Explain why the roller coaster’s potential energy is greater at point 1 than at point 4.

Potential energy is directly related to the height of an object. Point 1 is higher than point 4, so the potential energy is greater at point 1.

The most probable answer would be Point 1 is higher than Point 4.


Potential gravitational energy is computed by the formula:


PEgrav =mgh

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity (this is a constant value of 9.8m/s²)

h = height


The roller coaster of course, no matter where in the track it is would have the same mass (Unless someone falls off -_-) Pull of gravity is the same as well.


So the only factor that would affect it is the height. So if the height goes up, the potential energy goes up too. If the height goes down, then the potential energy goes down too.


Hopefully you'll come up with the right answer with this. v(0-0)v

2) Why do you think fossil fueled cars are still out numbering alternative and replacement fueled cars even though fossil fuels
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Fossil-fueled cars are still outnumbering the alternative and replacement-fueled cars because they are generally cost-effective and are efficient.

Explanation:

<em>Fossil fuels</em> are non-renewable energy that cannot be replenished. Although many people know how harmful using them can be to the environment, still, people continue to buy cars that are powered by it. This is because, <em>using fossil-fueled cars can help you save money</em> compared to using<em> replacement-fueled cars.</em><em> Its engines are also more powerful,</em> which means they can arrive at their destination in just a few minutes. <u>This makes it efficient.</u> The cost of maintaining a fossil-fueled car is less expensive compared to<em> replacement-fueled cars.</em> People are naturally keen when it comes to budgeting, thus, many people still buy cars powered by fossil fuels.

ASTM A229 oil-tempered carbon steel is used for a helical coil spring. The spring is wound with D = 50 mm d = 10.0 mm, and a pit
horrorfan [7]

Answer

given,

D = 50 mm = 0.05 m

d = 10 mm = 0.01 m

Force to compress the spring

F = \dfrac{d^4G\delta}{8D^3N}

\dfrac{\delta}{N} = p - d = 14 - 10 = 4 mm

F = \dfrac{d^4G}{8D^3}\times 0.004

F = \dfrac{0.1^4\times 79\times 10^9}{8\times 0.05^3}\times 0.004

     F = 3160 N

stress correction factor from stress correction curve is equal to 1.1

now, calculation of corrected stress

\tau = \dfrac{8FDk_s}{\pi d^3}

\tau = \dfrac{8\times 3160 \times 0.05 \times 1.1}{\pi \times 0.01^3}

              = 442.6 Mpa

The tensile strength of the steel material of  ASTM A229 is equal to 1300 Mpa

now,

\tau_s \leq 0.45 S_u

\tau_s \leq 0.45 \times 1300

\tau_s \leq 585\ Mpa

since corrected stress is less than the \tau_s

hence, spring will return to its original shape.
