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>

Absolute zero (K=0 or -273.15°C) is what temperature on the Farenheit scale? a) 459.4°F b) -301.43 °F c) 233.05°F d) -40.15°F e
ANEK [815]

Answer:

e) None of these is true

Explanation:

Given that

Temperature = 0 K

We know that relationship between kelvin and Farenheit scale

\dfrac{K-273}{100}=\dfrac{F-32}{180}

Now by putting the values

\dfrac{K-273}{100}=\dfrac{F-32}{180}

\dfrac{0-273}{100}=\dfrac{F-32}{180}

So F= - 459.67°F

So we can say that 0 K is equal to  - 459.67°F.

So the our option e is correct.
