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.

What is the difference between the B-field and the H-field?
Simora [160]
The H field is in units of amps/meter.  It is sometimes called the auxiliary field. It describes the strength (or intensity) of a magnetic field. The B field is the magnetic flux density.  It tells us how dense the field is.  If you think about a magnetic field as a collection of magnetic field lines, the B field tells us how closely they are spaced together. These lines (flux linkages) are measured in a unit called a Weber (Wb).  This is the analog to the electric charge, the Coulomb.  Just like electric flux density (the D field, given by D=εE) is Coulombs/m²,  The B field is given by Wb/m², or Tesla.  The B field is defined to be μH, in a similar way the D field is defined.  Thus B is material dependent.  If you expose a piece of iron (large μ) to an H field, the magnetic moments (atoms) inside will align in the field and amplify it.  This is why we use iron cores in electromagnets and transformers.
So if you need to measure how much flux goes through a loop, you need the flux density times the area of the loop Φ=BA.  The units work out like 
Φ=[Wb/m²][m²]=[Wb], which is really just the amount of flux.  The H field alone can't tell you this because without μ, we don't know the "number of field" lines that were caused in the material (even in vacuum) by that H field.  And the flux cares about the number of lines, not the field intensity.
I'm way into magnetic fields, my PhD research is in this area so I could go on forever.   I have included a picture that also shows M, the magnetization of a material along with H and B.  M is like the polarization vector, P, of dielectric materials. If you need more info let me know but I'll leave you alone for now!

Can someone help me with this Physics question please?
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for this, the easy one, is

N=N_0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{H} where No is the initial amount of the element, t is the time in years, and H is the half life. Filling in:

N=48.0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{49.2}{12.3} and simplifying a bit:

N=48.0(.5)^4 and

N = 48.0(.0625) so

N = 3 mg left after 12.3 years
