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

¡¡first convert revolutions per second to
katovenus [111]

Answer:

a. 5.23 m/s² b. 44.23 N

Explanation:

a. What is the centripetal acceleration of the  hammer?  

The centripetal acceleration a = rω² where r = radius of circle and ω = angular speed.

Now r = length of chain = 1.4 m and ω = 0.595 rev/s = 0.595 × 2π/s = 3.74 rad/s.

So a = rω²

= 1.4 m × (3.74 rad/s)²

= 5.23 m/s²

b. What is the tension in the chain?

The tension in the chain, T = ma where m = mass of hammer = 8.45 kg and a = centripetal acceleration of hammer = 5.23 m/s². This tension is the centripetal force on the hammer.

So, T = 8.45 kg × 5.23 m/s²

= 44.23 N

What is resistivity?​
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Resistivity, electrical resistance of a conductor of unit cross-sectional area and unit length.

Explanation:

A characteristic property of each material, resistivity is useful in comparing various materials on the basis of their ability to conduct electric currents. High resistivity designates poor conductors.

What type of evidence is needed for a hypothesis to be supported or not supported?
NISA [10]

Answer:

Hypotheses must be testable, and once tested, they can be supported by evidence. If a statement is made that cannot be tested and disproved, then it is not a hypothesis.
