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>

There is a species of bamboo that can grow 36 inches per day. If a plant grew at this rate and was measured at 40 inches initial
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

It will take the plant 4\frac{4}{9} days or 4.44 days to grow to a height of 200 inches tall.

Explanation:

From the question, the rate at which the species of the bamboo tree grows is 36 inches per day.

To determine how long it would take a plant 40 inches tall initially to grow at this rate (that is, 36 inches per day) to a height of 200 inches.

This means we will calculate the number of days it will take the plant to grow additional 160 inches ( 200 inches - 40 inches) at this rate.

Now,

If the plant grows 36 inches in 1 day

then it will grow 160 inches in x days

x = (160 inches × 1 day) / 36 inches

x = 160 / 36

x = 4\frac{4}{9} days or 4.44 days

Hence, it will take the plant 4\frac{4}{9} days or 4.44 days to grow to a height of 200 inches tall.

If a 100 N net force acts on a 50 kg car, what will the acceleration of the car will be?
Allushta [10]
According to newton's law Force = mass * acceleration
so , 100 = 50 * a
so , a= 2 m/s^2
