Where does friction oppose motion in a roller coaster car

Physics
1 answer:
Ksju [112]4 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>

What disperses seeds?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
The answer would be :People, animals, water & the wind.
The reason as to why these would be the answer is because the wind disperses seeds by blowing them through the air to different locations. The water washes the seed away to a location away from the parent. Animals disperse seeds, when they leave behind their waste and the seeds are in the waste. Lastly people disperse seeds in many ways, but one of them would be like throwing them into the grass, and ir planting them.

A cylindrically shaped piece of collagen (a substance found in the body in connective tissue) is being stretched by a force that
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Part(a): The value of the spring constant is 3.11 \times 10^{2}~Kg~s^{-2}.

Part(b): The work done by the variable force that stretches the collagen is 1.5 \times 10^{-6}~J.

Explanation:

Part(a):

If 'k' be the force constant and if due the application of a force 'F' on the collagen '\Delta l' be it's increase in length, then from Hook's law

F = k~\Delta l....................................................................(I)

Also, Young's modulus of a material is given by

Y = \dfrac{F/A}{\Delta l/l}...............................................................(II)

where 'A' is the area of the material and 'l' is the length.

Comparing equation (I) and (II) we can write

&& Y = \dfrac{l~k}{A}\\&or,& k = \dfrac{Y~A}{l}\\&or,& k = \dfrac{Y~(\pi~r^{2})}{l}

Here, we have to consider only the circular surface of the collagen as force is applied only perpendicular to this surface.

Substituting the given values in equation (III), we have

k = \dfrac{3.10 \times 10^{6}~N~m^{-2} \times \pi \times (0.00093)^{2}~m^{2}}{.027~m} = 3.11 \times 10^{2}~Kg~s^{-2}

Part(b):

We know the amount of work done (W) on the collagen is stored as a potential energy (U) within it. Now, the amount of work done by the variable force that stretches the collagen can be written as

W = \dfrac{1}{2}k~x^{2} = \dfrac{(\dfrac{F}{k})^{2}k}{2} = \dfrac{F^{2}}{2~k}...................................(IV)

Substituting all the values, we can write

W = \dfrac{(3.06 \times 10^{-2})^{2}~N^{2}}{2 \times 3.11 \times 10^{2}~Kg~s^{-2}} = 1.5 \times 10^{-6}~J
