A roller coaster's highest hill is always the first one. This is because friction pulls energy out of the coaster as it moves al

ong a track. If the highest hill of a particular roller coaster is 16 m, and the if the coaster comes to rest at the top of the final hill which is 7 m tall. How much energy was lost due to friction along the way? The roller coaster has a mass of 172 kg.

Answer:

15186 J energy lost due to friction

Explanation:

Given:

- Height of the tallest hill (first) h_1 = 16 m

- Height of the last hill h_2 = 7 m

- Velocity @tallest hill = 0

- Velocity @last hill = 0

Find:

How much energy was lost due to friction can be determined from an energy balance at point on top of tallest hill and on top of last hill:

                         E_p,1 + E_k,1 = E_p,2 + E_k,2 + E_f

Where, E_k,1 = E_k,2 = 0

                                  E_p,1 - E_p,2 = E_f

                                 E_f = m*g*(h_1 - h_2)

                                 E_f = 172*9.81*(16 - 7)

                                    E_f = 15186 J

What is mean by the net displacement in transverse wave
natta225 [31]
In a transverse wave, the particles are disturbed in a direction perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Thus, waves travel through a medium with no net displacement of the distance between two successive particles of wave that are in wavelength.

Which of the following statements describes a battery?
LiRa [457]

Answer:

The negative electrode of a battery has an excess of positive charge

Explanation:

This is because in every battery, there is a negative electrode ( cathode ) and only positive charge is deposited on it.

For other statements:

Batteries donot store electric charge but they store chemical energy

Some batteries donot use metals for the flow of electrons, but some use hydrogen gas at a pressure of 1 atmosphere.
