A rollercoaster moves from the bottom of a hill and approaches the top of the hill. If friction between the wheels and the track

is ignored, which statement describes the components of the total energy?
Physics
1 answer:
Fudgin [204]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The kinetic energy decreases, and gravitational potential energy increases.

Explanation:

The rollercoaster will slow down as it goes up the hill, so kinetic energy should not increase.

A ledge on a building is 20 m above the ground. A taut rope attached to a 4.0 kg can of paint sitting on the ledge passes up ove
Andrews [41]

Answer:

 t = 5.4 s

Explanation:

from the question we are given :

height (s) = 20 m

mass of paint (Mp) = 4 kg

mass of nails (Mn) = 3 kg

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

  • The net force accelerating the can of paint should be equal to the difference in weight of the can of paint and the can of nails.

            weight of nails = mass of nails x g = 3 x 9.8 = 29.4 N

            weight of paint = mass nails x g = 4 x 9.8 = 39.2 N

             net force = 39.2 - 29.4 = 9.8 N

  • net force = total mass x acceleration

             9.8 = (3 +4) x a

              a = 1.4 m/s^{2}

  • from S = Ut + 0.5at^{2}  we can get  the time the carpenter has to catch the nails

          where U is the initial velocity and is 0 since the can was initially at            

            rest

           20 = (0 x t) + (0.5 x 1.4 x t^{2})

            20 = 0.7 x t^{2}

             t^{2} = 28.6

             t = 5.4 s

A uniform meter stick is pivoted at the 50.00 cm mark on the meter stick. A 400.0 gram object is hung at the 20.0 cm mark on the
babunello [35]

Answer:C

Explanation:

Given

mass m_1=400\ gm is at x=20\ cm mark

mass m_2=320\ gm is at x=75\ cm mark

Scale is Pivoted at x=50\ cm mark

For scale to be in equilibrium net torque must be equal to zero

Taking ACW as positive thus

T_{net}=0.4\times g\times (0.5-0.2)-0.32\times g\times(0.75-0.50)

T_{net}=0.12g-0.08g=0.04g

Therefore a net torque of 0.04 g is required in CW sense which a mass 400\ gm can provide at a distance of x_o from pivot

0.04g=0.4\times g\times x_o

x_o=0.1\ m

therefore in meter stick it is at a distance of x=60\ cm

Two small plastic spheres are given positive electrical charges. When they are a distance of 14.8cm apart, the repulsive force b
sdas [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Case I: They have same charge.

Charge on each sphere = q

Distance between them, d = 14.8 cm = 0.148 m

Repulsive force, F = 0.235 N

Use Coulomb's law in electrostatics

F=\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{d^{2}}

By substituting the values

0.235=\frac{9\times10^{9}q^{2}}{0.148^{2}}

q=7.56\times10^{-7}C

Thus, the charge on each sphere is q=7.56\times10^{-7}C.

Case II:

Charge on first sphere = 4q

Charge on second sphere = q

distance between them, d = 0.148 m

Force between them, F = 0.235 N

Use Coulomb's law in electrostatics

F=\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{d^{2}}

By substituting the values

0.235=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 4q^{2}}{0.148^{2}}

q=3.78\times10^{-7}C

Thus, the charge on second sphere is q=3.78\times10^{-7}C and the charge on first sphere is 4q = 4\times 3.78\times 10^{-7}=1.51 \times 10^{-6} C.

What force must a rocket overcome to reach space
Nat2105 [25]
Hello! Gravity is lost when you reach the outside of the Earth's orbit! So you would have to overcome gravity in order to officially be in space. Gravity is the first thing a rocket must overcome to reach space.

I hope this helped!

I am, yours most sincerely,
