Which point on the roller coaster's path represents the maximum potential energy?

Physics

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

How do you change matter into other phases of matter?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
Hey there!

There's many ways to do it - like melting and evaporating.

For example, we'll use water. Plain old water in a water bottle. Right now, it's in its liquid state of matter, but say you put it in the freezer for an hour. That would change its state of matter to solid, since it would be solid ice. Now, if you were to put it out in the sun on a blazing hot day for a couple of hours, it would evaporate and become water vapor, a gas. Lastly, if you can cool that water vapor it becomes a liquid again.

Hope this helps!

a pendulum, 2.0 m in length, is released with a push when the string is at an angle of 25 o from the vertical. if the initial sp
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

1 / 2 m v^2 = L m g (1 - cos θ)

This is the KE due to the pendulum falling from a 25 deg displacement

v^2 = 2 L g (1 - cos 25) = 2 * 2 * 9.8 (1 - .906) = 3.67 m^2/s^2

v = 1.92 m/s      this is the speed due to an initial displacement of 25 deg

Its speed at the bottom would then be

1.92 + 1.2 = 3.12 m/s   since it gains 1.92 m/s from its initial displacement

A car travels 40km/hr for 2 hours and 55km/hr for 2 hours how far has the car traveled what’s its average velocity?
vfiekz [6]

Answer;

Average speed  = 47.5 km/hr

Explanation and solution;

Average Speed = Total distance /Total time

Total distance;

-In the first two hours travelling at 40km/hr, total distance traveled is 80km.

(40 × 2) = 80 km

-In next two hours distance covered is 110 km. (55 ×2)

Total distance = 110 + 80 = 190 km

Total time = 2 + 2 = 4 hours

Average Speed = Total distance /Total time

                          = 190/4

                         = 47.5 km/hr
