A car at the top of a ramp starts from rest and rolls to the bottom of the ramp, achieving a certain final speed. If you instead
zimovet [89]

Answer:

It must be 4 times high.

Explanation:

  • Assuming that the car can be treated as a point mass, and that the ramp is frictionless, the total mechanical energy must be conserved.
  • This means, that at any time, the following must be true:
  • ΔK (change in kinetic energy) = ΔU (change in gravitational potential energy)

⇒      m*g*h = \frac{1}{2} * m*v^{2}

  • Let's call v₁, to the final speed of the car, and h₁ to the height of the ramp.

       So, at the bottom of the ramp, all the gravitational potential energy

      must be equal to the kinetic energy of the car (Defining the bottom of

      the ramp as our zero reference for the gravitational potential energy):

       m*g*h_{1}  = \frac{1}{2} * m*v_{1} ^{2}  (1)

  • Now, let's do v₂ = 2* v₁
  • Replacing in (1) we get:

        m*g*h_{2}  = \frac{1}{2} * m*(2*v_{1}) ^{2} (2)

  • Dividing (2) by (1), and rearranging terms, we get:
  • h₂ = 4* h₁

In the design of a supermarket, there are to be several ramps connecting different parts of the store. Customers will have to pu
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

3.90 degrees

Explanation:

Let g= 9.81 m/s2. The gravity of the 30kg grocery cart is

W = mg = 30*9.81 = 294.3 N

This gravity is split into 2 components on the ramp, 1 parallel and the other perpendicular to the ramp.

We can calculate the parallel one since it's the one that affects the force required to push up

F = WsinΘ

Since customer would not complain if the force is no more than 20N

F = 20

294.3sin\theta = 20

sin\theta = 20/294.3 = 0.068

\theta = sin^{-1}0.068 = 0.068 rad = 0.068*180/\pi \approx 3.90^0

So the ramp cannot be larger than 3.9 degrees

"If you double the wavelength of a wave on a particular string", what happens to the wave speed v and the frequency f ? (i) v do
nadezda [96]

Answer:

v doubles and f is unchanged

Explanation:

According to the formula v = f¶

Where v is the velocity of the wave

f is the frequency

¶ is the wavelength

Velocity is directly proportional to wavelength. Direct proportionality shows that increase in velocity will cause an increase in the wavelength and decrease in velocity will also cause a decrease in wavelength with the frequency not changing since the velocity and wavelength are both increasing and decreasing at the same rate.

According to the question, if the wavelength is doubled, the velocity (v) will also double while the frequency (f) remains unchanged.
