Explain why the top of the loop cannot be the same height as (or higher than) the top of the first hill. Assume the roller coast

er and its surroundings are close to a closed system. Use what you know about energy transformations and the effects of friction within a closed system to write your answer.
Passage
Examine this diagram of a roller-coaster track. The very top of the first hill (point B) is higher than the very top of the loop (point D). After the cars reach point B, this roller coaster needs no additional energy to complete its trip.

Answer:

By conservation of energy, it can climb up to a height equal to that it went down before. However, due to the friction in the machines, the total mechanical energy of the roller coaster will decrease. As a result, the first "hill" of many roller coasters are the highest, but the followings will have decreasing heights.

ladessa [460]

Answer:

550 nm

Explanation:

The formula for the double-slit diffraction experiment is:

y=\frac{m\lambda D}{d}

where

y is the distance of the m-th maximum from the central fringe

\lambda is the wavelength of the light used

D is the distance of the screen from the slits

d is the separation between the slits

In this problem we have:

d=0.3 mm = 0.3\cdot 10^{-3} m is the distance between the slits

D=1.5 m is the distance of the screen

We also know that the distance between the 3rd and 5th order maximum is 5.5 mm, which means that:

y_5-y_3 = 5.5 mm = 5.5\cdot 10^{-3} m

And we can rewrite this as:

y_5-y_3 = \frac{5\lambda D}{d}-\frac{3\lambda D}{d}=\frac{2\lambda D}{d}

where we used respectively m=3 and m=5. If we know solve for \lambda, we find the wavelength:

\lambda = \frac{(y_5-y_3) d}{2 D}=\frac{(5.5\cdot 10^{-3})(0.3\cdot 10^{-3})}{2(1.5)}=5.5 \cdot 10^{-7} m=550 nm

If you increase the elasticity of a material, what happens to the speed of a mechanical wave going through it?
Sophie [7]

Answer:

At the molecular level, materials are held together by bonds, which act like springs for small displacements from the equilibrium spacing between neighboring atoms. Push the atoms close, the bond pushes back to keep them apart. Pull them apart, the bond pulls the atoms closer. For those small displacements, it acts like a spring

The speed of the wave will be related to the stiffness of of those springs - you compress the material - how quickly do all of those little springs rebound and push their neighboring atoms away, sending that wave of compression through the material.

Melanie completes a long distance run at an average speed of 6 mph. If it takes her 3 hours, how far did she run?
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

18 miles

Explanation:

The average speed is 6 mph

Melanie ran for 3 hours

Speed × Time = Distance

So, 6 mph × 3 h = 18 miles
