Answer:

Mass, m = 120.72 kg.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

P.E = 94646J

Height, h = 80m

We know that acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s²

Since the roller coaster is sitting at the top of a hill, it simply means it possesses energy due to its position.

Potential energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

P.E = mgh

Where, P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

  • m represents the mass of an object.
  • g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.
  • h represents the height measured in meters.

To find its mass?

<em>Substituting the values into the equation, we have;</em>

94646 = m*9.8*80

94646 = m*784

m = \frac {94646}{784}

Mass, m = 120.72 kg.

<em>Therefore, the mass of the roller coaster is 120.72 kilograms. </em>

A plastic rod rubbed with a duster attracts bits of paper becauseof a what force
likoan [24]
Its because of the static electricity.As we rub, the positive and negative charges are acquired by the plastic rod and duster.
If we bring paper bits near them, the charges possessed by the paper bits get attracted towards the charges in plastic rod.

What minimum speed does a 170 gg puck need to make it to the top of a frictionless ramp that is 3.6 mm long and inclined at 27 ∘
amid [387]

Answer:

0.176 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the puck, m = 170 g

Length of the ramp, L = 3.6 mm

angle  of inclination, θ = 26°

the minimum speed require to reach at the top of the ramp

using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 a s

final speed of the puck is zero

0² = u² - 2 g s

  u = \sqrt{2gh}

height of the pluck

sin \theta = \dfrac{h}{L}

sin 26^0= \dfrac{h}{3.6}

h = 1.58 mm

h = 0.00158 m

now,

  u = \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.00158}

  u = 0.176 m/s

hence, the speed required by the pluck to reach at the top is equal to  0.176 m/s
