A 2430 pound roller coaster starts from rest and is launched such that it crests a 105 ft high hill with a speed of 59 mph. The

roller coaster travels 396 ft in reaching the top of the hill and there is a constant drag force of 85 pounds. Determine launch energy

Rudik [331]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Weight of roller coaster is W=2430\ pound

mass of roller coaster m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{2430}{32.2}=75.45

Distance traveled by roller coaster d=396\ ft

drag force f_d=85\ pounds

velocity at top v=59 mph\approx 86.53\ ft/s

Suppose E is the initial energy

Conserving Energy at bottom and top

E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh+f_d\cdot d

E=0.5\times 75.45\times 86.53^2+2430\times 105+85\times 396

E=2.9\times 10^5\ foot-pound

sleet_krkn [62]
So in your question where ask to find the dipole moment of HI in C.M. So in my calculation by converting the given data from Debyes to Coulomb Meteres is that 1 Dyebes is equals to 3.33X10^(-30) C.M and the answer would be 1.40X10(-30)C.M. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more

If a body travels half its total path in the last 1.50 s of its fall from rest, find the total time of its fall (in seconds).
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

time to fall is 3.914 seconds

Explanation:

given data

half distance time = 1.50 s

to find out

find the total time of its fall

solution

we consider here s is total distance

so equation of motion for distance

s = ut + 0.5 × at²   .........1

here s is distance and u is initial speed that is 0 and a is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 and t is time

so for last 1.5 sec distance is 0.5 of its distance so equation will be

0.5 s = 0 + 0.5 × (9.8) × ( t - 1.5)²     ........................1

and

velocity will be

v = u + at

so velocity v = 0+ 9.8(t-1.5)    ..................2

so first we find time

0.5 × (9.8) × ( t - 1.5)² = 9.8(t-1.5)  + 0.5 ( 9.8)

solve and we get t

t = 3.37 s

so time to fall is 3.914 seconds

The similarity between thermal energy, heat and temperature?
Vitek1552 [10]
Heat energy and thermal energy are the same because heat energy is thermal energy. Also thermal energy and temperature are the same because temperature is measuring heat in degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit. Hope this helps!
