Answer:

15.88m/s

Explanation:

At the top of the roller coaster you will have three forces acting on the roller-coaster. See the image below. Fc is the centripetal force (for an object in circular motion), Fg is the gravitational force, and Fn is the normal force. To achieve the minimum speed we assume the roller-coaster is barely touching the vertical loop and so the normal force is zero. This leaves two acting forces.

F_g = F_c\\mg = \frac{m\times v^2}{r}\\v = \sqrt{gr} = \sqrt{9.81 \times 25.7}  = 15.88 m/s

A car starts moving from the position of rest with uniform acceleration of 8m/s^calculate the distance travelled by it during 10
ad-work [718]

We calculate the coordinates at t₁ = 9 min and t₂ = 10 min, since the 10th minute is between t₁ and t₂.

As it leaves from rest, it means that the initial speed is zero


t₁=9 min=540 s

t₂=10 min=600 s

x₁=at₁²/2=8*540²/2=4*291600=1166400 m

x₂=at₂²/2=8*600²/2=4*360000=1440000 m

Δx=x₂-x₁=1440000-1166400=273600 m represents the distance traveled by the car in the 10th minute of travel

Which of the following statements about Gaussʹs law are correct? (There may be more than one correct choice.) Question 3 options
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

If a Gaussian surface is completely inside an electrostatic conductor, the electric field must always be zero at all points on that surface.

Explanation:

Option A is incorrect because, given this case, it is easier to calculate the field.

Option B is incorrect because, in a situation where the surface is placed inside a uniform field, option B is violated

Option C is also incorrect because it is possible to be a field from outside charges, but there will be an absence of net flux through the surface from these.

Hence, option D is the correct answer. "If a Gaussian surface is completely inside an electrostatic conductor, the electric field must always be zero at all points on that surface."

A 650 kg steel beam is being pulled up by a crane with a force of 7020 N. What is the upwards acceleration of the beam?
zimovet [89]

Answer: 1 m/s^2

Explanation:

n= w+ma

n= Mg+Ma

7020 = (650)(9.8)+650a

7020 = 6370+ 650a

650=650a

A= 1 m/s^2

True or false energy is always lost in a circuit
Llana [10]

Explanation:

Electrons will gain energy as they are "pushed" from different points in the circuit. This energy is then lost when the electrons flow through circuit components such as a light bulb.
