If you designed a rollercoaster, how might you design it? Would you have friction?

Yes, because you would need friction to slow down the rollercoaster to a stop.

Lab Safety Rules:

Report all accidents, injuries, and breakage of glass or equipment to instructor immediately. Keep pathways clear by placing extra items (books, bags, etc.) on the shelves or under the work tables. If under the tables, make sure that these items can not be stepped on. Long hair (chin-length or longer) must be tied back to avoid catching fire. Wear sensible clothing including footwear. Loose clothing should be secured so they do not get caught in a flame or chemicals.Work quietly — know what you are doing by reading the assigned experiment before you start to work. Pay close attention to any cautions described in the laboratory exercises Do not taste or smell chemicals. Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes when heating substances, dissecting, etc. Do not attempt to change the position of glass tubing in a stopper. Never point a test tube being heated at another student or yourself. Never look into a test tube while you are heating it.Unauthorized experiments or procedures must not be attempted.Keep solids out of the sink. Leave your work station clean and in good order before leaving the laboratory. Do not lean, hang over or sit on the laboratory tables. Do not leave your assigned laboratory station without permission of the teacher. Learn the location of the fire extinguisher, eye wash station, first aid kit and safety shower. Fooling around or "horse play" in the laboratory is absolutely forbidden. Students found in violation of this safety rule will be barred from participating in future labs and could result in suspension. Anyone wearing acrylic nails will not be allowed to work with matches, lighted splints, Bunsen burners, etc. Do not lift any solutions, glassware or other types of apparatus above eye level. Follow all instructions given by your teacher.Learn how to transport all materials and equipment safely. No eating or drinking in the lab at any time!

A 1.1-kg object is suspended from a vertical spring whose spring constant is 120 N/m. (a) Find the amount by which the spring is

andriy [413]

Answer:

e = 0.0898m

v = 2.07m/s

Explanation:

a) According to Hooke's law

F = ke

e is the extension

k is the spring constant

Since F = mg

mg = ke

e = mg/k

Substitute the given value

e = 1.1(9.8)/120

e = 10.78/120

e = 0.0898m

Hence it is stretched by 0.0898m from its unstrained length

2) Total Energy = PE+KE+Elastic potential

Total Energy = mgh +1/2mv²+1/2ke²

Substitute the given value

5.0= 1.1(9.8)(0.2)+1/2(1.1)v²+1/2(120)(0.0898)²

Solve for v

5.0 = 2.156+0.55v²+0.48338

5.0-2.156-0.48338= 0.55v²

2.36 =0.55v²

v² = 2.36/0.55

v² = 4.29

v ,= √4.29

v = 2.07m/s

Hence the required velocity is 9.28m/s

NEED HELP ASAP

Dafna11 [192]

Answers:

a) -2.54 m/s

b) -2351.25 J

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by the Conservation of Momentum principle, which establishes that the initial momentum $p_{o}$ must be equal to the final momentum $p_{f}$ :

$p_{o}=p_{f}$ (1)

Where:

$p_{o}=m_{1} V_{o} + m_{2} U_{o}$ (2)

$p_{f}=(m_{1} + m_{2}) V_{f}$ (3)

$m_{1}=110 kg$ is the mass of the first football player

$V{o}=-7 m/s$ is the velocity of the first football player (to the south)

$m_{2}=75 kg$ is the mass of the second football player

$U_{o}=4 m/s$ is the velocity of the second football player (to the north)

$V_{f}$ is the final velocity of both football players

With this in mind, let's begin with the answers:

a) Velocity of the players just after the tackle

Substituting (2) and (3) in (1):

$m_{1} V_{o} + m_{2} U_{o}=(m_{1} + m_{2}) V_{f}$ (4)

Isolating $V_{f}$ :

$V_{f}=\frac{m_{1} V_{o} + m_{2} U_{o}}{m_{1} + m_{2}}$ (5)

$V_{f}=\frac{(110 kg)(-7 m/s) + (75 kg) (4 m/s)}{110 kg + 75 kg}$ (6)

$V_{f}=-2.54 m/s$ (7) The negative sign indicates the direction of the final velocity, to the south

b) Decrease in kinetic energy of the 110kg player

The change in Kinetic energy $\Delta K$ is defined as:

$\Delta K=\frac{1}{2} m_{1}V_{f}^{2} - \frac{1}{2} m_{1}V_{o}^{2}$ (8)

Simplifying:

$\Delta K=\frac{1}{2} m_{1}(V_{f}^{2} - V_{o}^{2})$ (9)

$\Delta K=\frac{1}{2} 110 kg((-2.5 m/s)^{2} - (-7 m/s)^{2})$ (10)

Finally:

$\Delta K=-2351.25 J$ (10) Where the minus sign indicates the player's kinetic energy has decreased due to the perfectly inelastic collision

a baseball is hit 3 feet above ground level at 100 feet per second and at an angle of 45 with respect to the ground. (g=32 feet/

LiRa [457]

Answer:

hmax=81ft

Explanation:

Maximum height of the object is the highest vertical position along its trajectory.

The vertical velocity is equal to 0 (Vy = 0)

$0=V_{y}-g*t=v_{0}*sin(\alpha)-g*th\\$

we isolate th (needed to reach the maximum height hmax)

$th = \frac{v_{0}*sin(\alpha)}{g}$

The formula describing vertical distance is:

$y = Vy * t-g* t^{2} / 2$

So, given y = hmax and t = th, we can join those two equations together:

$hmax = Vy* th-g*th^{2}/2$

$hmax =Vo^{2}*sin(\alpha )^{2}/(2*g)$

if we launch a projectile from some initial height h all you need to do is add this initial elevation

$hmax =h+Vo^{2}*sin(\alpha)^{2}/(2*g)$

$hmax =3+100^{2}*sin(45)^{2}/(2 * 32)=81 ft$

A block is pulled across a flat surface at a constant speed using a force of 50 newtons at an angle of 60 degrees above the hori

vladimir2022 [97]

The magnitude of the friction force is 25 N

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we just have to analyze the forces acting on the block along the horizontal direction. We have:

The horizontal component of the pulling force, $F cos \theta$ , where F = 50 N is the magnitude and $\theta=60^{\circ}$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the horizontal; this force acts in the forward direction
The force of friction, $F_f$ , acting in the backward direction

According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on the block in the horizontal direction must be equal to the product between the mass of the block and its acceleration:

$\sum F_x = ma_x$
