A 2320 pound roller coaster starts from rest and is launched such that it creates a 110 ft high hill with a speed of 65 mph. The

roller coaster travels 1283 ft in reaching the top of the hill and there is a constant drag force of 87 pounds. Determine the required launch energy.

Answer: E = 941738.537J

Explanation:

to begin,

given that the mass = 2320 pound = 1052.334 kg

Δh = 110 ft = 33.528 m

given that  distance (d) = 1283 ft = 391.058 m

also the speed (v) is 65 mph = 29.058 m/s

force (F) = 87 pounds = 386.995 N

from our knowledge in work energy theory;

E = Fd + 1/2mv² + mgh

E = (386.995 × 391.058) + (1/2×1052.334×29.058²) + (1052.334×9.81×33.528)

E = 151337.491 + 444278.2 + 346122.84

E = 941738.537J

i hope this helps, cheers.

Use Coulomb’s law to derive the dimension for the permittivity of free space. <br><br><br><br>​
Paraphin [41]

Answer: M^-1 L^-3T^4A^2

Explanation:

From coloumb's law

K = q1q2 / (F × r^2)

Where;

q1, q2 = charges

k = constant (permittivity of free space)

r = distance

Charge (q) = current(A) × time(T) = TA

THEREFORE,

q1q2 = (TA) × (TA) = (TA)^2

Velocity = Distance(L) / time(T) = L/T

Acceleration = change in Velocity(L/T) / time (T)

Therefore, acceleration = LT^-2

Force(F) = Mass(M) × acceleration (LT^-2)

Force(F) = MLT^-2

Distance(r^2) = L^2

From ; K = q1q2 / (F × r^2)

K = (TA)^2 / (MLT^-2) (L^2)

K = T^2A^2M^-1L^-1T^2 L^-2

What kind of gas cloud is most likely to give birth to stars? what kind of gas cloud is most likely to give birth to stars? a co
navik [9.2K]
Hello! 

The kind of gas cloud that is most likely to give birth to stars is a cold, dense gas cloud.

Stars are formed in giant molecular clouds, called "star nurseries". These are regions with molecular Hydrogen, Helium, and little amounts of other elements. These are cold and dense regions, and the gas cloud collapses, forming a protostar. The protostar gradually heats, powering nuclear reactions in its center, which increases the temperature even more and giving birth to a star. 

Have a nice day!

A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to reach a speed of 21 m/s in 7.0 s. What was the speed of the object after 2.0
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

6 m/s

Explanation:

Well we can find acceleration a=v/t = (21-0)/7=3 m/s^2

vf=at+v0, use this equation to solve for the vf

vf=3(2)+0=6 m/s was its speed at 2s
