Answer:

Part A

1) At the starting point, we have;

PE = 40,000 J

2) PE = 0 J, KE = 40,000 J

3) KE = 20,000 J

4) PE = 15,000 J

5) KE = 32,500 J

6) KE = 40,000 J, PE = 0 J

7) KE = 35,000 J

8) KE = 40,000 J, PE = 0 J

Part B

The total Mechanical Energy = ME = 40,000 J

At the final point, we have;

ME = KE + PE = 40,000 J + 0 J = 40,000 J

Explanation:

Part A

By the law of conservation of energy, we have;

ME = PE + KE

Where;

ME = The total Mechanical Energy of the system

PE = The Potential Energy of the system

KE = The Kinetic Energy of the system

Where there is no friction, we have;

At the final stage, KE = 40,000 J. PE = 0 J

Therefore, ME = PE + KE = 40,000 J + 0 J = 40,000 J

1) At the starting point, we have;

KE = 0 J, therefore, PE = ME - KE = 40,000 J - 0 J = 40,000 J

2) At the bottom of the roller coaster, at the same level the PE is taken as PE = 0 J at the final stage, we have;

PE = 0 J, therefore, KE = ME - PE = 40,000 J - 0 J = 40,000 J

3) Where PE = 20,000 J, KE = ME - PE = 40,000 J - 20,000 J = 20,000 J

4) Where KE = 25,000 J, PE = ME - KE = 40,000 J - 25,000 J = 15,000 J

5) Where PE = 7,500 J, KE = ME - PE = 40,000 J - 7,500 J = 32,500 J

6) At the bottom KE = 40,000 J, PE = 0 J

7) Where PE = 5,000 J, KE = ME - PE = 40,000 J - 5,000 J = 35,000 J

8) KE = 40,000 J, PE = 0 J

Part B

The given that there is no friction nor air resistance, the total Mechanical Energy, ME, is constant and equal to the sum of the Potential Energy, PE and the Kinetic Energy, KE, as follows;

ME = KE + PE

At the final point, we have;

ME = 40,000 J + 0 J = 40,000 J

The total Mechanical Energy = ME = 40,000 J

A bus traveling at 8 m/s east has a constant increase in speed of 1.5 m/s2. What is its
mestny [16]

The velocity of the bus after 6.8 secs later will be ; 16.7 m/s

<u>Given data:</u>

Initial speed = 8 m/s

Increment speed = 1.5 m/s

Total time travelled = 6.8 s

<u>Determine the </u><u>final velocity</u><u> after 6.8 secs</u>

After 1 sec : speed = 8 m/s

After 2 secs : speed = 8 + 1.5

After 3 secs :  speed = 8 + 1.5 + 1.5

After 4 secs : speed = 8 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5

After 5 secs : speed = 8 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5

After 6 secs : speed = 8 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 =  15.5 m/s

∴ After 6.8 secs : speed = 15.5 + [ ( 1.5 / 10 ) * 8 ] = 16.7 m/s

Hence we can conclude that the velocity of the bus after 6.8 secs is 16.7m/s

#9). the <em>last </em>statement is true

Calculation using Ohm's Law:  

It helps a lot if you know what Ohm's Law says.

It says: Current = (voltage) / (resistance)

Current = (500 volts) / (250 ohms)

<em>Current = 2 Amperes</em>
