Kinetic and Potential Energy HistoryA roller coaster train going down hill represents merely a complex case as a body is descending an inclined plane. Newton's first two laws relate force and acceleration, which are key concepts in roller coaster physics. At amusement parks, Newton's laws can be applied to every ride. These rides range from 'The Swings' to The 'Hammer'. Newton was also one of the developers of calculus which is essential to analyzing falling bodies constrained on more complex paths than inclined planes. A roller coaster rider is in an gravitational field except with the Principle of Equivalence.Potential EnergyPotential energy is the same as stored energy. The "stored" energy is held within the gravitational field. When you lift a heavy object you exert energy which later will become kinetic energy when the object is dropped. A lift motor from a roller coaster exerts potential energy when lifting the train to the top of the hill. The higher the train is lifted by the motor the more potential energy is produced; thus, forming a greater amount if kinetic energy when the train is dropped. At the top of the hills the train has a huge amount of potential energy, but it <span>has very little kinetic energy.Kinetic Energy The word "kinetic" is derived from the Greek word meaning to move, and the word "energy" is the ability to move. Thus, "kinetic energy" is the energy of motion --it's ability to do work. The faster the body moves the more kinetic energy is produced. The greater the mass and speed of an object the more kinetic energy there will be. Hope this helped:))))</span>
Answer:
Option (c) is correct.
Explanation:
The apparent change in the frequency of light due to the relative motion between the source and the observer is called Doppler's effect.
When the source is moving towards the observer which is at rest, the apparent frequency increases and if the observer is moving away the frequency of sound decreases.
It occurs for both light and sound.
So, to explain the blue shift of light in the universe is due to the Doppler's effect of light.
Answer:
The chunk went as high as
2.32m above the valley floor
Explanation:
This type of collision between both ice is an example of inelastic collision, kinetic energy is conserved after the ice stuck together.
Applying the principle of energy conservation for the two ice we have based on the scenery
Momentum before impact = momentum after impact
M1U1+M2U2=(M1+M2)V
Given data
Mass of ice 1 M1= 5.20kg
Mass of ice 2 M2= 5.20kg
velocity of ice 1 before impact U1= 13.5 m/s
velocity of ice 2 before impact U2= 0m/s
Velocity of both ice after impact V=?
Inputting our data into the energy conservation formula to solve for V
5.2*13.5+5.2*0=(10.4)V
70.2+0=10.4V
V=70.2/10.4
V=6.75m/s
Therefore the common velocity of both ice is 6.75m/s
Now after impact the chunk slide up a hill to solve for the height it climbs
Let us use the equation of motion
v²=u²-2gh
The negative sign indicates that the chunk moved against gravity
And assuming g=9.81m/s
Initial velocity of the chunk u=0m/s
Substituting we have
6.75²= 0²-2*9.81*h
45.56=19.62h
h=45.56/19.62
h=2.32m
