Answer:

Kinetic energy is what makes the object move. Many rides use the transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy to move along the track. When the roller coaster moves downwards, kinetic energy is generated. The maximum kinetic energy generated is when the roller coaster is at the bottom of the track.

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

F₁ = 1500 N

F₂ = 750 N

$F_{e}$ = 500 N

Explanation:

Given :

Power transmission, P = 7.5 kW

= 7.5 x 1000 W

= 7500 W

Belt velocity, V = 10 m/s

F₁ = 2 F₂

Now we know from power transmission equation

P = ( F₁ - F₂ ) x V

7500 = ( F₁ - F₂ ) x 10

750 = F₁ - F₂

750 = 2 F₂ - F₂ ( ∵F₁ = 2 F₂ )

∴F₂ = 750 N

Now F₁ = 2 F₂

F₁ = 2 x F₂

F₁ = 2 x 750

F₁ = 1500 N , this is the maximum force.

Therefore we know,

$F_{max}$ = 3 x $F_{e}$

where $F_{e}$ is centrifugal force

$F_{e}$ = $F_{max}$ / 3

= 1500 / 3

= 500 N

Some cars have an FCW, which stands for

Natalka [10]

Answer:

FCW in car stands for Forward Collision Warning. 

Explanation:

The vehicle speed is monitored by FCW system, this is an advanced technology which indicates to the rear vehicle that a crash is going to happen if the vehicle gets close because of speed. This FCW systems monitor’s distance between the vehicles and speed of the vehicles.

FCW system do not control the vehicle completely. This system consists of sensors to detect stationary or slower-moving vehicles. A signal alerts the driver if the distance between the vehicles is less so that crash is being happened. It helps driver from crash by changing his route. Cars with this technology consists of audible alert.
