Answer:

It uses graivity and momentum because since we all know, gravity pulls things down, they have a chaint hat lifts the carts up, and then when it gets to a top, it releases it. When it goes down very high, it will go faster. Then it uses momentum when it goes up, then down again, or a loop to regain speed. IT doesn't need a engine or a motor to speed it up or slow it down because gravity and momentum is already doing the job a engine could. Like I said, when it is high in the sky and released, it goes down in incredible speed. And when it needs more speed to keep the ride going, it can add a loop or tight turns to increase it more.

A soft drink (mostly water) flows in a pipe at a beverage plant with a mass flow rate that would fill 220 0.355 - L cans per min
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

A. To find the mass flow rate.

We use= 220 x 0.355/ 60

= 1.3kg/s

B. Volume flowrate is = mass flowrate / density

But density is 1000kg/m³

= 1.3kg/s/ 1000kg/m³

= 0.0013m³/s

C. Flow speead at 1

= 0.0013m³/s / (2 x 10-2m)²

= 6.5m/s

D.flow speed at 2

0.0013m³/s / (8x 10-2m)²

=1.63m/s

E. Gauge pressure at point 1

= 152+ 1/1000 ( 1.63)²- 6.5² + 1000( 9.8) ( 0-1.35)

= 119kpa

5. A hollow cylinder of mass m, radius Rc, and moment of inertia I = mRc2 is pushed against a spring (with spring constant k) co
Makovka662 [10]

Explanation:

(a) Draw a free body diagram of the cylinder at the top of the loop.  At the minimum speed, the normal force is 0, so the only force is weight pulling down.

Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:

∑F = ma

mg = mv²/RL

v = √(g RL)

(b) Energy is conserved.

EE = KE + RE + PE

½ kd² = ½ mv² + ½ Iω² + mgh

kd² = mv² + Iω² + 2mgh

kd² = mv² + (m RC²) ω² + 2mg (2 RL)

kd² = mv² + m RC²ω² + 4mg RL

kd² = mv² + mv² + 4mg RL

kd² = 2mv² + 4mg RL

kd² = 2m (v² + 2g RL)

d² = 2m (v² + 2g RL) / k

d = √[2m (v² + 2g RL) / k]
