theta _1  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{1 * sin(45)}{1.3} ]

=>     \theta _1  =32.94^o

Generally for critical angle is mathematically represented as

        \theta_c  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{n_2}{n_1} ]

=>     \theta_c  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{1}{1.3} ]  

=>     \theta_c  =  53.05^o

When the temperature of 2.35 m^3 of a liquid is increased by 48.5 degrees Celsius, it expands by 0.0920 m^3. What is its coeffic
alexandr1967 [171]

Coefficient of volume expansion is 8.1 ×10⁻⁴ C⁻¹.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The volume expansion of a liquid is given by ΔV,

ΔV = α V₀ ΔT

ΔT = change in temperature  = 48.5° C

α =  coefficient of volume expansion =?

V₀ = initial volume = 2.35 m³

We need to find α , by plugin the given values in the equation and by rearranging the equation as,

\alpha=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{V}_{0} \Delta \mathrm{T}}=\frac{0.0920}{2.35 \times 48.5}=0.00081

  = 8.1 ×10⁻⁴ C⁻¹.
