A motor pulls an 800 kg roller coaster train to the top of a 70 m hill. What is the change in the potential energy of the cars?

Physics
1 answer:
Angelina_Jolie [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

548800J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of roller coaster  = 800kg

Height of hill  = 70m

Unknown:

Change in potential energy  = ?

Solution:

The change in potential energy is the difference between the potential energy at the bottom and at the top.

Potential energy at the bottom is 0J

  So;

      Change in potential energy  = mgh - 0

m is the mass, g is the acceleration, h is the height

  Change in potential energy  = 800 x 9.8 x 70  = 548800J

"Which of the following statements about electrons is not true?
gogolik [260]

Answer:

B) Within an atom, an electron can have only particular energies.

Explanation:

As we know that electrons have energy but apart from electrons we know that protons and neutrons inside the nucleus of atom will also have energy in them.

rest all the statements are true as we have

A) Electrons orbit the nucleus rather like planets orbiting the Sun.

TRUE, because electrons can move in stationary orbit around the nucleus

C) Electrons can jump between energy levels in an atom only if they receive or give up an amount of energy equal to the difference in energy between the energy levels.

Difference amount of energy is lost or absorbed by the electron in form of photons

D) An electron has a negative electrical charge.

Charge of an electron is given as -1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

E) Electrons have very little mass compared to protons or neutrons

Mass of an electron is given as

m_e = 9.11 \times 10^{-31} kg

mass of proton or neutron

m_p = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} kg

A sprinter completes a 400m race (one lap around the track). Mr Borst thinks the magnitudes of her distance and displacement are
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Displacement is how far between your initial and finishing position.

If one lap around the track is 400 m and the sprinter ran 1 lap around the track. Then the sprinter's distance is 400 m and their displacement is 0 m

If the sprinter ran 400 m in a straight line however, then it would be equal.

But since the sprinter ran 1 lap around there is no displacement.

I hope this helped you...

An object is initially moving at an unknown velocity. It accelerates at a rate of 2.0 m/s2 to a new velocity of 45 m/s in 10s. W
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Initial velocity=25m/s

Explanation:

acceleration(a)=2m/s^2

Final velocity(v)=45m/s

Time(t)=10seconds

Initial velocity(u)=?

V=u+axt

45=u+2x10

45=u+20

u=45-20

u=25m/s

A weightless spring is stretched 10 cm by a suspended 1-kg block. If two such springs are used to suspend the block, one spring
leva [86]

Answer:

total stretch of the double-length spring will be 20 cm

Explanation:

given data

length x1 = 10 cm

mass = 1 kg

mass = double = 2 kg

to find out

the total stretch of the double-length spring will be

solution

we can say here spring constant is

k = mg    ............1

k is spring constant and m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity

so for in 1st case and 2nd case with 1 kg mass and 2 kg mass

kx1 = mg   .........................2

and

kx2 = 2mg   ........................3

x is length

so from equation 2 and 3

\frac{kx1}{kx2}= \frac{1mg}{2mg}

\frac{x1}{x2} = \frac{1}{2}

\frac{10}{x2} = \frac{1}{2}

x2 = 20

so total stretch of the double-length spring will be 20 cm
