Answer:

As the car travels up the coaster it is gaining potential energy.

Explanation:

Because It has the greatest in amount of potential energy at the top of the coaster. when the car travels down the roller coaster it obtains speed and kinetic energy.

An green hoop with mass mh = 2.8 kg and radius rh = 0.17 m hangs from a string that goes over a blue solid disk pulley with mass

vladimir2022 [97]

The mass of the hoop is the only force which is computed by:F net = 2.8kg*9.81m/s^2 = 27.468 N
the slow masses that must be quicker are the pulley, ring, and the rolling sphere.
The mass correspondent of M the pulley is computed by torque τ = F*R = I*α = I*a/R F = M*a = I*a/R^2 --> M = I/R^2 = 21/2*m*R^2/R^2 = 1/2*m
The mass equal of the rolling sphere is computed by: the sphere revolves around the contact point with the table. So using the proposition of parallel axes, the moment of inertia of the sphere is I = 2/5*mR^2 for spin about the midpoint of mass + mR^2 for the distance of the axis of rotation from the center of mass of the sphere. I = 7/5*mR^2 M = 7/5*m
the acceleration is then a = F/m = 27.468/(2.8 + 1/2*2 + 7/5*4) = 27.468/9.4 = 2.922 m/s^2

Given that an electric field of 3×106V/m3×106V/m is required to produce an electrical spark within a volume of air, estimate the

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Length, l = 33.4 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Electrical field, $E=3\times 10^6\ V/m$

Let the electrical potential is, $V=10^8\ V$

We need to find the length of a thundercloud lightning bolt. The relation between electric field and the electric potential is given by :

$V=E\times d\\\\d=\dfrac{V}{E}\\\\d=\dfrac{10^8}{3\times 10^6}\\\\d=33.4\ m$

So, the length of a thundercloud lightning bolt is 33.4 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Calculate the translational speed of a cylinder when it reaches the foot of an incline 7.05 mm high. Assume it starts from rest

mestny [16]

Height is 7.05 m and not 7.05 mm

Answer:

9.603 m/s

Explanation:

We are dealing with rotation, so velocity of centre of mass is given by;

v_cm = Rω

Since we are working with a solid cylinder, moment of inertia of the cylinder is; I = ½mR²

Since it is rolled from the top to the bottom, at the top it will have potential energy(mgh) while at the bottom it will have kinetic energy (rotational plus translational kinetic energy).

Using conservation of energy, we have:

P.E = K.E_t + K.E_r

Formula for rotational and kinetic energy here are;

K.E_t = ½mv²

K.E_r = ½Iω²

mgh = ½mv² + ½Iω²

Since we want to find translational speed(v), let's get rid of ω.

Earlier, we saw that v_cm = Rω

Thus; ω = v/R

Also, we know that I = ½mR².

Thus;

mgh = ½mv² + ½(½mR²)(v/R)²

This gives;

mgh = ½mv² + ¼mv²

Divide through by m to get;

gh = v²(½ + ¼)

gh = ¾v²

Making v the subject gives;

v = √(4gh/3)

v = √((4 × 9.81 × 7.05)/3)

v = 9.603 m/s
