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

2 answers:

8 0

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.

Explanation:

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.

In terms of saturation (unsaturated, saturated, super-saturated). How would you classify the following?

miskamm [114]

Answer:

1. A NaCl solution with a concentration of 50g/100mL of water at 40°C: The NaCl solution with a given concentration is saturated at this temperature .As the temperature increases the solution will more dissolves.

2. A sugar solution with a concentration of 200g/100mL of water at 40°C: The sugar solution with a given concentration is saturated at this temperature. As the temperature increases the solution will more dissolves.

3. A sugar solution with a concentration of 240g/100mL of water at 40°C: The sugar solution with a given concentration is saturated at given temperature.

A 2.0-kg laptop sits on the horizontal surface of the seat of a car moving at 8.0 m/s. The driver starts slowing down to stop. F

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: $32.65\ m$

Explanation:

Given

mass of laptop m=2 kg

The velocity of car u=8 m/s

The coefficient of static friction is $\mu_s=0.4$

The coefficient of kinetic friction is $\mu_k=0.2$

As the car is moving, so the coefficient of kinetic friction comes into play

deceleration offered by friction $\mu_kg=0.2\times 9.8\ m/s^2$

Using the equation of motion $v^2-u^2=2as\\$

insert the values

$0^2-8^2=2(-0.2\times 9.8)s\\\\s=\dfrac{64}{1.96}\\\\s=32.65\ m$

A person throws a ball straight up in the air. The ball rises to a maximum height and then falls back down so that the person ca

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

The acceleration is about 9.8 m/s2 (down) when the ball is falling.

Explanation:

The ball at maximum height has velocity zero

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² (positive downward and negative upward)

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=u-9.8\times t\\\Rightarrow u=9.8t$

The accleration 9.8 m/s² will always be acting on the body in opposite direction when the body is going up and in the same direction when the body is going down. The acceleration on the body will never be zero

Suppose that the Sun started shrinking in size, without losing any mass. What would be the effect of the Sun's change on the orb

adell [148]

Answer:

F = G M m / R^2 gravitational force on planet of mass m.

None of these quantities change in the given hypothesis so

there will be no change in the orbit of mass m
