Calculate the potential energy at the top of the giant drop if the car weights 1000 kg

1 answer:

6 0

The gravitional potential energy, relative to the bottom of the giant drop, in joules, is (9800) times (the height of the drop in meters). That's the PE of the empty car only, not counting any hapless screaming souls who may be trapped in it at that moment.

Answer:

18.03 s

Explanation:

We have two different types of motions, the criminal moves with uniform motion while the police do it with uniformly accelerated motion. Therefore we will use the equations of these cases. We know that by the time the police reach the criminal they will have traveled the same distance.

$x=vt\\x=x_{0}+v_{0}t+\frac{a}{2}t^2$

The distance between the police and the criminal when the first one starts the persecution is 0, its initial speed is also zero. So:

$x=(55m/s)t\\x=\frac{6.1m/s^2}{2}t^2=(3.05m/s^2)t^2$

Equalizing these two equations and solving for t:

$(55m/s)t=(3.05m/s^2)t^2\\(3.05m/s^2)t^2-(55m/s)t=0\\t((3.05m/s^2)t-55m/s)=0\\t=0 \\(3.05m/s^2)t-55m/s=0\\t=\frac{55m/s}{3.05m/s^2}=18.03 s$

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

$\frac{t_1}{t_2} = \frac{sin\theta_1}{sin\theta_2}$

Explanation:

The vertical component of the initial velocities are

$v_v = v_0sin\theta$

If we ignore air resistance, and let g = -9.81 m/s2. The the time it takes for the projectiles to travel, vertically speaking, can be calculated in the following motion equation

$v_vt - gt^2/2 = s = 0$

$t(v_v - gt/2) = 0$

$v_v - gt/2 = 0$

$t = 2v_v/g = 2v_0sin\theta/g$

So the ratio of the times of the flights is

$t_1 / t_2 = \frac{2v_0sin\theta_1/g}{2v_0sin\theta_2/g} = \frac{sin\theta_1}{sin\theta_2}$

Positive feedback interactions in earth’s systems are always a result of human action. T/F

VLD [36.1K]

Positive feedback interactions in earth’s systems are always a result of human action is a FALSE statement.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Earth is a unstable equilibrium which tends to move out of equilibrium, but several other factors try to bring it back in equilibrium again. Earth has a different actions going on both on its surface and also inside it.

Human can alter, or can modify a very small part of the events that occur on earth’s surface. But they don’t have any control on what’s going inside earth’s core. So positive feedback interactions are not only the results of human interaction, but also different other factors.
