There are a couple of things happening while the coaster goes from the top of the hill to the bottom:

  • The coaster loses gravitational potential energy.
  • The coaster's loss in potential energy becomes its gain in kinetic energy.
  • The coaster's gain in kinetic energy causes it to speed up.
  • Maybe the coaster is also losing some of its newly gained kinetic energy to friction due to contact between the coaster's internal components and air resistance.

A 3.2 kg particle starts from rest at x = 0 and moves under the influence of a single force Fx = 4 + 15.7 x − 1.5 x 2 , where Fx
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work: This can be defined as the product of force and distance. The unit of work is Joules (J). it can be expressed mathematically as

W = F×d

or

W = \int\limits^b_a {Fx} \, dx.................................. Equation 1

Where b = upper limit, a = lower limit, Fx = expression of force.

<em>Given: a = 0 , b = 1.3 m, Fx = 4 + 15.7x - 1.5x²</em>

Substituting these values into equation 1

<em>W = \int\limits^a_b {(4 + 15.7x - 1.5x^{2} )dx} \,</em>

W = ᵇ[4x + 15.7x²/2-1.5x³/3 +C]ₐ

Work = upper limit - lower limit

Work = ᵃ[4x + 15.7x²/2 - 1.5x³/3 +C] - [4x + 15.7x²/2 + 1.5x³/3 +C]ᵇ............... Equation 2

Substituting the values of a and b into equation 2

Work = [4(1.3) + 15.7(1.3)²/2-1.5(1.3)³/3 + C] - [0 +C]

Work = [5.2 + 26.53 -3.29 + C] - C

Work = 28.44 J

Work done by the force = 28.44 J.

A snowball is thrown with an initial x velocity of 7.5 m/s and an initial y velocity of 8.4 m/s . Part A How much time is requir
elena55 [62]

In order to calculate the time taken by the snowball to reach the highest point in its journey, we need to consider the variables along the y-direction.

Let us list out what we know from the question so that we can decide on the equation to be used.

We know that Initial Y VelocityV_{iy} = 8.4 m/s

Acceleration in the Y direction a_{y} = -9.8 m/s^{2}, since the acceleration due to gravity points in the downward direction.

Final Y Velocity V_{fy} = 0 because at the highest point in its path, an object comes to rest momentarily before falling down.

Time taken t = ?

From the list above, it is easy to see that the equation that best suits our purpose here is V_{fy} = V_{iy} + a_{y}t

Plugging in the numbers, we get 0 = 8.4 - (9.8)t

Solving for t, we get t = 0.857 s

Therefore, the snowball takes 0.86 seconds to reach its highest point.

Car B starts at point X and moves clockwise around a circular track at a constant rate of 2 mph. Ten hours later, Car A leaves f
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

20.96 h

Explanation:

The perimeter of the track is 2*pi*r = 20pi miles

In 10 hours, car B would have moved 20miles. So, when Car A leaves from point X, car B is 20pi - 20 miles from point X counter-clockwise and car A.

From here, we can express the distance of A from X like this:

xa = 3t

And the distance of B would be:

xb = 20pi - 20 - 2t

The time t where they would passed each other and put  12 miles between them would be the one where xa - xb is equal to 12:

xa - xb = 12

3t - (20pi - 20 - 2t) = 12

5t = 20 pi - 8

t = (20pi - 8)/5 = 10.96 h

Remember to add this value to the 10 hours car B had already been racing:

t = 20.96h
