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.

A positive kaon (K+) has a rest mass of 494 MeV/c² , whereas a proton has a rest mass of 938 MeV/c². If a kaon has a total energ

Answer:

0.85c

Explanation:

Rest mass of Kaon $M_{0K}$ = 494 MeV/c²

Rest mass of proton $M_{0P}$ = 938 MeV/c²

The rest energy is gotten by multiplying the rest mass by the square of the speed of light c²

for the kaon, rest energy $E_{0K}$ = 494c² MeV

for the proton, rest energy $E_{0P}$ = 938c² MeV

Recall that the rest energy, and the total energy are related by..

$E$ = γ $E_{0}$

which can be written in this case as

$E_{K}$ = γ $E_{0K}$ ...... equ 1

where $E$ = total energy of the kaon, and

$E_{0}$ = rest energy of the kaon

γ = relativistic factor = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} } }$

where $\beta = \frac{v}{c}$

But, it is stated that the total energy of the kaon is equal to the rest mass of the proton or its equivalent rest energy, therefore...

$E_{K}$ = $E_{0P}$ ......equ 2

where $E_{K}$ is the total energy of the kaon, and

$E_{0P}$ is the rest energy of the proton.

From $E_{K}$ = $E_{0P}$ = 938c²

equ 1 becomes

938c² = γ494c²

γ = 938c²/494c² = 1.89

γ = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} } }$ = 1.89

1.89 $\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} }$ = 1

squaring both sides, we get

3.57( 1 - $\beta^{2}$ ) = 1

3.57 - 3.57 $\beta^{2}$ = 1

2.57 = 3.57 $\beta^{2}$

$\beta^{2}$ = 2.57/3.57 = 0.72

$\beta = \sqrt{0.72}$ = 0.85

but, $\beta = \frac{v}{c}$

v/c = 0.85

v = 0.85c

Do heavier objects fall more slowly than lighter objects?

aksik [14]

Think of it like this, gravity has to pull harder on the heavier object to make them fall at the same rate , but doesn't have to pull as hard for the lighter object , thus is why sometimes heavier objects fall faster then lighter ones

Arocket launches at an angle of 33.6 degrees from the horizontal at a

babymother [125]

Answer:

Y component = 32.37

Explanation:

Given:

Angle of projection of the rocket is, $\theta=33.6$

Initial velocity of the rocket is, $u=58.5$

A vector at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal can be resolved into mutually perpendicular components; one along the horizontal direction and the other along the vertical direction.

If a vector 'A' makes angle $\theta$ with the horizontal, then the horizontal and vertical components are given as:

$A_x=A\cos \theta(\textrm{Horizontal or X component})\\A_y=A\sin \theta(\textrm{Vertical or Y component})$

Here, as the velocity is a vector quantity and makes an angle of 33.6 with the horizontal, its Y component is given as:

$u_y=u\sin \theta$

Plug in the given values and solve for $u_y$ . This gives,

$u_y=(58.5)(\sin 33.6)\\u_y=58.5\times 0.55339\\u_y=32.373\approx32.37(\textrm{Rounded to two decimal places})$

Therefore, the Y component of initial velocity is 32.37.

amid [387]

A. Rocket A will travel farther horizontally than rocket B.

This is because from the x axis, 40 m/s at 90 degrees travels directly vertical. 40 m/s at 70 degrees is slightly horizontal, so it will travel further horizontally.
