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.

The amount of work done by two boys who apply 200 N of force in an

Aleksandr [31]

The amount of work done by two boys who apply 200 N of force in an unsuccessful attempt to move a stalled car is 0.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation: </u>

Work done is the measure of work done by someone to push an object from its present position. We can also define work done as the amount of forces needed to move an object from its present position to another position. So the amount of work done is directly proportionate to the product of forces acting on the object and the displacement of the object.

$\text { Work done }=\text { Force } \times \text { displacement }$

So in this present case, as the two boys have done an unsuccessful attempts to push a stalled car so that means the displacement of the car is zero as there is no change in the position of the car. But they have applied a force of 200 N each. So the amount of work done will be

$\text { Work done }=200 \mathrm{N} \times 0=0$

Thus, the amount of work done by two boys will be zero due to their unsuccessful attempt to move a stalled car.

What is the minimum coeffecient of static friction μmin required between the ladder and the ground so that the ladder does not s

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

$\mu = \frac{1}{2tan\theta}$

Explanation:

let the ladder is of mass "m" and standing at an angle with the ground

So here by horizontal force balance we will have

$\mu N_1 = N_2$

by vertical force balance we have

$N_1 = mg$

now by torque balance about contact point on ground we will have

$mg(\frac{L}{2}cos\theta) = N_2(L sin\theta)$

so we will have

$N_2 = \frac{mg}{2tan\theta}$

now from first equation we have

$\mu (mg) = \frac{mg}{2tan\theta}$

$\mu = \frac{1}{2tan\theta}$

If a nucleus was as big as a nonpareil, an atom would be ____

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

small marble

Explanation:

A nonpareil are confectionery tiny ball items that are made up of starch and sugar. It is very small of the size of sugar crystal or sand grains. They were the miniature version of the comfits. They are generally opaque white but bow available in all colors.

In the context, if the nucleus is compared to the size of a nonpareil then its atom would be of the size of small size marble. An atom is bigger in size than that of nucleus as the nucleus is located inside the atoms.
