Answer:

D. The truck and trailer will experience a net force of 40 newtons backward

Explanation:

Taking the greatest force (trailer), and subtracting it by the smaller force (truck), we can find how many newtons the greater force is applying to pull the whole system:

2,790 - 2,750 = 40 N

Since we know that the trailer is the greater force, the truck & trailer are being pulled backwards by 40 Newtons

Share your thoughts about this statement by John Wesley "Electricty is the soul of universe"

ikadub [295]

Answer:

I think this statement is true at least in modern day times. The world runs on nothing but technology. People use more technology instead of old school textbooks and papers. Imagine living in a world without technology… that means no cars, no trains, no devices, no machines like your stove or printer, no lights and lots more. John Wesley is 100 percent correct with this statement. Electricity is indeed the powerhouse of the universe.

A 100 kg roller coaster comes over the first hill at 2 m/sec (vo). The height of the first hill (h) is 20 meters. See roller dia

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

For the 100 kg roller coaster that comes over the first hill of height 20 meters at 2 m/s, we have:

1) The total energy for the roller coaster at the initial point is 19820 J

2) The potential energy at point A is 19620 J

3) The kinetic energy at point B is 10010 J

4) The potential energy at point C is zero

5) The kinetic energy at point C is 19820 J

6) The velocity of the roller coaster at point C is 19.91 m/s

1) The total energy for the roller coaster at the initial point can be found as follows:

$E_{t} = KE_{i} + PE_{i}$

Where:

KE: is the kinetic energy = (1/2)mv₀²

m: is the mass of the roller coaster = 100 kg

v₀: is the initial velocity = 2 m/s

PE: is the potential energy = mgh

g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h: is the height = 20 m

The total energy is:

$E_{t} = KE_{i} + PE_{i} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{0}^{2} + mgh = \frac{1}{2}*100 kg*(2 m/s)^{2} + 100 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}*20 m = 19820 J$

Hence, the total energy for the roller coaster at the initial point is 19820 J.

2) The potential energy at point A is:

$PE_{A} = mgh_{A} = 100 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}*20 m = 19620 J$

Then, the potential energy at point A is 19620 J.

3) The kinetic energy at point B is the following:

$KE_{A} + PE_{A} = KE_{B} + PE_{B}$

$KE_{B} = KE_{A} + PE_{A} - PE_{B}$

Since

$KE_{A} + PE_{A} = KE_{i} + PE_{i}$

we have:

$KE_{B} = KE_{i} + PE_{i} - PE_{B} = 19820 J - mgh_{B} = 19820 J - 100kg*9.81m/s^{2}*10 m = 10010 J$

Hence, the kinetic energy at point B is 10010 J.

4) The potential energy at point C is zero because h = 0 meters.

$PE_{C} = mgh = 100 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}*0 m = 0 J$

5) The kinetic energy of the roller coaster at point C is:

$KE_{i} + PE_{i} = KE_{C} + PE_{C}$

$KE_{C} = KE_{i} + PE_{i} = 19820 J$

Therefore, the kinetic energy at point C is 19820 J.

6) The velocity of the roller coaster at point C is given by:

$KE_{C} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{C}^{2}$

$v_{C} = \sqrt{\frac{2KE_{C}}{m}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*19820 J}{100 kg}} = 19.91 m/s$

Hence, the velocity of the roller coaster at point C is 19.91 m/s.
