Answer:

50 miles/hr

Explanation:

$Distance = 100\: miles\\Time = 2\:hours\\\\Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time} \\\\Speed = \frac{100\:miles}{2\:hours}\\\\ Speed = 50\:miles/hour$

A 980 kg roller coaster cart is traveling along a track at 17 m/s before it rolls down a 30 m tall hill (Point A). What will be

MrRissso [65]

The kinetic energy halfway the hill is $2.86\cdot 10^5 J$

Explanation:

If there are no friction forces acting on the cart, we can apply the law of conservation of energy: the mechanical energy of the cart (which is the sum of potential energy + kinetic energy) must be conserved. So we can write:

$U_A +K_A = U_B + K_B$

where

$U_A=mgh_A$ is the initial potential energy, at point A, with

m = 980 kg (mass of the cart)

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ (acceleration of gravity)

$h_A = 30 m$ (height at point A)

$K_A=\frac{1}{2}mv_A^2$ is the initial kinetic energy, at point A , with

$v_A=17 m/s$ (velocity at point A)

$U_B=mgh_B$ is the final potential energy, at point B, where

$h_B = 15 m$ (height at point B)

$K_B=\frac{1}{2}mv_B^2$ is the final kinetic energy, at point B, where

$v_B$ is the velocity at point B

Here we are interested in finding $K_B$ , so by re-arranging the equation and substituting we find:

$K_B = U_A+K_B-U_B = mg(h_A-h_B)+\frac{1}{2}mv_A^2=(980)(9.8)(30-15)+\frac{1}{2}(980)(17)^2=2.86\cdot 10^5 J$

Which scientist described an atom made of a solid positively charged substance with electrons dispersed throughout it?.

swat32

The scientist that described an atom made a solid positively charged substance with electrons dispersed throughout it was: Ernest Rutherford

In 1911 Ernest Rutherford proposed his atomic model in which he considered the atom as a positively, densely charged center called a nucleus in which the electrons circulate around the core with a negative charge.

The atom is the smallest part of the composition of matter, it is indivisible and is composed of a nucleus that has protons and neutrons, and around the nucleus there are the electrons.

An elevator has a mass of 1000 Kg. What force is needed to accelerate it upward at a rate of 2 m/s/s?

zubka84 [21]

The force needed to accelerate an elevator upward at a rate of $2 m / s^{2}$ is 2000 N or 2 kN.

<u>Explanation: </u>

As per Newton's second law of motion, an object's acceleration is directly proportional to the external unbalanced force acting on it and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

As the object given here is an elevator with mass 1000 kg and the acceleration is given as $2 m / s^{2}$ , the force needed to accelerate it can be obtained by taking the product of mass and acceleration.

$\text {Force}=\text {Mass} \times \text {Acceleration}$
