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.

Brazing, Soldering and Adhesive Bonding are the types of • Liquid Solid System Welding Solid State Welding • Fusion Welding . No
olga_2 [115]

Answer: Solid state welding

Explanation: Solid state welding is the welding procedure which is based on the temperatures and pressure but without any liquid or vapor as aid for welding.This process is carried mainly cohesive forces and considering forces as less important. Brazing,soldering and adhesive is the process in which material are joint which the help of solid welding agent.Thus solid state welding is the correct option.

At the instant under consideration, the hydraulic cylinder AB has a length L = 0.75 m, and this length is momentarily increasing
Inessa [10]

Answer:

vB = - 0.176 m/s   (↓-)

Explanation:

Given

(AB) = 0.75 m

(AB)' = 0.2 m/s

vA = 0.6 m/s

θ = 35°

vB = ?

We use the formulas

Sin θ = Sin 35° = (OA)/(AB) ⇒  (OA) = Sin 35°*(AB)

⇒   (OA) = Sin 35°*(0.75 m) = 0.43 m

Cos θ = Cos 35° = (OB)/(AB) ⇒  (OB) = Cos 35°*(AB)

⇒   (OB) = Cos 35°*(0.75 m) = 0.614 m

We apply Pythagoras' theorem as follows

(AB)² = (OA)² + (OB)²

We derive the equation

2*(AB)*(AB)' = 2*(OA)*vA + 2*(OB)*vB

⇒  (AB)*(AB)' = (OA)*vA + (OB)*vB

⇒  vB = ((AB)*(AB)' - (OA)*vA) / (OB)

then we have

⇒  vB = ((0.75 m)*(0.2 m/s) - (0.43 m)*(0.6 m/s) / (0.614 m)

⇒  vB = - 0.176 m/s   (↓-)
