What happens to the kinetic energy of a roller coaster as it approaches its lowest point and loses its potential energy?

Physics

Fiesta28 [93]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

At the top of the roller coaster, there is a lot of potential energy. When it comes to the bottom, the roller coaster loses its potential energy and gains kinetic energy as it is going very fast here.

You drop a small ball, and then a second small ball. When you drop the second ball, the distance between them is 3 cm. What stat
Alja [10]

Answer:

c) The distance between the balls increases.

Explanation:

If you drop the balls at the same time, regardless of their masses they accelerate equally, since they will be in free fall.

However, if you drop one of the balls earlier, then that ball will gain velocity, whereas the second ball has zero initial velocity. At the time the second ball is dropped, both balls have the same acceleration but different initial velocities.

According to the below kinematics equation:

x = v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

The initial velocity of the first ball will make the difference, and the first ball will travel a greater distance than the second ball. Hence, their distance increases.

The Mars Curiosity rover was required to land on the surface of Mars with a velocity of 1 m/s. Given the mass of the landing veh
Aliun [14]

Answer:

The value is      A   = 39315 \  m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The velocity which the rover is suppose to land with is  v  =  1 \ m/s

    The  mass of the rover and the parachute is  m  =  2270 \ kg

     The  drag coefficient is  C__{D}}  =  0.5

      The atmospheric density of Earth  is  \rho =  1.2 \  kg/m^3

     The acceleration due to gravity in Mars is  g_m  =  3.689 \  m/s^2

     

Generally the Mars  atmosphere density is mathematically represented as

          \rho_m  =  0.71 *  \rho

=>        \rho_m  =  0.71 *  1.2

=>        \rho_m  = 0.852 \  kg/m^3

Generally the drag force on the rover and the parachute  is mathematically represented as

          F__{D}} =  m  *  g_{m}

=>       F__{D}} =  2270   *  3.689  

=>       F__{D}} =  8374 \ N  

Gnerally this drag force is mathematically represented as

         F__{D}} =   C__{D}} *  A *  \frac{\rho_m * v^2 }{2}

Here A is the frontal area

So  

         A   =  \frac{2 *  F__D }{ C__D}  *  \rho_m  * v^2   }

=>       A   =  \frac{2 * 8374 }{ 0.5 *  0.852    *  1 ^2   }

=>       A   = 39315 \  m^2

Two parallel 3.0-meter long wires conduct current. The current in the top wire is 12.5 A and flows to the right. The top wire fe
Aleksandr [31]

Complete question:

Two parallel 3.0-meter long wires conduct current. The current in the top wire is 12.5 A and flows to the right. The top wire feels a repulsive force of 2.4 x 10^-4 N created by the interaction of the 12.5 A current and the magnetic field created by the bottom current (I). Find the magnitude and direction of the bottom current, if the distance between the two wires is 40cm.

Answer:

The bottom current is 12.8 A to the right.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the wires, L = 3.0 m

current in the top wire, I₁ = 12.5 A

repulsive force between the two wires, F = 2.4 x 10⁻⁴ N

distance between the two wires, r = 40 cm = 0.4 m

The repulsive force between the two wires is given by;

F = \frac{\mu_oI_1I_2L}{2\pi r}\\\\I_{2} = \frac{2F\pi r}{\mu_oI_1L}

Where;

I₂ is the bottom current

The direction of the bottom current must be in the same direction as the top current since the force between the two wires is repulsive.

I_{2} = \frac{2F\pi r}{\mu_oI_1L}\\\\I_{2} = \frac{2(2.4*10^{-4})(\pi)(0.4)}{(4\pi*10^{-7})(12.5)(3)}\\\\I_{2} = 12.8 \ A

Therefore, the bottom current is 12.8 A to the right.

The speed of sound in aluminum is 5200 m/s. Can you hear a sound with a
romanna [79]

Answer:

v = wavelength * frequency

frequency = 5200 m/s / .2 m = 26000 / sec

20,000 / sec is optimistic for the upper frequency of human hearing

So 26,000 is above the hearing range for human ears
