Students are asked to create roller coasters for marbles. Their goal is to design a coaster with the tallest possible hill that

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Kinetic Energy.

Explanation:

The movement of a roller coaster is accomplished by the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy. The roller coaster cars gain potential energy as they are pulled to the top of the first hill. As the cars descend the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

A piece of wire 29 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an equilateral tria

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Total length of the wire is 29 m.

Let the length of one piece is d and of another piece is 29 - d.

Let d is used to make a square.

And 29 - d is used to make an equilateral triangle.

(a)

Area of square = d²

Area of equilateral triangle = √3(29 - d)²/4

Total area,

$A = d^{2}+\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\left ( 29-d \right )^{2}$

Differentiate both sides with respect to d.

$\frac{dA}{dt}=2d- \frac{\sqrt3}{4}\times 2(29-d)$

For maxima and minima, dA/dt = 0

d = 8.76 m

Differentiate again we get the

$\frac{d^{2}A}{dt^{2}}= + ve$

(a) So, the area is maximum when the side of square is 29 m

(b) so, the area is minimum when the side of square is 8.76 m

Engineers are designing a curved section of a highway. If the radius of curvature of the curve is 194 m, at what angle should th

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The banking angle is 23.84 degrees.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the curve, r = 194 m

Speed of the car, v = 29 m/s

On the banked curve, the centripetal force is balanced by the force of friction such that,

$mg\ tan\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$tan\theta=\dfrac{v^2}{rg}$

$tan\theta=\dfrac{(29)^2}{194\times 9.8}$

$\theta=23.84^{\circ}$

So, the banking angle is 23.84 degrees. Hence, this is the required solution.

100 POINTS!!! :D

charle [14.2K]

Explanation:

... in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the force on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs.
