Suppose that you and two classmates are discussing the design of a roller coaster. One classmate says that each summit must be l

ower than the preceding one. Your other classmate says this is nonsense, for as long as the first one is the highest, it doesn’t matter what height the others are. What do you say

Answer:

The second classmate is right.

Explanation:

The height of first summit provides the potential energy it will use to climb the following ones.

Ep = m * g * h

Where

m: mass

g: acceleration of gravity

h: height

When the train goes downwards the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (manifested as speed) and when it climbs it consumes its kinetical energy. As long as no summit is taller than the first the train should have enough energy to climb them.

Also it must be noted that friction also consumes energy, and if the track is too lomg all the energy might be consumed by it.

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Both Technician A and B are correct

Explanation:

Due to a contamination of the clutch disc friction surface, the clutch chatters

The contamination that causes clutch chattering includes

1) Worn or broken motor mounts

2) Bell housing bolts becoming loose

3) Clutch link damage

4) Warped flywheel, due to overheating, the flywheel can become warped such that the non uniform surface interfaces the clutch resulting in clutch chattering

5) Engine or transmission oil contaminating the disc.

It is said that Archimedes discovered his principle during a bath while thinking about how he could determine if King Hiero’s cr

Answer: The crown is not made of pure gold.

Explanation:

Archimedes discovered that any solid, of any shape, when submerged in a liquid receives an upward force, equal to the weight of the volume of the liquid removed by the solid, which is equal to the solid volume.

So, if any body is weighed in air, the normal force will be equal to the gravity force (which we call weight) which can be expressed as follows:

Fg = m g = δ V g = 34.7 N

When submerged in water, the normal force is equal to the difference between the actual weight, and the upward force due to Archimedes' principle, called buoyant force, as follows:

Fn = Fg - Ep = δx. V. g - δH20 . V. g = 31.5 N

Dividing Fg between Fn, and simplifying common terms, we have:

δx / (δx - δh20) = 34.7 / 31.5 = 1.10

Solving for δx, we get the following value:

δx = 11,000 Kg/m3, less dense than pure gold, so we can conclude that the crown was not made of pure gold.
