Apply the law of conservation of energy and describe the energy transformations that occur as you coast down a long hill on a bi

cycle and then apply the brakes to make the bike stop at the bottom.
A roller coaster is at the top of a hill and rolls to the top of a lower hill. If mechanical energy is constant, then on the top of which hill is the kinetic energy from the roller coaster`s motion greater?

As you coast down a long hill on your bicycle, potential energy from your height is converted to kinetic energy as you and your bike are pulled downward by gravity along the slope of the hill. While there is air resistance and friction slowing you down by a little bit, your speed increases gradually until you apply the brakes, causing enough friction to slow yourself and the bike to a stop at the bottom.

A roller coaster will have higher kinetic energy at the lower hill because it will have already been moving as opposed to the initial hill. But I'm not one hundred percent certain. You can always google this stuff, but I do know for sure that at the first hill, the roller coaster will have higher potential energy.
Hope this helps!

A car traveling at 27.4 m/s hits a bridge abutment. A passenger in the car, who has a mass of 65.0 kg, moves forward a distance
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

F=43570.9N

Explanation:

We can calculate the acceleration experimented by the passenger using the formula v_f^2=v_i^2+2ad, taking the initial direction of movement as the positive direction and considering it comes to a rest:

a=\frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2d}=\frac{-v_i^2}{2d}

Then we use Newton's 2nd Law to calculate the force the passenger of mass m experimented to have this acceleration:

F=ma=\frac{-mv_i^2}{2d}

Which for our values is:

F=\frac{-(65kg)(27.4m/s)^2}{2(0.56m)}=43570.9N

A 6 m/s vector pointing North is added to a 2 m/s vector pointing East. What are the magnitude and direction of the resultant?
irina [24]

Answer:

A + B = C      Ax = 2   Ay = 0    Bx = 0  By = 6

Ax + Bx = Cx = 2

Ay + By = Cy = 6

C = (2^2 + 6^2)^1/2 = 6.32

Tan Cy / Cx = 6 / 2 = 3

Cy at 71.6 deg

When we apply the energy conversation principle to a cylinder rolling down an incline without sliding, we exclude the work done
NikAS [45]

Answer:

D. the linear velocity of the point of contact (relative to the inclined surface) is zero

Explanation:

The force of friction emerges only when there is relative velocity between two objects . In case of perfect rolling , there is no sliding so relative velocity between the surface and the point of contact is zero . In other words the velocity of point of contact becomes zero , even though , the whole body is in linear motion . It happens due  point of contact having two velocities which are equal and opposite . One of the velocity is in forward direction and the other velocity which is due to rotation is in backward direction . So net velocity of point of contact becomes zero . Due to absence of sliding , displacement due to friction  becomes zero . Hence work done by friction becomes zero.

A uniformly charged, straight filament 7.00m in length has a total positive charge of 2.00μC. An uncharged card-board cylinder 2
TEA [102]

The electric field at the surface of the cylinder is 51428V/m

Given data:

• The length of the charge is l=  7m.

• The charge is q = 2μC..

• The radius the cylinder is r = 10 cm

Since the filament length is so large as compared to the cylinder length that the infinite line of charge can be assumed.

The expression to calculate the electric field is given as,

E=2kλ/r

Here, λ is the linear charge density.

Substitute the values in the above equation,

E = (2×9×109N⋅m^2/C^2×2×10^−6C)/0.1m×7m

E = 51428N/C×(V/m)/(N/C)

=51428V/m

An electric charge is the property of matter where it has more or fewer electrons than protons in its atoms. Electrons carry a negative charge and protons carry a positive charge. Matter is positively charged if it contains more protons than electrons, and negatively charged if it contains more electrons than protons.
