An engineer wishes to design a roller coaster so that
nataly862011 [7]

To prevent cars from falling, the radius at the top of the circle should be

small such cars inverted at the top remain attached during motion.

Correct response;

The radius of the coaster can be <u>C) 20 m</u>

<h3>Method by which the above option is selected</h3>

Mass of roller coaster car, m = 500 kg

Speed at the top of the circle, v = 20 m/s

Required:

The maximum radius of the circular path the roller coaster car.

Solution:

\displaystyle Centrifugal \ force, \, F_{c} = \mathbf{\frac{m \cdot v^2}{r}}

Where;

r = The radius of the circular path.

Weight of the roller coaster car = m·g = The centripetal force

Where;

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

At equilibrium, we have;

Centrifugal force = Centripetal force

\displaystyle \frac{m \cdot v^2}{r}  = \mathbf{ m \cdot g}

Therefore;

\displaystyle r = \mathbf{ \frac{v^2}{g}}

Which gives;

\displaystyle r = \frac{20^2}{9.81} \approx 40.77

The maximum radius for safety of a roller coaster, r ≈ 40.77 meters

\displaystyle Range \ of \ radius \ of \ the \ circle = \frac{40.77}{4}  \leq Radius \ of \ circle \leq 40.77

Which gives;

Range of the radius of the circle = 10.2 ≤ Radius of circle ≤ 40.77

The correct option for safety considerations is therefore;

  • <u>C) 20 m</u>

<em>The possible question options are;</em>

<em>A) 5 m  B) 10 m  C) 20 m  D) 40 m  E) 80 m</em>

Anthony is deciding between different savings accounts at his bank. He has four options, based on how frequently interest compou
77julia77 [94]
So annual compounding means that the account is compound once a year, semi-annual is 2 times a year, monthly compounded is every month (so 12 times a year). and daily is every day (so 365 times a year). If he wants the best rate of return on his interest, or the most money, he should choose daily compounding because his funds are being compounded every day.

Diffusion and osmosis are forms of passive transport.<br><br> True<br> False
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

True. Diffusion and osmosis are forms of passive transport.

Explanation:

In diffusion, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached.

In osmosis, a semipermeable membrane is present, so only the solvent molecules are free to move to equalize concentration.
