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

If the time of impact in a collision is extended by 3 times, by hour much is
vodomira [7]

Answer:

The force of the impact would be smaller

Explanation:                                                          Examples:

If the force is big then the time would be small (2500N of Force = 10 seconds)

If the force is small then the time would be big (250N of Force = 50 seconds)

Block B (of mass m) is initially at rest. Block A (of mass 3m) travels toward B with an initial speed v0 (vee nought) and collid
NeTakaya

Answer:

The maximum height reached by the two blocks is approximately 0.1147959 × v₀²

Explanation:

The mass of block B = m

The mass of block A = 3·m

The initial velocity of block B, v₂ = 0 m/s

The initial velocity of block A, v₁ = v₀

The amount of friction between the blocks and the surface = Negligible friction

By the Law of conservation of linear momentum, we have;

Total initial momentum = Total final momentum

3·m·v₁ + m·v₂ = (3·m + m)·v₃ = 4·m·v₃

Plugging in the values for the velocities gives;

3·m × v₀ + m × 0 = (3·m + m)·v₃ = 4·m·v₃

∴ 3·m × v₀ =  4·m·v₃

\therefore v_3 = \dfrac{3}{4} \times v_0 = 0.75 \times v_0

The kinetic energy, K.E. of the combined blocks after the collision is given as follows;

K.E. = 1/2 × mass × v²

\therefore K.E. = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 4\cdot m \times \left (\dfrac{3}{4} \cdot v_0 \right )^2 = \dfrac{9}{8} \cdot m\cdot v_0^2

The potential energy, P.E., gained by the two blocks at maximum height = The kinetic energy, K.E., of the two blocks before moving vertically upwards

The potential energy, P.E. = m·g·h

Where;

m = The mass of the object at the given height

g = The acceleration due to gravity

h = The height at which the object of mass, 'm', is located

Therefore, for h = The maximum height reached by the two blocks, we have;

P.E. = K.E.

m \cdot g \cdot h =  \dfrac{9}{8} \cdot m\cdot v_0^2

h = \dfrac{\dfrac{9}{8} \cdot m\cdot v_0^2}{m \cdot g }  = \dfrac{9}{8} \cdot \dfrac{ v_0^2}{ g }  =  \dfrac{9}{8} \cdot \dfrac{ v_0^2}{ 9.8} = \dfrac{42}{392} \cdot  v_0^2 \approx 0.1147959   \cdot  v_0^2

The maximum height reached by the two blocks, h ≈ 0.1147959·v₀².
