A prime example is a rollercoaster. As the rollercoaster goes up the hill it has a ton of potential energy and as it falls it is turned into kinetic energy which keeps the coaster moving.

A ball rolls of a cliff and when it lands has a vertical velocity 35 ms ^-1. how high was the cliff?
Licemer1 [7]
Using V²=u² +2gH
let's assume the ball falls from rest, then it's initial velocity = 0ms-¹ (U=0)
then from the above info V= 35ms-¹
g= 10ms-² (value of acceleration due to gravity to the nearest tens)

so input your values above into the given formula to find height
35² = 0² +2×10×H
1225 = 20H
H = 1225÷20 = 61.25m

1. A wheel has a radius of 4.1 m. How far (path length) does a point on the wheel travel if the wheel is rotated through angles
Olin [163]

Answer:

<em>a) 2.15 m</em>

<em>b) 123 m</em>

<em>c) 772.8 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Circular Motion</u>

One point located at a distance r from the center of rotation travels a distance L given by the arc length :

L= \theta r

Where \theta is the angle formed during the rotation.

The wheel described in the question has a radius r=4.1 m and a point on the wheel rotates some angles given in each part:

a) \theta=30^o=30\cdot \pi / 180=\pi/6 \ rad

Calculating L

L= \pi/6 \cdot 4.1=2.15 \ m

b) \theta=30\ rad

L= 30 \cdot 4.1=123 \ m

c) \theta = 30\ revolutions = 30\cdot 2\pi\ rad=60\pi \ rad

L= 60\pi \cdot 4.1=772.8 \ m

In a certain process, the energy of the system decreases by 250 kJkJ. The process involves 480 kJkJ of work done on the system.
BigorU [14]

Answer:

-730KJ

Explanation:

According to the first law of thermodynamics;

Let the total energy of the system be ∆E

Let heat be q and let work the w

Since the energy decreases ∆E is negative

Since work is done on the system w= positive

So;

- 250 = 480 + q

q = -250 - 480

q=-730KJ

1. An electron (Q=16x10^-20 C, m=1x10^-30 kg) moving at half a megameter per second up the page enters a region with a uniform m
jek_recluse [69]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge on electron, q=16\times 10^{-20}\ C

Mass of the electron, m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg  

Speed of the electron, v=0.5\ Mm/s=0.5\times 10^6\ m/s            

Magnetic field, B = 1 T (directed out of the page)

Let F is the magnetic force acting on the electron. It is given by :

F=qvB\ sin\theta

Here, \theta=90^{\circ}

F=qvB    

F=16\times 10^{-20}\ C\times 0.5\times 10^6\ m/s\times 1\ T  

F=8\times 10^{-14}\ N

Using the right hand rule, the direction of magnetic force is upward to the plane of the paper. Also, the electron will follow the circular path.  It is given by :

r=\dfrac{mv}{qB}

r=\dfrac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg\times 0.5\times 10^6\ m/s}{16\times 10^{-20}\ C\times 1\ T}

r=2.84\times 10^{-6}\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.
