What happens to the kinetic energy of a roller coaster as it approaches its lowest point and loses its potential energy?
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

At the top of the roller coaster, there is a lot of potential energy. When it comes to the bottom, the roller coaster loses its potential energy and gains kinetic energy as it is going very fast here.

A car is traveling at 30 m/s in a straight line. The drive applies the brakes for 3 seconds and the car slows down to 12 m/s. Wh
jeyben [28]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: -6m/s²

Explanation:

Data

vo = 30 m/s

vf = 12 m/s

t = 3 s

a = ?

Formula

vf = vo + at

a = (vt - vo) / t

Process

                a = (12 - 30) / 3                substitution

                a = -18 / 3                         simplify

                a = -6 m/s²                        result, is negative because the car

                                                          is slowing down.

Kieran takes off from rest down a 50 m high, 10° slope on his jet-powered skis. The skis have a thrust of 280 N parallel to the
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:0.46

Explanation:

Given

Initial height h=50 m

inclination \theta =10^{\circ}

Thrust=280 N

combined mass of kieran and skis m=50 kg

Speed at the bottom v=40 m/s

From Work Energy Theorem

Work done by all the force is equal to change in kinetic Energy

W_{gravity}+W_{friction}+W_{thrust}=\frac{1}{2}mv^2-0------------1

distance traveled along the slope x=\frac{50}{\sin 10}=287.93 m

W_{gravity}=mgh=50\times 9.8\times 50=24500 J

W_{thrust}=F\times x=280\times 287.93=80,620.4 J

W_{friction}=-\mu mg\cos 10

substitute in 1

24,500+80,620.4+W_{friction}=\frac{1}{2}\times 50\times 1600

W_{friction}=40,000-24,500-80,620.4

-\mu \cdot 50\times 9.8\times 287.93=-65,120.4

\mu =\frac{65,120.4}{141,085.7}=0.46

At the top of a giant swing on the gymnastics high bar, candy's velocity is 1 m/s, and she is 3.5 m high. if candy's mass is 50
Allushta [10]
The total mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic energy and the gravitational potential energy:
E=K+U= \frac{1}{2}mv^2 +mgh
where m=3.5 kg is Candy's mass, v=1 m/s is her velocity and h=3.5 m is her height. If we replace these numbers, we find the mechanical energy of the system:
E= \frac{1}{2} (50 kg)(1m/s)^2 + (50 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(3.5 m)=1742 J =1.74 kJ

How does a blue object look under all colors of light
OverLord2011 [107]
The "blue" object would look the same. Say that this blue object is a square. That "square" is every color but blue. The only reason that you see it as "blue" is because what we call "blue", it the only color of light that bounces back at our eyes. Under all colors of light, especially simultaneously. This square or any shape for that matter would absorb the other colors of light, but the blue will be rejected. Therefore, we can only see what bounces back at our eyes, which is the color blue in this case. 

Hope this helps, WyattMarine501
