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 car is moving with an initial relocity of
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The final acceleration of the car, v = 70 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The initial velocity of the car, u = 20 m/s

The acceleration of the car, a = 10 m/s²

The time period of travel, t = 5 s

Using the I equations of motion

                     v = u + at

                        = 20 + 10(5)

                        = 20 + 50

                        = 70 m/s

Hence, the final acceleration of the car, v = 70 m/s

Express the distance between the moon and earth in meters with a meter prefix (km).
tankabanditka [31]

Answer;

= 3.86 × 10^8 Meters

Explanation;

-The distance between the Earth and the moon is 386000 km

But; 1 km = 1000 m

Therefore; 386000 km will be equivalent to;

= 386000 × 1000

= 386000000 m

= 3.86 × 10^8 meters

A rectangular copper strip 1.5cm wide and 0.10cn thick carries a current of 5.0A. Find the Hall voltage for a 1.2T magnetic fiel
Scrat [10]

Answer:

4.4345× 10^-7V

Explanation:

The computation of the half voltage for a 1.2T magnetic field applied is shown below

The volume of one mole of copper is

v = m ÷p

= 63.5 ÷ 8.92

= 7.12cm

Now the density of free electrons in copper is

n = Na ÷ V

= 6.02 × 10^23 ÷ 7.12

= 8.456× 10^28/m^3

Now the half voltage is

= IB ÷ nqt

= (5 × 1.20) ÷ (8.456× 10^28 × 1.6 × 10^-19 × 0.1× 10^-2)

= 4.4345× 10^-7V
