Explain why a roller coaster’s second hill cannot be taller than the first hill.

Physics

The reason behind the second hill in the roller coaster not taller than the first hill is the frictional force acting on the roller coaster.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The height of the first hill in the roller coaster is taller with the decrease in the subsequent hills as the frictional forces reduces the kinetic energy.  

Coming down the first tallest hill, the speed and kinetic energy both increases as the motion is in line with gravity, but due to conservation of energy, the potential energy decreases. And as the potential energy decreases, the height of hill has to be decreased in order to complete the motion.

There will not be enough momentum from the first hill to cross another hill if he same or larger size because of the way potential energy and kinetic energy works it will not be able go as high as it could go on he fist hill.

A 3.91 kg cart is moving at 5.7 m/s when it collides with a 4 kg cart which was at rest. They collide and stick together.
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

<em>The velocity after the collision is 2.82 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum </u>

It states the total momentum of a system of bodies is conserved unless an external force is applied to it. The formula for the momentum of a body with mass m and speed v is  

P=mv.  

If we have a system of two bodies, then the total momentum is the sum of the individual momentums:

P=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

If a collision occurs and the velocities change to v', the final momentum is:

P'=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2

Since the total momentum is conserved, then:

P = P'

Or, equivalently:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2

If both masses stick together after the collision at a common speed v', then:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v'

The common velocity after this situation is:

\displaystyle v'=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}

There is an m1=3.91 kg car moving at v1=5.7 m/s that collides with an m2=4 kg cart that was at rest v2=0.

After the collision, both cars stick together. Let's compute the common speed after that:

\displaystyle v'=\frac{3.91*5.7+4*0}{3.91+4}

\displaystyle v'=\frac{22.287}{7.91}

\boxed{v' = 2.82\ m/s}

The velocity after the collision is 2.82 m/s

If the value of the electric field in an electromagnetic wave were doubled then
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Electromagnetic wave are waves formed as a result of the oscillatory activities involving the electric and the magnetic field.

However in an Electromagnetic wave, the electric field and magnetic field carry equal amounts of energy and the magnitude of the electric field is directly proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic field. This direct proportionality gives rise to the speed of light being the constant between the two fields.

When the electric field is doubled then an equal action is to be set for the magnetic field so it doesn’t deviate from its main functions and characteristics.

If the object represented by the FBD below has a mass of 2.5 kg, what is the acceleration of the object?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

4 m/s² down

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the net force acting on the object.

The net force acting on the object from the left and right side is zero because the same force is applied on both sides.

Next, we shall determine the net force acting on the object from the up and down side. This can be obtained as follow:

Force up (Fᵤ) = 15 N

Force down (Fₔ) = 25 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = Fₔ – Fᵤ

Fₙ = 25 – 15

Fₙ = 10 N down

Finally, we shall determine the acceleration of the object. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (ml= 2.5 Kg

Net force (Fₙ) = 10 N down

Acceleration (a) =?

Fₙ = ma

10 = 2.5 × a

Divide both side by 2.5

a = 10 / 2.5

a = 4 m/s² down

Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 4 m/s² down
