Answer:

h = 0.46 m

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy:

Potential Energy Lost by Roller Coaster = Kinetic Energy Gained by Roller Coaster

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\2gh = v^2\\\\h = \frac{v^2}{2g}

where,

h = height = ?

v = speed at bottom = 3 m/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

h = \frac{(3\ m/s)^2}{(2)(9.81\ m/s^2)}

<u>h = 0.46 m</u>

A satellite is in a circular orbit around the Earth at an altitude of 3.18x10 m. Find the period and th orbital speed of the sat
Leona [35]

Answer:

112.17 m/s

56.427 years

Explanation:

h = 3.18 x 10^10 m

R = 6.4 x 10^6 m

r = R + h = 3.18064 x 10^10 m

M = 6 x 10^24 kg

The formula for the orbital velocity is given by

v = \sqrt{\frac{G M }{r}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 6\times 10^{24}  }{3.18064\times 10^{10}}}

v = 112.17 m/s

Orbital period, T = 2 x 3.14 x 3.18064 x 10^10 / 112.17

T = 0.178 x 10^10 s

T = 56.427 years

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

There is at least one instant which instantaneous acceleration is equal to average acceleration. a = 1500\,\frac{km}{h^{2}}.

Explanation:

The average acceleration experimented by the car is:

\bar a = \frac{85\,\frac{km}{h} - 35\,\frac{km}{h} }{\frac{2}{60}\,h }

\bar a = 1500\,\frac{km}{h^{2}}

According to the Rolle's Theorem, there is at least one instant t so that instantaneous acceleration equal to average acceleration for the analyzed interval. That is to say:

v'(c) = \frac{v(\frac{2}{60} )-v(0)}{\frac{2}{60}-0}

If car is accelerating at constant rate, instantaneous acceleration coincides with average acceleration for all instant t. Then, instantaneous acceleration is:

a = 1500\,\frac{km}{h^{2}}
