Answer:

B. 24.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the roller coaster, m = 450 kg

height of the roller coaster, h = 30 m

The maximum potential energy of the roller coaster  due to its height is given by;

P.E_{max} = mgh\\\\PE_{max} = 450 *9.8*30\\\\PE_{max} = 132,300 \ J

P.E_{max} = K.E_{max} \ (law \ of \ conservation\ of \ energy)

K.E_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2\\\\ v_{max}^2 = \frac{2K.E_{max}}{m}\\\\ v_{max}^2 = \frac{2*132300}{450}\\\\ v_{max}^2 =588\\\\v_{max} = \sqrt{588}\\\\  v_{max} = 24.2 \ m/s

Therefore, the maximum speed of the roller coaster is 24.2 m/s.

A 91.5 kg football player running east at 3.73 m/s tackles a 63.5 kg player running east at 3.09 m/s. what is their velocity aft
PIT_PIT [208]

Their velocity afterward is  v=3.467 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the first football player= 91.5 kg

Initial velocity of the football player 3.73 m/s

Mass of second football player=63.56 kg

Initial velocity of the second football player=3.09 m/s

To find:

Final velocity of both players=?

Solution:

According to the law of conservation of momentum,

Initial momentum =final momentum

mathematically represented as  

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2...........................(1)

where

u_1=intial velocity of the football player

u_2 = inital velocity of second football player

v_1=finall velocity of the  first football player

v_2=final velocity of second football player

after tackling , both the football players moves with the same velocity,

so v_1=v_2=v

Hence equation (1) becomes

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v

v=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

now substituting the values,

v=\frac{(91.5\times+3.73)+(63.5\times3.09)}{(91.5+63.5)}v=\frac{(341.29+196.210)}{155}

v=\frac{537.5}{155}

v=3.467 m/s
