We know the equation
weight = mass × gravity
To work out the weight on the moon, we will need its mass, and the gravitational field strength of the moon.
Remember that your weight can change, but mass stays constant.
So using the information given about the earth weight, we can find the mass by substituting 100N for weight, and we know the gravity on earth is 10Nm*2 (Use the gravitational field strength provided by your school, I am assuming yours in 10Nm*2)
Therefore,
100N = mass × 10
mass= 100N/10
mass= 10 kg
Now, all we need are the moon's gravitational field strength and to apply this to the equation
weight = 10kg × (gravity on moon)
Friction
Friction also affects the movement of an object on a slope. Friction is a force that offers resistance to movement when one object is in contact with another. Imagine now that you were on the downside of the object and applying force to keep the object in the same place (not moving)
Answer:
The answer to the question is
The roller coaster will reach point B with a speed of 14.72 m/s
Explanation:
Considering both kinetic energy KE = 1/2×m×v² and potential energy PE = m×g×h
Where m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
h = starting height of the roller coaster
we have the given variables
h₁ = 36 m,
h₂ = 13 m,
h₃ = 30 m
v₁ = 1.00 m/s
Total energy at point 1 = 0.5·m·v₁² + m·g·h₁
= 0.5 m×1² + m×9.81×36
=353.66·m
Total energy at point 2 = 0.5·m·v₂² + m·g·h₂
= 0.5×m×v₂² + 9.81 × 13 × m = 0.5·m·v₂² + 127.53·m
The total energy at 1 and 2 are not equal due to the frictional force which must be considered
Total energy at point 2 = Total energy at point 1 + work done against friction
Friction work = F×d×cosθ = (
× mg)×60×cos 180 = -117.72m
0.5·m·v₂² + 127.53·m = 353.66·m -117.72m
0.5·m·v₂² = 108.41×m
v₂² = 216.82
v₂ = 14.72 m/s
The roller coaster will reach point B with a speed of 14.72 m/s
Answer:
About 66 miles per hour
Explanation:
Based on the information given we can assume the car traveled the same number of miles every hour meaning all we need to do is divide.
400/6 ≈ 66 miles per hour
Answer:
Explanation:
s = s₀ + v₀t + ½at²
s = 0 + 0(15) + ½(6)(15²)
s = 675 m
Not sure what the free fall acceleration is needed for, but if the object is dropped from a high enough point, it will travel in 15 seconds
s = ½10(15²) = 2250 m if air resistance is ignored
