A radiometer can be used to determine the position of an approaching hot object by measuring the amount of irradiation it detect
s. Consider a radiometer placed at a distance H 5 0.5 m from the x-axis is used to measure the position of an approaching small blackbody object. If the radiometer is measuring 80% of the irradiation corresponding to the position of the object directly under the radiometer (x 5 0), determine the position of the object L.

The answer to the question is
The roller coaster will reach point B with a speed of 14.72 m/s
Explanation:
Considering both kinetic energy KE = 1/2×m×v² and potential energy PE = m×g×h
Where m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
h = starting height of the roller coaster
we have the given variables
h₁ = 36 m,
h₂ = 13 m,
h₃ = 30 m
v₁ = 1.00 m/s
Total energy at point 1 = 0.5·m·v₁² + m·g·h₁
= 0.5 m×1² + m×9.81×36
=353.66·m
Total energy at point 2 = 0.5·m·v₂² + m·g·h₂
= 0.5×m×v₂² + 9.81 × 13 × m = 0.5·m·v₂² + 127.53·m
The total energy at 1 and 2 are not equal due to the frictional force which must be considered
Total energy at point 2 = Total energy at point 1 + work done against friction
Friction work = F×d×cosθ = ( × mg)×60×cos 180 = -117.72m
0.5·m·v₂² + 127.53·m = 353.66·m -117.72m
0.5·m·v₂² = 108.41×m
v₂² = 216.82
v₂ = 14.72 m/s
The roller coaster will reach point B with a speed of 14.72 m/s
Initial speed of the car (u) = 15 m/s
Final speed of the car (v) = 0 m/s (Car comes to a complete stop after driver applies the brake)
Distance travelled by the car before it comes to halt (s) = 63 m
By using equation of motion, we get:
Acceleration of the car (a) = -1.78 m/s²
Magnitude of the car's acceleration (|a|) = 1.78 m/s²
