Answer:

200000 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) of roller coaster = 1000 Kg

Velocity (v) of roller coaster = 20 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

Kinetic energy is simply defined as the energy possess by an object in motion. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

KE = ½mv²

Where

KE => is the kinetic energy.

m =>is the mass of the object

V => it the velocity of the object.

With the above formula, we can obtain the kinetic energy of the roller coaster as follow:

Mass (m) of roller coaster = 1000 Kg

Velocity (v) of roller coaster = 20 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 1000 × 20²

KE = 500 × 400

KE = 200000 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the roller coaster is 200000 J.

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:103 pounds

Explanation:

Given

width of window $b=35 in.$

height of window $h=20 in.$

standard atmospheric pressure $P_{outside}=14.7 psi$

Also $P_{inside}=1.01P_{outside}$

Thus Net Force on the window will be the algebraic sum of Force due to outside and inside Pressure .

$F_{net}=(P_{inside}-P_{outside})\cdot A$

$F_{net}=P_{outside}(1.01-1)\times 35\times 20$

$F_{net}=14.7\times 0.01\times 35\times 20$

$F_{net}=102.9\ pounds\approx 103\ pounds$

A person has legs of length L = 1.10 m. (a) If the maximum angle between the legs during walking is ϕ = 50o , what is the person

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

a). Maximum Length L=0.929m

b). T=0.83 Hz or 1.2s

c). Longer, the effortless waling T=2.1 Hz or t=0.475s

d). t=1.2s V=0.774 $\frac{m}{s}$

t=0.475s V=1.95 $\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Length legs=L=1.1m

angle=50

the step that give the person forms a triangle whose two sides are known and the angle that forms between them, then using trigonometry as the image

Divide the original triangle in two and form a right triangle so the angle is 25 and the L is hypotenuse and the opposite is the step length

a).

$sin(\alpha) =\frac{op}{h}$

$op=h*sin(\frac{\alpha }{2})\\ op=1.1m*sin(\frac{50}{2})\\op=0.464m$

Length of the step

L=0.464m*2

L=0.928m

b).

period=T

$T=\frac{1}{time}=\frac{1}{t}\\ T=\frac{1}{1.2s}\\T=0.83 s^{-1}\\ T=0.83Hz$

c).

$T1=2\pi *\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \\T1=2\pi *\sqrt{\frac{1.1m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}\\ T1=2.1 Hz$

The period is the inverse of the time of the motion so, the T1 is faster that the T because

$t=\frac{1}{T1}=t= \frac{1}{2.1}=0.47s$

d).

The speed is the relation between the distance with time so:

$Vt=\frac{0.928m}{1.2s} \\Vt=0.773 \frac{m}{s} \\Vt=\frac{0.928m}{0.475s} \\Vt=1.953 \frac{m}{s}$

Sauron [17]

Power is defined as

P = I*V

where I is the current and V is the voltage

Ohm's law gives us the relation betwen Voltage and current in a resistive component

V = I*R , Then

P = V² / R

We solve for R,

R = (110 V)²/ 75W = 161.33 ohms
