Where does the energy form to give the roller coaster potential energy at the top of the first hill?

1 answer:

5 0

When the winch is pulling it up it's first hill, it is losing it's energy to give it to the coaster. It starts gaining energy because its height. Then when it goes down the hill, gravity kicks in and the potential energy turns into kinetic energy.

A 15.0 kg fish swimming at 1.10 m/s suddenly gobbles up a 4.50 kg fish that is initially stationary. Ignore any drag effects of

Nana76 [90]

Answer

given.

Mass of big fish = 15 Kg

speed of big fish = 1.10 m/s

mass of the small fish = 4.50 Kg

speed of the fish after eating small fish =?

a) using conservation of momentum

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁+m₂) V

15 x 1.10 + 4.50 x 0 = (15 + 4.5)V

16.5 = 19.5 V

V = 0.846 m/s

b) Kinetic energy before collision

$KE_1 = \dfrac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2$

$KE_1 = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 15 \times 1.1^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}m_2\times 0^2$

KE₁ = 9.075 J

Kinetic energy after collision

$KE_2= \dfrac{1}{2}(15+4.5)\times 0.846^2$

KE₂ = 6.98 J

Change in KE = 6.98 - 9.075 = -2.096 J

hence,

mechanical energy was dissipated during this meal = -2.096 J

If you had a rock with a volume of 237 ml and a density of 4.52 g/ml how much mass would it have?

larisa [96]

Explanation:

Mass = Volume * Density

= 237ml * (4.52g/ml)

= 1071.2g.

Anna [14]

Answer:12 meter

Explanation:

acceleration(a)=6m/s^2

Time(t)=2 seconds

Distance =(a x t^2)/2

Distance =(6 x 2^2)/2

Distance=(6 x 2 x 2)/2

Distance=24/2

Distance =12

Distance is 12 meters
