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

Physics
2 answers:
koban [17]3 years ago

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.

the average power of the Sun is 3.79x1026 Watts, answer the following questions: 13. What is the average intensity of light at E
Lemur [1.5K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Average power of sun P=3.79\times10^{26}\ Watt

We need to calculate the intensity of light at Earth's position

Using formula of intensity

I=\dfrac{P_{avg}}{4\pi r^2}

Where, I = intensity

P = power

Put the value into the formula

I=\dfrac{3.79\times10^{26}}{4\pi\times(1.496\times10^{11})^2}

I=1347.616\ W/m^2

So, The intensity is 1347.616 W/m².

(A). We need to calculate the pressure on a solar sail due to the light of the sun if it's fully reflective

Using formula for fully reflective

P = \dfrac{2I}{c}

Put the value into the formula

P=\dfrac{2\times1347.616}{3\times10^{8}}

P=8.984\times10^{-6}\ N/m

(B).  We need to calculate the pressure on a solar sail due to the light of the sun if it's fully reflective

Using formula for fully absorptive

P=\dfrac{I}{c}

P=\dfrac{1347.616}{3\times10^{8}}

P=4.492\times10^{-6}\ N/m

Hence, This is the required solution.

Define second class lever​
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Please find detailed explanation of second class levers below

Explanation:

Levers are one of the classes of machine that possesses three levels namely: first class, second class and third claas. A second class lever is the level of levers in which the load (L) is in between the pivot (F) and the effort (E).

Examples of second class levers include; wheelbarrow, a bottle opener etc. In the bottle opener for example, the bottle lid (load) is in between the pivot of the opener and the hand opening it (effort).

Why is Florida more vulnerable to the effects of climate change? ​
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of Florida, the land surface is also sinking. If the oceans and atmosphere continue to warm, sea level along the Florida coast is likely to rise one to four feet in the next century. Rising sea level submerges wetlands and dry land, erodes beaches, and exacerbates coastal flooding.
