Answer:

E_{k2}=2660 [J] kinetic energy.

Explanation:

The energy in the initial state i.e. when the rollercoaster is at the top is equal to the energy in the final state i.e. when it is at the bottom of the hill.

These states can be represented by means of the second equation.

E_{k1}+E_{p1}=E_{k2}\\160 + 2500 = E_{k2}\\E_{k2}=2660 [J]

Since the rollercoaster is located in the bottom of the hill where the potential energy level is zero, therefore there is only kinetic energy in the second state.

Why did thomson’s results from experimenting with cathode rays cause a big change in scientific thought about atoms?
natima [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Before Thomson's discovery, atoms were believed according to the "Dalton's atomic theory" to be the smallest indivisible particle of any matter. This makes atoms the smallest unit of a matter.

Thomson in 1897, used the discharge tube to discover cathode rays which are today called electrons.

The discovery of electrons provided more light into the structure and nature of atoms. Atoms were now being seen in a different light as particles that are made up of other smaller sized particles.

Thomson through his experiment was able determine perfectly well the nature of the rays he saw emanating from the cathode. One of his findings shows that the rays are negatively charged and are repelled by negative charges.

The discovery of electrons further led to more works on the atom and other particles were discovered. Atoms were no longer seen as indivisible or the smallest particles of matter.

you toss a bowling ball straight up into the air with a speed of 2.1. how long does it take the bowling ball to reach its highes
omeli [17]
I am going to assume 2.1 metres per second and that we're rounding acceleration due to gravity to -10 metres per second squared. At the highest point, velocity is going to be 0. v= intial velocity + acceleration*time, sub in 0 for velocity, 2.1 for initial velocity and -10 for acceleration to get 0= 2.1-10t. Now solve for t. t=0.21 seconds.

What is the bouncing of light when it changes media
matrenka [14]

When light passes from one medium to another, part of it continues on
into the new medium, while the rest of it bounces away from the boundary,
back into the first medium.

The part of the light that continues on into the new medium is <em>transmitted</em>
light.  Its forward progress at any point in its journey is <em>transmission</em>. 

Its direction usually changes as it crosses the boundary.  The bending is <em>
refraction</em>
.

The part of the light that bounces away from the boundary and heads back
into the first medium is <em>reflected</em> light.  The process of bouncing is <em>reflection</em>.
