A 175-kg roller coaster car starts from rest at the top of an 18.0-m hill and rolls down the hill, then up a second hill that ha

s a height of 8.0 m. When the car reaches the top of the second hill, its speed is 11 m/s. Determine the work done by non-conservative forces on the car as it travels from the top of the first hill to the top of the second hill.

Answer:

The work done by non-conservative forces on the car from the top of the first hill to the top of the second hill is 6574.75 joules.

Explanation:

By Principle of Energy Conservation and Work-Energy Theorem we present the equations that describe the situation of the roller coaster car on each top of the hill. Let consider that bottom has a height of zero meters.

From top of the first hill to the bottom

m\cdot g \cdot h_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v_{1}^{2} +W_{1, loss} (1)

From the bottom to the top of the second hill

\frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v_{1}^{2} = m\cdot g \cdot h_{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{2}^{2}+W_{2,loss} (2)

Where:

m - Mass of the roller coaster car, in kilograms.

v_{1} - Speed of the roller coaster car at the bottom between the two hills, in meters per second.

g - Gravitational acceleration, in meters per square second.

h_{1} - Height of the first top of the hill with respect to the bottom, in meters.

W_{1, loss} - Work done by non-conservative forces on the car between the top of the first hill and the bottom, in joules.

v_{2} - Speed of the roller coaster car at the top of the second hill, in meters per seconds.

h_{2} - Height of the second top of the hill with respect to the bottom, in meters.

W_{2, loss} - Work done by non-conservative forces on the car bewteen the bottom between the two hills and the top of the second hill, in joules.

By using (1) and (2), we reduce the system of equation into a sole expression:

m\cdot g\cdot h_{1} = m\cdot g\cdot h_{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{2}^{2} + W_{loss} (3)

Where W_{loss} is the work done by non-conservative forces on the car from the top of the first hill to the top of the second hill, in joules.

If we know that m = 175\,kg, g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, h_{1} = 18\,m, h_{2} = 8\,m and v_{2} = 11\,\frac{m}{s}, then the work done by non-conservative force is:

W_{loss} = m\cdot\left[ g\cdot \left(h_{1}-h_{2}\right)-\frac{1}{2}\cdot v_{2}^{2} \right]

W_{loss} = 6574.75\,J

The work done by non-conservative forces on the car from the top of the first hill to the top of the second hill is 6574.75 joules.

What relationship between the sun and earth did copernicus formulate?
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The astronomical model created and published by Nicholas Copernicus in the year 1543 is called Copernican heliocentrism. The model set the Sun in immobile position near the center of the solar system with Earth, as well as the other planets, spherical, epicycled and at consistent frequencies around it.

ASAP if you answer right I will mark brainiest....
rjkz [21]

Answer: *The inner planet that has two moons is Mars * the only planet in the Solar System with clockwise rotation is Venus * The surface of Mercury is covered with ancient magma ( which is similar to the spews of volcanoes on  Earth as well) * The planet that is closest to Earth is Mercury * Venus has more volcanoes than any other planet * Earth's moon formed when a(n)  can sometimes be called the Big Splash or can be called the Theia impact (Luna the moon formed from the ejecta of the collision between the Proto- Earth and Mars sized planet) * Mars is called the red planet because it's soil contains the element iron oxide ( which is the compound that gives blood and rust hue)
