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

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

A brick is dropped from a big scaffold. What is its velocity after 4.0s?
Flura [38]

The velocity of the brick is 39.2 m/s downward

Explanation:

The motion of the brick is a free fall motion, since the object is affected only by the force of gravity. Therefore, it has a uniformly accelerated motion towards the ground, with constant acceleration of g=9.8 m/s^2.

So, we can find its velocity using the suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

For the brick in this problem (taking downward as positive direction)

u = 0 (it is dropped from rest)

a=g=9.8 m/s^2

Therefore, its velocity after t = 4.0 s is:

v=0+(9.8)(4.0)=39.2 m/s

Downward, because the sign is positive.

You send a traveling wave along a particular string by oscillating one end. If you increase the frequency of oscillations, does
eimsori [14]

Answer:

The speed of the wave remains the same

Explanation:

Since the speed of the wave v = √(T/μ) where T is the tension in the string and μ is the linear density of the string.

We observed that the speed, v is independent of the frequency of the  wave in the string. So, increasing the frequency of the wave has no effect on the speed of the wave in the string, since the speed of the wave in the string is only dependent on the properties of the string.

<u>So, If you increase the frequency of oscillations, the speed of the wave remains the same.</u>

How do the earth's physical features affect people's activities?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

d.all of the above

Explanation:

The physical feature of the planet Earth affect people's activities in the following manner -  

  • Choice of Occupation  - the process of occupation is completely a land depended process , hence any changes on the physical features of Earth , like the climate , temperature , rain etc , will hinder the occupations process .
  • Method of transportation - it is also a Climate dependent process , so any change in climate may obstruct the transportation facility .
  • Recreational activities - also depends on the physical feature of the planet Earth .
