You have been hired to design a spring-launched roller coaster that will carry two passengers per car. The car goes up a 12-m-hi

gh hill, then descends 18 m to the track's lowest point. You've determined that the spring can be compressed a maximum of 2.3 m and that a loaded car will have a maximum mass of 430 kg . For safety reasons, the spring constant should be 13 % larger than the minimum needed for the car to just make it over the top.
a) what spring constant (k) should you specify ?b) What is the maximum speed of a 350 kg car if the spring iscompressed the full amount.

Answer:

Vmax=11.53 m/s

Explanation:

from conservation of energy

      E_A} =E_{B}

     Spring potential energy =potential energy due to elevation

   0.5*k*x²= mg(h_{B}-h_{A} )=mgh

   0.5*k*2.3²= 430*9.81*6

         k=9568.92 N/m

For safety reason

                                 k"=1.13 *k= 1.13*9568.92

                                    k"=10812.88 N/m

agsin from conservation of energy

      E_A} =E_{C}

    spring potential energy=change in kinetic energy

   0.5*k"*x²=0.5*m*V_{max}^{2}

      10812.88 *2.3²=430*V_{max}^{2}

           V_{max}=11.53 m/s

A hiker walks 200 m west and then walks 100 m north. In what direction is her resulting displacement?a. northb. westc. northwest
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Assuming that the hiker starts walking from the origin O as shown in the figure.

First, he walks 200 m west to point A (say), then he walks 100 m north to the final point B (say) as shown in the figure.

The final point B is in the north-west direction, therefore, the resulting point is in the north-west direction.

Hence, option (C) is correct.

the density of dry air at 20 degrees celsius is 1.20 g/L. What is the mass of air, in kilograms, of a room that measures 24.0m b
horsena [70]
<h2>Mass of air in a room that measures 24.0 m by 15.0 m by 4.0 m is 1728 kg.</h2>

Explanation:

Density of air = 1.20 g/L = \frac{1.20\times 10^{-3}kg}{10^{-3}m^3}=1.2kg/m^3

Size of room is 24.0m by 15.0 m by 4.0 m

Volume of room = 24 x 15 x 4 = 1440 m³

We know the equation

            Mass = Volume x Density

            Mass = 1440 x 1.2

            Mass = 1728 kg  

Mass of air in a room that measures 24.0 m by 15.0 m by 4.0 m is 1728 kg.
