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.

How long must a simple pendulum be if it is to make exactly one swing per four seconds? (That is, one complete oscillation takes

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Length of the pendulum will be 3.987 m

Explanation:

We have given time period of the pendulum T = 8 sec

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.81m/sec^2$

We have to find the length of the simple pendulum

We know that time period of the simple pendulum is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$

$8=2\times 3.14 \sqrt{\frac{l}{9.81}}$

$l=3.987m$

So length of the pendulum will be 3.987 m

Blake and Sandra are having a rummage sale. Blake drags 3 boxes a distance of 10 meters each. He exerts a force of 20 newtons on

vampirchik [111]

For Blake:

3 boxes at a distance of 10 meters each, each box weighs 20 N

Work done by Blake = 3 * 10m * 20N
= 600 J
Power = 600 J/ 2 min
= 300 J/min

For Sandra:

4 boxes, 15 N each at a distance of 12 meters each.

Work done by Sandra = 4 * 15 N *12m
= 720 J
Power = 720 J/ 4 min
= 180 J/min

Blake does less work than Sandra.
Blake's power is more than Sandra's.

2/27

Explanation:

The elk can not be eaten so we remove that from the probablity

so we have x/18

songbird = 4/18

mice = 6/18

4/18*6/18 = 2/27

if the radius of the capillary tube is doubled, what changes will take place in the hieght of rise of liquid with capacity tube

tangare [24]

Explanation:

The height of the rise of liquid with capillary tube is given by the formula as follows :

$h=\dfrac{2S\cos\theta}{r\rho g}$

Where

r is radius

It is clear that the height of the rise of liquid is inversely proportional to the radius of the capillary tube.

If the radius of the capillary tube is doubled, it means the height of rise of liquid with capillary tube become half.
