A roller coaster at the Six Flags Great America amusement park in Gurnee, Illinois, incorporates some clever design technology a

nd some basic physics. Each vertical loop, instead of being circular, is shaped like a teardrop. The cars ride on the inside of the loop at the top, and the speeds are fast enough to ensure that the cars remain on the track. The biggest loop is 40.0 m high. Suppose the speed at the top is 10.8 m/s and the corresponding centripetal acceleration is 2g. (a) What is the radius of the arc of the teardrop at the top

Answer:

5.95 m

Explanation:

Given that the biggest loop is 40.0 m high. Suppose the speed at the top is 10.8 m/s and the corresponding centripetal acceleration is 2g

For the car to stick to the loop without falling down, at the top of the ride, the centripetal force must be equal to the weight of the car. That is,

(MV^2) / r = mg

V^2/ r = centripetal acceleration which is equal to 2g

2 × 9.8 = 10.8^2 / r

r = 116.64 /19.6

r = 5.95 m

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The layer below the lithosphere , the upper layer of the mantle of the earth with high heat pressure .It is made up of almost solid rocks but also flows not which indicates that it consist of viscoelastic fluid of molten rocks.This is because in some regions there can be presence of molten rocks.

Car B has the same mass as Car A but is going twice as fast. If the same constant force brings both cars to a stop, how far will
evablogger [386]

Answer:four times

Explanation:

Given

mass of both cars A and B are same suppose m

but velocity of car B is same as of car A

Suppose velocity of car A is u

Velocity of car B is 2 u

A constant force is applied on both the cars such that they come to rest by travelling certain distance

using  to find the distance traveled

where, v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration(offered by force)

s=displacement

final velocity is zero

For car A

0-(u)^2=2\times a\times s

s_a=\frac{u^2}{2a}------1

For car B

0-(2u)^2=2\times a\times s_b

s_b=\frac{4u^2}{2a}----2

divide 1 and 2 we get

\frac{s_a}{s_b}=\frac{1}{4}

thus s_b=4\cdot s_a

distance traveled by car B is four time of car A
