A roller coaster car has 600,00 J of Kinetic energy as it approaches the station to stop. The roller coaster comes to a complete

stop. How much work did the brakes do in stopping the car?

Answer:

Work Done by the Brakes = - 60000 J

Negative sign indicates the opposite direction of force and displacement.

Explanation:

Assuming that frictional effects are negligible, we can say that all the work done by the brakes is used to stop the car. We can apply law of conservation of energy to this situation as follows:

Work Done by the Brakes = Change in Kinetic Energy

Work Done by the Brakes = Final Kinetic Energy - Initial Kinetic Energy

Final Kinetic Energy of the roller coaster will be 0. Because, the roller coaster will stop finally and its velocity will become zero.

Work Done by the Brakes = 0 J - 60000 J

<u>Work Done by the Brakes = - 60000 J</u>

<u>Negative sign indicates the opposite direction of force and displacement.</u>

A 6157 N piano is to be pushed up a(n) 2.41 m frictionless plank that makes an angle of 21.9 ◦ with the horizontal. Calculate th
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Work done, W = 5534.53 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting on the piano, F = 6157 N

It is pushed up a distance of 2.41 m friction less plank.

Let W is the work done in sliding the piano up the plank at a slow constant rate. It is given by :

W=Fd\ sin\theta

Since, F=F\ sin\theta (in vertical direction)

W=6157\times 2.41\ sin(21.9)

W = 5534.53 J

So, the work done in sliding the piano up the plank is 5534.53 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

A snowball is rolling down a hill at 4.5 m/s and accumulating snow as it goes. Its diameter begins at 0.50 m and ends at the bot
Reil [10]
To find the change in centripetal acceleration, you should first look for the centripetal acceleration at the top of the hill and at the bottom of the hill.

The formula for centripetal acceleration is:
Centripetal Acceleration = v squared divided by r

where:
v = velocity, m/s
r= radium, m

assuming the velocity does not change:

at the top of the hill:
centripetal acceleration = (4.5 m/s^2) divided by 0.25 m
                                      = 81 m/s^2

at the bottom of the hill:
centripetal acceleration = (4.5 m/s^2) divided by 1.25 m
                                      = 16.2 m/s^2

to find the change in centripetal acceleration, take the difference of the two.
change in centripetal acceleration = centripetal acceleration at the top of the hill - centripetal acceleration at the bottom of the hill

= 81 m/s^2 - 16.2 m/s^2
= 64.8 m/s^2 or 65 m/s^2

If i punch my self and it will hurt am i weak or strong
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

You're strong.

Explanation:

I've been thinking of this for quite a while, and I realized that your body has a certain limit to how much pain it can take. So, punching yourself extremely hard will cause pain, because that's your body's reaction to immense pressure being put on it. But, the fact that you punched yourself so hard that it hurts, shows that you are capable of applying so much pressure; therefore, you are strong.
