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.

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

v = 26.7 mph

Explanation:

During the first 5 hours, at a constant speed of 20 mph, we find the total displacement to be as follows:

Δx₁ = v₁*t₁ = 20 mph*5 h = 100 mi

Assuming we can neglect the displacement during the speeding up from 20 to 60 mph, we can find the the total displacement at 60 mph as follows:

Δx₂ = v₂*t₂ = 60 mph*1 h = 60 mi

So, the total displacement during all the trip wil be:

Δx = Δx₁ + Δx₂ = 100 mi + 60 mi = 160 mi

So we can find the the average velocity during the 6-hour period, applying the definition of average velocity, as follows:

v = Δx / Δt = 160 mi / 6 h = 26.7 mph
