You are testing a new amusement park roller coaster with an empty car with a mass of 108kg. One part of the track is a vertical

loop with a radius of 12.0m. At the bottom of the loop (pointA) the car has a speed of 25.0m/sand at the top of the loop (pointB) it has speed of 8.00m/s.As the car rolls from point A to point B, how much work is done by friction?

Answer:

-4892 J

Explanation:

The work done by friction is equal to the difference in mechanical energy of the car between the bottom of the loop (point A) and the top of the loop (point B).

The mechanical energy of the car at point A is

E_A = \frac{1}{2}mv_A^2 + mgh_A

where

m=108 kg is the mass of the car

v_A = 25.0 m/s is the speed at point A

h_A=0 is the height of the car at point A (zero because it is at the bottom of the loop)

Substituting into the equation, we find

E_A = \frac{1}{2}(108 kg)(25.0 m/s)^2 + (108 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0)=33,750J

The mechanical energy of the car at point B is

E_B = \frac{1}{2}mv_B^2 + mgh_B

where

m=108 kg is the mass of the car

v_B = 8.0 m/s is the speed at point B

h_B=24.0 m (twice the radius) is the height of the car at point B, at the top of the loop

Substituting into the equation, we find

E_B = \frac{1}{2}(108 kg)(8.0 m/s)^2 + (108 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(24.0 m)=28,858J

So, the work done by friction is

W=E_B-E_A=28,858 J-33,750 J=-4,892 J

And the work is negative because it is done against the motion of the car.

What is the value of g on the surface of saturn? assume msaturn = 5.68×1026 kg and rsaturn = 5.82×107 m?
yKpoI14uk [10]
<span>F = GMm/r^2 but we don't want force we want acceleration. F = ma combining the two ma = GMm/r^2 cancelling m from both sides a = GM/r^2 where G is the universal gravitational constant M is the mass of Saturn and r is the radius of Saturn. g(Saturn) = a = (6.67x10^-11m^3kg^-1s^-2)(5.68x10^26 kg)/(5.82x10^7m)^2 g = 11.18 m/s^2 round to 11.2 m/s^2</span>

2) Light reflects off of surfaces. It is also absorbed by opaque materials
Lunna [17]

Answer: B

White paper reflects some of the incoming waves,

while black absorbs all of the incoming waves.

Explanation:

Light is reflected off of white surfaces. Light is absorbed by opaque materials and transmitted through transparent objects. 

In the case of a white paper, a white paper can be considered as a translucent material in which some of the light incident on it bounces off while some pass through it. Therefore, we can conclude that White paper reflects some of the incoming waves,

while black absorbs all of the incoming waves.

You take a conductive wire and make loops in it, you create a _________.
BARSIC [14]

When you take a long piece of wire, form it into a coil of several loops, and run a current through it, you get a magnetic field that runs straight along the axis of the coil.

This arrangement of a conductor and the current through it is called a "<em>solenoid</em>". <em>(C) </em>
