Answer:Ek=673.109 kJ
Explanation:
Use equation for Kinetic energy: Ek=m*V²/2
m=650 kg (mass of roller coaster)
V=20.0Miles/s=20.0*1.609m/s=32.18m/s
Ek=m*V²/2
Ek=650kg*(32.18m/s)²
Ek=(650kg*1053.55m²/s²)/2
Ek=673 108.8 J
Ek=673.109 kJ
Answer:
22.22m/s
Explanation:
The momentum before a collision = momentum after collision so...
work out the momentum of the first object (the bullet)
its p = mv
0.04 kg × 300 m/s = 0.54 kg × v
rearrange this to find v which is 0.04 x 300 = 12
so 12 = 0.54 x v
12/0.5 = v
v = 22.22m/s
hope this helps!
The answer to the problem b.
Answer:
The disorder in the universe is increasing with time.
Explanation:
The second law of thermodynamics states that the amount of entropy in the universe increases over time. Entropy expresses the number of different configurations that a system defined by macroscopic variables could assume. Therefore, is can be interpreted as a measure of the disorder, or randomness of a system.
