2. The motion of roller coasters depends upon the conversion of potential

Physics
1 answer:
Gnesinka [82]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

58,800 Joules

Explanation:

I used the formula for Potential energy which is PE = mgh

200 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 x 30 m = 58,800 J

At the very tops of the rollercoaster is maximum PE which is 58,800 J and 0 J of KE, but at the very bottom is maximum KE (kinetic energy) which is 58,800 Joules but 0 J of PE. This is because energy can not be destroyed ONLY converted

Two Earth satellites, A and B, each of mass m, are to be launched into circular orbits about Earth’s center. Satellite A is to o
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Orbital radius of satellite A , Ra = 6370 + 6370 = 12740 km

Orbital radius of satellite B , Rb = 6370 + 19110 = 25480 km

Orbital potential energy of a satellite = - GMm / r where G is gravitational constant , M is mass of the earth and m is mass of the satellite

Orbital potential energy of a satellite A = - GMm / Ra

Orbital potential energy of a satellite B = - GMm / Rb

PE of satellite B /PE of satellite A

=  Ra / Rb

= 12740 / 25480

= 1 / 2

b ) Kinetic energy of a satellite is half the potential energy with positive value , so ratio of their kinetic energy will also be same

KE of satellite B /KE of satellite A

= 1 / 2

c ) Total energy will be as follows

Total energy = - PE + KE

- P E + PE/2

= - PE /2

Total energy of satellite B / Total energy of A

= 1 / 2

Satellite B will have greater total energy because its negative value is less.

Compare convergent plate boundaries that have the same density to convergent plate boundaries with different densities.
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

If the two plates are of equal density, they usually push up against each other, forming a mountain chain. If they are of unequal density, one plate usually sinks beneath the other in a subduction zone. Hope this helps!

A vertical spring stretches 9.6 cm when a 1.3 kg block is hung from its end. (a) Calculate the spring constant. This block is th
tatiyna

Answer:

F = - K x

a) K = 1.3 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 / .096 m = 133 kg/sec^2

b)  ω = (K/m)^1/2     angular frequency of SHM

ω = (133 / 1.3)^1/2 = 10.1 / sec

f = 2 π ω = 6.28 * 10.1 / sec = 63.5 / sec

P = 1/f = .0157 sec

Name two examples where the cohesive force dominates over the adhesive force and vice versa​
lidiya [134]
Attractive forces between molecules of the same type are called cohesive forces. ... Attractive forces between molecules of different types are called adhesive forces. Such forces cause liquid drops to cling to window panes, for example.
