Kinetic and Potential Energy HistoryA roller coaster train going down hill represents merely a complex case as a body is descending an inclined plane. Newton's first two laws relate force and acceleration, which are key concepts in roller coaster physics. At amusement parks, Newton's laws can be applied to every ride. These rides range from 'The Swings' to The 'Hammer'. Newton was also one of the developers of calculus which is essential to analyzing falling bodies constrained on more complex paths than inclined planes. A roller coaster rider is in an gravitational field except with the Principle of Equivalence.Potential EnergyPotential energy is the same as stored energy. The "stored" energy is held within the gravitational field. When you lift a heavy object you exert energy which later will become kinetic energy when the object is dropped. A lift motor from a roller coaster exerts potential energy when lifting the train to the top of the hill. The higher the train is lifted by the motor the more potential energy is produced; thus, forming a greater amount if kinetic energy when the train is dropped. At the top of the hills the train has a huge amount of potential energy, but it <span>has very little kinetic energy.Kinetic Energy The word "kinetic" is derived from the Greek word meaning to move, and the word "energy" is the ability to move. Thus, "kinetic energy" is the energy of motion --it's ability to do work. The faster the body moves the more kinetic energy is produced. The greater the mass and speed of an object the more kinetic energy there will be. Hope this helped:))))</span>

Kinetic Energy is moving energy. And potential energy is air G that has the potential to be movie or not moving at all

What is the wavelength of light that is deviated in the first order through an angle of 13.1 ∘ by a transmission grating having
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The wavelength of light is 4.53\times10^{-7}\ m

Explanation:

Given that,

Angle = 13.1°

Number of slits = 5000

We need to calculate the wavelength of light

Diffraction of first order is defined as,

d \sin\theta=n\lambda.....(I)

The separation of the slits

d = \dfrac{1}{N}

d=\dfrac{1}{5000}

d=2\times10^{-6}\ m

Now put the value in equation (I)

2\times10^{-6}\sin13.1^{\circ}=\lambda

Here, n = 1

\lambda=4.53\times10^{-7}\ m

Hence, The wavelength of light is 4.53\times10^{-7}\ m

A billiard ball moves with 3 kg⋅m/s of momentum and strikes three other billiard balls. What is the total momentum of the balls
maxonik [38]

A billiard ball moves with 3 kg⋅m/s of momentum and strikes three other billiard balls that have been just sitting there at rest and not moving.

The total momentum of all four balls after the collision is <em>3 kg⋅m/s</em>, because momentum is not created or destroyed.  The total amount of it after an event is the same as the total amount of it before the event.

Mamont248 [21]

Solution

distance travelled by Chris

\Delta t=\frac{1}{3600}hr.

X_{c}= [(\frac{21+0}{2})+(\frac{33+21}{2})+(\frac{55+47}{2})+(\frac{63+55}{2})+(\frac{70+63}{2})+(\frac{76+70}{2})+(\frac{82+76}{2})+(\frac{87+82}{2})+(\frac{91+87}{2})]\times\frac{1}{3600}

=\frac{579.5}{3600}=0.161miles

Kelly,

\Delta t=\frac{1}{3600}hr.

X_{k}=[(\frac{24+0}{2})+(\frac{3+24}{2})+(\frac{55+39}{2})+(\frac{62+55}{2})+(\frac{71+62}{2})+(\frac{79+71}{2})+(\frac{85+79}{2})+(\frac{85+92}{2})+(\frac{99+92}{2})+(\frac{103+99}{2})]\times\frac{1}{3600}

=\frac{657.5}{3600}

\Delta X=X_{k}-X_{C}=0.021miles
