Answer:

(a)v2 = 16m/s at point B

(b) F = 1.49×10⁴N.

Explanation:

Given m = 350kg

At A, h = 25m

At B h = 12m

(a) We are required to calculate the speed at this point, B.

This problem involves the application of the concept of conservation of mechanical energy for its solution since gravity is the only force doing work on the system.

So for this system,

ΔKE = – ΔPE

1/2×m(v2²– v1²) =– mg(h2 – h1)

From the diagram, g

h2 = 12m, h1 = 25m. From the question it was stated that the car starts from rest so v1 = 0m/s

In the above equation m is common to both sides so they cancel out. So,

1/2×(v2²– 0²) = – g(12 – 25)

1/2v2² = 13g

V2² = 2 ×13g = 26×9.80

v2 ² = 254.8

v2 = √254.8 = 15.96m/s ≈ 16m/s.

Energy concepts have been used to solve this problem. In this approach only the start and end points are taking into consideration when doing analysis on any problem of this sort and not what happens in between.

(b) Ghis part is asking us to calculate the force at point B.

At point B the car is moving in a uniform circle of diameter 12m (radius 6m)

So the acceleration of the car at point B

a = v²/r

v = 16m/s, r = 6m

F = ma = m×v²/r = 350×16²/6 = 14933.33N

F = 1.49×10⁴N.

Answer:

a)Velocity of car =v=16 m/s

b)Force against the track at point B=1.15*10^{4}N

Explanation:

Given mass of roller coaster=m=350 kg

Position of A=Ha=25 m

Position of B=Hb=12 m

Net potential energy=mg(ha-hb)

Net potential energy=(350)(9.80)(25-12)

Net potential energy=44590 J

Using energy conservation

net kinetic energy=net potential energy

(1/2)mv^2=mg(ha-hb)

m=350

velocity=v=16 m/s

b)There two force acting,centripetal force upward and gravity downward.

Thus net force acting will be

Net force=(mv^2/r)-mg

Net force=14933.33-3430

Net force=1.15*10^{4} N

A car is going 8 meters per second on an access road into a highway
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

20.96 m/s^2 (or 21)

Explanation:

Using the formula (final velocity - initial velocity)/time = acceleration, we can plug in values and manipulate the problem to give us the answer.

At first, we know a car is going 8 m/s, that is its initial velocity.

Then, we know the acceleration, which is 1.8 m/s/s

We also know the time, 7.2 second.

Plugging all of these values in shows us that we need to solve for final velocity. We can do so by manipulating the formula.

(final velocity - initial velocity) = time * acceleration

final velocity = time*acceleration + initial velocity

After plugging the found values in, we get 20.96 m/s/s, or 21 m/s

At what point will the electric field of a charged object be strongest?
maks197457 [2]
The electric field of a charged object will be strongest when all the field lines are close to one another.

beacsue, the strength of electric field depends on the number of lines of electric field. More lines at a place, higher the electric field strength. Thus, any charge in that area will face more electric field.
