<h2>The following is an elaboration of the differences in potential and kinetic energies based on the diagram of the roller coaster: </h2>

  • When the coaster is in position A, the potential energy is maximum and the kinetic energy is minimum.
  • As the coaster moves to position B, the potential energy is minimum and the kinetic energy is maximum .
  • As momentum carries the coaster into position C, the potential energy is minimum and the kinetic energy is maximum.
  • Finally, as the coaster reaches position D, the potential energy is maximum and the kinetic energy is minimum.

Suppose you throw a ball vertically upward with a speed of 49 m/s. Neglecting air friction, what would be the height of the ball
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

78.4 m

Explanation:

Using newton's equation of motion,

S = ut + 1/2gt²......................... Equation 1

Where S = Height, t = time, u = initial velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Note: Taking upward to be negative, and down ward positive

Given: u = 49 m/s, t = 2.0 s, g = -9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 1

S = 49(2) - 1/2(9.8)(2)²

S = 98 - 19.6

S = 78.4 m

Hence the height of the ball two seconds later = 78.4 m

A ball is thrown directly downward with an initial speed of 7.70 m/s, from a height of 30.2 m. After what time interval does it
KatRina [158]

Answer:

t = 1.82

Explanation:

Given

u = 7.70m/s -- initial velocity

s = 30.2m --- height

Required

Determine the time to hit the ground

This will be solved using the following motion equation.

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

Where

g = 9,8m/s^2

So, we have:

30.2 = 7.70t + \frac{1}{2} * 9.8 * t^2

30.2 = 7.70t + 4.9 * t^2

Subtract 30.2 from both sides

30.2 -30.2  = 7.70t + 4.9 * t^2 - 30.2

0  = 7.70t + 4.9 * t^2 - 30.2

0  = 7.70t + 4.9t^2 - 30.2

7.70t + 4.9t^2 - 30.2  = 0

4.9t^2 + 7.70t - 30.2  = 0

Solve using quadratic formula:

t = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

Where

a = 4.9;\ b = 7.70;\ c = -30.2

t = \frac{-7.70\±\sqrt{7.70^2 - 4*4.9*-30.2}}{2*4.9}

t = \frac{-7.70\±\sqrt{651.21}}{9.8}

t = \frac{-7.70\±25.52}{9.8}

Split the expression

t = \frac{-7.70+25.52}{9.8} or t = \frac{-7.70-25.52}{9.8}

t = \frac{17.82}{9.8} or t = -\frac{33.22}{9.8}

Time can't be negative;  So, we have:

t = \frac{17.82}{9.8}

t = 1.82

Hence, the time to hit the ground is 1.82 seconds

3. A bicycle has a momentum of 25.00 kg* m/s and a velocity of 2.5 m/s . What is the bicycle's
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

10 kg

Explanation:

The question is most likely asking for the mass of the bicycle.

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity. Mathematically:

p = m * v

Where p = momentum

m = mass

v = velocity

Hence, mass is:

m = p / v

From the question:

p = 25 kgm/s

v = 2.5 m/s

Mass is:

m = 25 / 2.5 = 10 kg

The mass of the bicycle is 10 kg.

In case the question requires the Kinetic energy of the bicycle, it can be gotten by using the formula

K. E = ½ * p * v

K. E. = ½ * 25 * 2.5 = 31.25 J

How many electrons would it take to equal the mass of a proton? Use two significant figures.
mezya [45]
<span>How many electrons would it take to equal the mass of a proton:
Here's one way of finding the value of it:
=> number of electrons is equivalent to 1 proton.
Let's have an example.
1.6726*10 -24g
_______________
     1 proton
______________
9.109*10- ^28g
_______________
1 electron

Based on the given example above, the electrons is 1 839 per 1 proton.
It's about 1800 electrons/proton.</span>
