Answer:

Point A (Maximum height)

Explanation:

Potential energy is given as the product of mass, height and acceleration due to gravity hence expressed as mgh where m is the mass of roller coaster, h is the height and g is acceleration due to gravity. Since the mass and g are constant for a roller coaster, the main factor that will influence the magnitude of energy is the height. The higher the height, the higher the potential energy and vice versa. Using the attached image, the highest point is point A

Answer:a

Explanation: Potential energy is defined as mechanical energy, stored energy, or energy caused by its position. The energy that a ball has when perched at a top of a steep hill while it is about to roll down is an example of potential energy which is saying

What is the unit of work in SI system?
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Joule ;)

Explanation:

In the case of work (and also energy), the standard metric unit is the Joule (abbreviated J). One Joule is equivalent to one Newton of force causing a displacement of one meter. In other words, The Joule is the unit of work.

Hope this helps!

A ball thrown horizontally at 12.6 m/s from the roof of a building lands 20.0 m from the base of the building
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

1.59 seconds

12.3 meters

but if you are wise you will read the entire answer.

Explanation:

This is a good question -- if not a bit unusual. You should try and understand the details. It will come in handy.

Time

<u>Given</u>

a = 0 This is the critical point. There is no horizontal acceleration.

d = 20 m

v = 12.6 m/s

<u>Formula</u>

d = vi * t + 1/2at^2

<u>Solution</u>

Since the acceleration is 0, the formula reduces to

d = vi * t

20 = 12.6 * t

t = 20 / 12.6

t = 1.59 seconds.

It takes 1.59 seconds to hit the ground

Height of the building

<u>Givens</u>

t = 1.59 sec

vi = 0     Another critical point. The beginning speed vertically is 0

a = 9.8 m/s^2   The acceleration is vertical.

<u>Formula</u>

d = vi*t + 1/2 a t^2

<u>Solution</u>

d = 1/2 a*t^2

d = 1/2 * 9.8 * 1.59^2

d = 12.3 meters.

The two vi's are not to be confused. The horizontal vi is a number other other 0 (in this case 12.6 m/s horizontally)

The other vi is a vertical speed. It is 0.
