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

Imagine that Earth stops orbiting the Sun but continues to rotate in place about its own axis at its current rate. In this case,
otez555 [7]

Answer:

The length of the solar day will get shorter.

Explanation:

  • The blue planet Earth not only rotates around it's own axis but also rotates around the Sun and everyday it moves a little bit around the axis.
  • Since the speed of the Earth's rotation on it's own axis and around the Sun is constant we don't feel the effects of the rotation.We can only feel the motion if the earth changes it's rotation speed.
  • If by any means or chance the Earth stopped spinning (stopped rotation) then the atmosphere surrounding the Earth would be in motion and all the Earth's land would be scoured clean.

An object of mass m travels along the parabola yequalsx squared with a constant speed of 5 ​units/sec. What is the force on the
Dmitriy789 [7]

Explanation:

The object is moving along the parabola y = x² and is at the point (√2, 2).  Because the object is changing directions, it has a centripetal acceleration towards the center of the circle of curvature.

First, we need to find the radius of curvature.  This is given by the equation:

R = [1 + (y')²]^(³/₂) / |y"|

y' = 2x and y" = 2:

R = [1 + (2x)²]^(³/₂) / |2|

R = (1 + 4x²)^(³/₂) / 2

At x = √2:

R = (1 + 4(√2)²)^(³/₂) / 2

R = (9)^(³/₂) / 2

R = 27 / 2

R = 13.5

So the centripetal force is:

F = m v² / r

F = m (5)² / 13.5

F = 1.85 m

Calculer l intensité du courant qui le traverse
MissTica

Answer:

Le calcul du courant se fait avec deux éléments : la tension et la valeur de la résistance. Courant (A) = tension (V) / résistance (Ohm) ce qui donne la formule I = U/R.
