If a roller coaster train has a potential energy of 1,500 J and a kinetic energy of 500 J as it starts to travel downhill, what

is its total energy

DENIUS [597]3 years ago
6 0

Its total mechanical energy is <em>2,000 J</em>.

We don't have enough information to say anything about its heat energy, its chemical energy, or the energy due to any electrical charge it may be carrying or any magnetic field it may have.

If the period of a spring is 5 seconds what is the frequency
Scilla [17]

Answer:

C. 0.2 Hertz

Explanation:

The frequency of a spring is equal to the reciprocal of the period:

f=\frac{1}{T}

where

f is the frequency

T is the period

For the spring in this problem,

T = 5 s

therefore, the frequency is

f=\frac{1}{5 s}=0.2 Hz

Human-Powered Flight Human-powered aircraft require a pilot to pedal, as in a bicycle, and produce a sustained power output of a
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

# of Snickers bars 2

Explanation:

Power output= 0.30 HP

=0.3*746

= 0.30 HP (746 W=1.00 HP)

= 224 W

time required 2 h 49 m = 10140 seconds

Since power is work divided by time, then work is:

Work done by the jet = P*t

= 224 *(10140)

= 2.3 MJ (2.3 x 10^{6} J)

Converting MJ to Cal

2.3 MJ=549 Cal

# of Snickers bars = 549 Cal / 280 Cal

= 2.0 bars (rounded from 1.96)

A merry-go-round with a rotational inertia of 600 kg m2 and a radius of 3.0 m is initially at rest. A 20 kg boy approaches the m
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

The velocity of the merry-go-round after the boy hops on the merry-go-round is 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

The rotational inertia of the merry-go-round = 600 kg·m²

The radius of the merry-go-round = 3.0 m

The mass of the boy = 20 kg

The speed with which the boy approaches the merry-go-round = 5.0 m/s

F_T \cdot r = I \cdot \alpha  = m \cdot r^2  \cdot \alpha

Where;

F_T = The tangential force

I =  The rotational inertia

m = The mass

α = The angular acceleration

r = The radius of the merry-go-round

For the merry go round, we have;

I_m \cdot \alpha_m  = I_m \cdot \dfrac{v_m}{r \cdot t}

I_m = The rotational inertia of the merry-go-round

\alpha _m = The angular acceleration of the merry-go-round

v _m = The linear velocity of the merry-go-round

t = The time of motion

For the boy, we have;

I_b \cdot \alpha_b  = m_b \cdot r^2  \cdot \dfrac{v_b}{r \cdot t}

Where;

I_b = The rotational inertia of the boy

\alpha _b = The angular acceleration of the boy

v _b = The linear velocity of the boy

t = The time of motion

When the boy jumps on the merry-go-round, we have;

I_m \cdot \dfrac{v_m}{r \cdot t} = m_b \cdot r^2  \cdot \dfrac{v_b}{r \cdot t}

Which gives;

v_m = \dfrac{m_b \cdot r^2  \cdot \dfrac{v_b}{r \cdot t} \cdot r \cdot t}{I_m} = \dfrac{m_b \cdot r^2  \cdot v_b}{I_m}

From which we have;

v_m =  \dfrac{20 \times 3^2  \times 5}{600} =  1.5

The velocity of the merry-go-round, v_m, after the boy hops on the merry-go-round = 1.5 m/s.
