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

A record player turntable initially rotating at 3313 rev/min is braked to a stop at a constant rotational acceleration. The turn

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

(A) It will take 22 sec to come in rest

(b) Work done for coming in rest will be 0.2131 J

Explanation:

We have given the player turntable initially rotating at speed of $33\frac{1}{3}rpm=33.333rpm=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 33.333}{60}=3.49rad/sec$

Now speed is reduced by 75 %

So final speed $\frac{3.49\times 75}{100}=2.6175rad/sec$

Time t = 5.5 sec

From first equation of motion we know that '

$\alpha =\frac{\omega -\omega _0}{t}=\frac{2.6175-3.49}{4}=-0.158rad/sec^2$

(a) Now final velocity $\omega =0rad/sec$

So time t to come in rest $t=\frac{0-3.49}{-0.158}=22sec$

(b) The work done in coming rest is given by

$\frac{1}{2}I\left ( \omega ^2-\omega _0^2 \right )=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.035\times (0^2-3.49^2)=0.2131J$

Can someone tell me the answer and the reason

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

(a) the blocks all had different masses.

Explanation:

The surface is smooth, therefore coefficient of friction is tending to zero.

Forces for each blocks varied from 6N to 8N to 7N to 5N

The blocks were made of different materials and different materials are going to have varying weight for the same size of block.

Answer:

Ok, her position changed over time since the road is curved.

The velocity changed since the direction is changing

AccelerTion: theres a change in velocity since the direction changes

Direction: changed over time

Displacement : difference between 1st and final position
