You have been asked to make a roller coaster more exciting. The owners want the speed at the bottom of the first hill doubled. H
qaws [65]

Answer:

The height will be 4 times.

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed at the bottom of the hill doubled.

We need to calculate the height

Using conservation of energy

K.E_{t}+P.E_{t}=K.E_{b}+P.E_{b}

K.E_{b}=P.E_{t}

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh

\dfrac{1}{2}m(4v^2)=mgh

Therefore,

P.E = mg(4h)

Here, m and g are constant

Hence, The height will be 4 times.

(a)
Marta_Voda [28]

a) The momentum of the coconut is 3 kg m/s

b) At first, the air resistance is negligible, so the coconut accelerates due to the force of gravity

c) The coconut reaches its terminal velocity

Explanation:

a)

The momentum of an object is given by the equation

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

For the coconut in this problem, we have:

m = 1.5 kg (mass)

v = 2 m/s (velocity)

Therefore, its momentum is

p=(1.5)(2)=3 kg m/s

B)

There are only two forces acting on the coconut during its fall:

  • The force of gravity, of magnitude mg (m= mass of the coconut, g = acceleration of gravity), acting downward
  • The air resistance, acting upward, whose magnitude is proportional to the speed of the coconut

During the first momentums of the fall, the speed of the coconut is still low, so the air resistance is mostly negligible, and therefore only the force of gravity is acting on the coconut. Since this force is constant, it means that the acceleration of the coconut is constant: therefore, its velocity keeps increasing during the fall, and the coconut speeds up.

C)

If the tree is very tall, the fall of the coconut lasts long, and the  speed of the coconut keeps increasing. Since the air resistance is proportional to the speed, this means that at some point, the air resistance is no longer negligible, and it starts to have some effect on the fall of the coconut. In particular, at a certain point, the air resistance will become equal (in magnitude) to the force of gravity (but opposite in direction): this means that  from this point, the acceleration of the coconut will be zero, and therefore the coconut will continue its motion at constant velocity. This velocity is called terminal velocity, and it occurs when the force of gravity is equal to the air resistance:

mg = F_r

where F_r is the air resistance.

The Hall effect can be used to determine the density of mobile electrons in a conductor. A thin strip of the material being inve
solmaris [256]

Answer:

the density of mobile electrons in the material is 3.4716 × 10²⁵ m⁻³

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we make use of the following expression;

hall Voltage VH = IB / ned

where I = 2.25 A

B = 0.685 T

d =  0.107 mm =  0.107 × 10⁻³ m

e = 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ C

VH = 2.59 mV = 2.59 × 10⁻³ volt

n is the electron density

so from the form; VH = IB / ned

VHned = IB

n = IB / VHed

so we substitute

n = (2.25 × 0.685) / ( 2.59 × 10⁻³ × 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ × 0.107 × 10⁻³ )

n = 1.54125 /  4.4396226 × 10⁻²⁶

n = 3.4716 × 10²⁵ m⁻³

Therefore, the density of mobile electrons in the material is 3.4716 × 10²⁵ m⁻³

URGENTE ¿Cuál de los siguientes términos corresponde al concepto presión? * A. Es la fuerza perpendicular que ejerce un cuerpo s
melomori [17]

Answer:

Respuesta correcta, opción D: Es la fuerza que un cuerpo ejerce perpendicularmente sobre el área en la que actúa.

Explanation:

La definición de presión es la fuerza que un cuerpo ejerce en dirección perpendicular sobre el área en la que actúa.

Cuando se aplica una fuerza sobre la superficie de un cuerpo, la presión es la siguiente:

P = \frac{F}{A}

En donde:

F es la fuerza aplicada.

A es el área del cuerpo.  

Por lo tanto la opción correcta es la D: es la fuerza que un cuerpo ejerce perpendicularmente sobre el área en la que actúa.

Espero que se sea de utilidad!

Your mom is making lunch which forces are acting on your mom
N76 [4]

The forces acting on your mom while cooking is Air resistance and the force of friction

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>1. Air resistance:</u>

  • In simple words, Air resistance can be stated as the type of friction  between the air and the other materials.
  • In this scenario, there will be an air resistance and the air hits the mom while cooking via the doors or windows

<u>2. The force of friction:</u>

  • In simple words, friction can be stated as, the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.
  • While cooking the food mom would experience the friction since friction is the transfer of heat, and cooking is the process of receiving that heat.
