A roller coaster car is going over the top of a 18-mm-radius circular rise. At the top of the hill, the passengers "feel light,"

with an apparent weight only 50 % of their true weight. How fast is the coaster moving?

Answer:

0.29713 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v = Velocity

r = Radius = 18 mm

By balancing the forces in the system we have

mg-N=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow mg-\dfrac{mg}{2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{r(g-\dfrac{g}{2})}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{0.018\times (9.81-\dfrac{9.81}{2})}\\\Rightarrow v=0.29713\ m/s

The velocity of the coaster is 0.29713 m/s

In a binary-star system that produces a nova, the white dwarf pulls matter from the companion star. The matter forms an accretio
Studentka2010 [4]

As a head-up, it is important to notice that a white dwarf only shines thanks to the stored energy and light, because a white dwarf doesn't have any hydrogen left to perform nuclear fusion.

Now the process:

First, the white dwarf accumulates all the extracted matter from its companion, onto its own surface. This extra matter increases the white dwarf's temperature and density.

After a while, the star reaches about 10 million K, so nuclear fusion can begin. The hydrogen that has been "stolen" from the other star and accumulated in the white dwarf's surface it's used for the fusion, dramatically increasing the star's brightness for a short time, causing what we know as a Nova.

As this fuel its quickly burnt out or blown into space, the star goes back to its natural white dwarf state. Since the white dwarf nor the companion star are destroyed in this process, it can happen countless of times during their lifespan.

balls a, with a mass of 20 kg, is moving to the right at 20 m/s. At what velocity should Ball B, with a mass of 40 kg, move so t
Leya [2.2K]
In that case, their momentum must be equal. 
So, m1v1 = m2v2
20 * 20 = 40 * v2
v2 = 400 / 40
v2 = 10

In short, Your Answer would be: 10 m/s

Hope this helps!

What is the ACCELERATION of a 50 kg object pushed with a force of 500 newtons *
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>10 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

To find the acceleration of an object given the force and mass we use the formula

<h3>acceleration =  \frac{force}{mass}</h3>

From the question

mass of object = 50 kg

force = 500 N

So the acceleration is

<h3>acceleration =  \frac{500}{50}  \\  =  \frac{50}{5}</h3>

We have the final answer as

<h3>10 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
