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.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric field due to a charge Q at a point d distance away is given by the expression

E = k Q / d , k is a constant equal to 9 x 10⁹

Field due to charge = 3 X 10⁻⁹ C

E = E = \frac{9\times 10^9\times3\times10^{-9}}{d^2}

Field due to charge = 4 X 10⁻⁹ C

E = [tex]\frac{9\times 10^9\times4\times10^{-9}}{(2-d)^2}

These two fields will be equal and opposite to make net field zero

\frac{9\times 10^9\times3\times10^{-9}}{d^2} = [tex]\frac{9\times 10^9\times4\times10^{-9}}{(2-d)^2}[/tex]

\frac{3}{d^2} =\frac{4}{(2-d)^2}

\frac{2-d}{d} =\frac{2}{1.732}

d = 0.928

The velocity of the cannonball is 150 m/s,  the right option is B. 150 m/s.

The question can be solved, using Newton's second law of motion.

Note: Momentum of the cannon = momentum of the cannonball.

<h3>Formula:</h3>
  • MV = mv................. Equation 1

<h3>Where:</h3>
  • M = mass of the cannon
  • m = mass of the cannonball
  • V = velocity of the cannon
  • v = velocity of the cannonball

Make v the subject of the equation.

  • v = MV/m................ Equation 2

From the question,

<h3>Given: </h3>
  • M = 500 kg
  • V = 3 m/s
  • m = 10 kg.

Substitute these values into equation 2.

  • v = (500×3)/10
  • v = 150 m/s.

 

Hence, The velocity of the cannonball is 150 m/s,  the right option is B. 150 m/s.

amid [387]

Answer:

Its  answer is 2.21 kg.

Explanation:

F =m × a

71 = m × 32

71 ÷ 32 = m
