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.

Happy Holidays!

Recall that:

Impulse = Change in Momentum = mass × change in velocity

Since both cars are identical and have the same initial velocity of 60 mph, them breaking to a stop means that they both experience the same change in velocity.

Thus, both of the cars' impulses are equal.

10. A 25 kg apple cart is being pushed with an applied force of 115 N. The coefficient of friction between the ground and the ca

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

1.1 m/s²

Explanation:

From the question,

F -mgμ = ma.................... Equation 1

Where F = applied force, m = mass of the apple cart, g = acceleration due to gravity, μ = coefficient of friction., a = acceleration of the apple cart.

Given: F = 115 N, m = 25 kg, μ = 0.35

Constant: g = 10 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

115-(25×10×0.35) = 25×a

115-87.5 = 25a

25a = 27.5

a = 27.5/25

a = 1.1 m/s²

The position of a ball rolling in a straight line is given by x=2−3.6t+4.4t2, where x is in meters and t in seconds.

kobusy [5.1K]

I'm assuming the question is time it will take for ball to reach ground, if it is then set equation to zero then use the quadratic formula, the possible t value is your answer then

infrared radiation from young stars can pass through the heavy dust clouds surrounding them, allowing astronomers here on earth

Mashcka [7]

The wavelength of the infrared radiation is λ = $3.174$ × $10^{-5}$ m.

<h3>What is infrared radiation?</h3>

An infrared telescope is tuned to detect infrared radiation with a frequency of 9.45 THz.

We know that,

1 THz = 10¹² Hz

So,

f = 9.45 × 10¹² Hz

We need to find the wavelength of the infrared radiation.

λ=c/f

λ = 3× $10^{8}$ /9.45× $10^{12}$

λ = 3.174 × $10^{-5}$ m

The term "infrared radiation" (IR) refers to a part of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum with wavelengths between about 700 nanometers (nm) and one millimeter (mm). Longer than visible light waves but shorter than radio waves are infrared waves.

Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than those of visible light is known as infrared, also known as infrared light. Since it is undetectable to the human eye, The typical range of wavelengths considered to be infrared (IR) is from about 1 millimeter to the nominal red edge of the visible spectrum, or about 700 nanometers.
