Answer:

A kiddie roller coaster car has a mass 100 kilograms. At the top of a hill, it’s moving at a speed of 3 meters/second. After reaching the bottom of the hill, its speed doubles. The car’s kinetic energy at the bottom is quadruple its kinetic energy at the top. The car has 1,800 joules of kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill.

Explanation:

I just took a Post Test on Edmentum over Energy :)

Good Luck!! :D

Answer:

The car’s kinetic energy at the bottom is 4 times its kinetic energy at the top. The car has 1800 joules of kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill.

Answer:

(A) Speed will be $44.18\times 10^4m/sec$

(b) Change in kinetic energy = $1560\times 10^{-19}$

Explanation:

We have given mass of proton $m=1.67\times 10^{-27}kg$

Acceleration of the proton $a=2.50\times 10^{12}m/sec^2$

Initial velocity u = $1.60\times 10^4$ m/sec

Distance traveled by proton s = 3.90 cm = 0.039 m

(a) From third equation of motion we know that

$v^2=u^2+2as$

$v^2=(1.60\times 10^4)^2+2\times 2.5\times 10^{12}\times 0.039$

$v=44.18\times 10^4m/sec$

(b) Initial kinetic energy $KE_I=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times (1.6\times 10^4)^2$

Final kinetic energy $KE_F=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times (44.18\times 10^4)^2$

So change in kinetic energy $\Delta KE=KE_F-KE_I=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.6\times 10^{-27}\times 10^8\times (44.18^2-1.6^2)=1560\times 10^{-19}J$

Accelerating car is a _______

Pavel [41]

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity as a function of time. For example a car traveling at 50 km/hr starts to accelerate, 10 seconds after, its speed changes to 100 km/hr then the acceleration of the car during the time can be calculated as below: initial speed = 50 km/hr.
