Answer:

The final kinetic energy of the two-car system is 60,000 J.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the car, m = 1200 kg

time of motion, t = 8.8 s

final velocity of the car, v = 10 m/s

Apply the principle of conservation of kinetic energy; the initial kinetic energy is equal final kinetic energy.

K.E_i = K.E_f\\\\K.E_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\K.E_f =  \frac{1}{2}(1200)(10)^2\\\\K.E_f = 60,000 \ J

Therefore, the final kinetic energy of the two-car system is 60,000 J.

For the ride to be comfortable, the magnitude of acceleration must not exceed 32 m/s2. What is the fastest constant speed that a
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

the maximum possible constant speed is  8 m/sec  

Explanation:

from the image, Given that

r(t) = (2t, t²,t²/3), -5 ≤ t ≤ 5  

Given that the curvature K(t)  = 2 / ( t² + 2)²  

note that t² + 2 ≥ 2  

(t² + 2)² ≥ 4

1 / (t² + 2)² ≤ 1/4

2 / (t² + 2)² ≤ 1/2

Also note that k(0) = 1/2

The normal component of acceleration satisfies aN = kv²

where v = ║v(t)║is the speed of the roller coaster.

The maximum possible normal component of acceleration is 32

so, aN ≤ 32 every where on the track

aN = kv² ≤  1/2v² ≤ 32

v² ≤ 64

Therefore, the maximum possible constant speed is  8 m/sec

Xplain the difference between aerobic and anaerobic exercise and give 1 example of each?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The term "aerobic" refers to the body's ability to provide energy through the use of oxygen.  The term anaerobic refers to the body's ability to provide energy without the use of oxygen.

An example of an aerobic exercise is swimming. An example of an anaerobic exercise is sprinting.

I think it would be the one talking about if there’s water there would still be energy because water is used as a source of energy because there’s so much of it and it can be used again and again

A 0.0780 kg lemming runs off a 5.36 m high cliff at 4.84 m/s. what is its potential energy (PE) when it is 2.00 m above the grou
Colt1911 [192]

The potential energy of the lemming is 1.53 J

Explanation:

The potential energy (PE) of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in the Earth's gravitational field, and it is given by:

PE=mgh

where:

m is the mass of the object

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the object relative to the ground

In this problem:

m = 0.0780 kg is the mass of the lemming

We want to find the potential energy when the height is

h = 2.00 m

Therefore, we find:

PE=(0.0780)(9.8)(2.00)=1.53 J
