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.

A sample contains radioactive atoms of two types, A and B. Initially there are five times as many A atoms as there are B atoms.
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initially no of atoms of A = N₀(A)

Initially no of atoms of B = N₀(B)

5 X N₀(A)  = N₀(B)

N = N₀ e^{-\lambda t}

N is no of atoms after time t , λ is decay constant and t is time .

For A

N(A) = N(A)₀ e^{-\lambda_1 t}

For B

N(B) = N(B)₀ e^{-\lambda_2 t}

N(A) = N(B) , for t = 2 h

N(A)₀ e^{-\lambda_1 t} = N(B)₀ e^{-\lambda_2 t}

N(A)₀ e^{-\lambda_1 t} = 5 x N₀(A)  e^{-\lambda_2 t}

e^{-\lambda_1 t} = 5  e^{-\lambda_2 t}

e^{\lambda_2 t} = 5  e^{\lambda_1 t}

half life = .693 / λ

For A

.77 =  .693 / λ₁

λ₁ = .9 h⁻¹

e^{\lambda_2 t} = 5  e^{\lambda_1 t}

Putting t = 2 h , λ₁ = .9 h⁻¹

e^{\lambda_2\times  2} = 5  e^{.9\times  2}

e^{\lambda_2\times  2} = 30.25

2 x λ₂ = 3.41

λ₂ = 1.7047

Half life of B = .693 / 1.7047

= .4065 hours .

= .41 hours .

A point charge is released from rest in a region containing an electric field. The charge will start to move
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

b) in a direction that makes its potential energy decrease.

Explanation:

  • As the electric field has the direction that would take a positive test charge under its sole influence, the positive test charge, will have an increase in its kinetic energy.
  • Due to the conservation of energy, in absence of non-conservative forces, this increment must be equal and opposite  to the  change in electric potential energy, which will be always negative, independent of the sign of the charge.

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

A) The acceleration is zero

<em>B) The total distance is 112 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Velocity vs Time Graph</u>

It shows the behavior of the velocity as time increases. If the velocity increases, then the acceleration is positive, if the velocity decreases, the acceleration is negative, and if the velocity is constant, then the acceleration is zero.

The graph shows a horizontal line between points A and B. It means the velocity didn't change in that interval. Thus the acceleration in that zone is zero.

A. To calculate the acceleration, we use the formula:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_2-v_1}{t_2-t_1}

Let's pick the extremes of the region AB: (0,8) and (12,8). The acceleration is:

\displaystyle a=\frac{8-8}{12-0}=0

This confirms the previous conclusion.

B. The distance covered by the body can be calculated as the area behind the graph. Since the velocity behaves differently after t=12 s, we'll split the total area into a rectangle and a triangle.

Area of rectangle= base*height=12 s * 8 m/s = 96 m

Area of triangle= base*height/2 = 4 s * 8 m/s /2= 16 m

The total distance is: 96 m + 16 m = 112 m
