20 POINTS: Why does the initial hill of a roller coaster need to be steep?

2 answers:

6 0

A roller coaster does not have a engine to generate energy they climb up the first hill is accomplished. by a lift or a cable that pulls the train up . this builds a supply of potential energy that will be used to go down the coaster.

Answer: A roller coaster does not have an engine to generate energy. The climb up the first hill is accomplished by a lift or cable that pulls the train up. This builds up a supply of potential energy that will be used to go down the hill as the train is pulled by gravity

Hope this helps! Good luck with future homework and exams!

An apple is whirled round in a horizontal circle on the end of a string which is tied to the stalk. It is whirled faster and fas

jek_recluse [69]

when the apple moves in a horizontal circle, the tension force in the string provides the necessary centripetal force to move in circle. the tension in the string is given as

T=mv²/r

where T = tension force in the string , m = mass of the apple

v = speed of apple , r = radius of circle.

clearly , tension force depends on the square of the speed. hence greater the speed, greater will be the tension force.

at some point , the speed becomes large enough that it makes the tension force in the string becomes greater than the tensile strength of the string. at that point , the string breaks

2 resistors of resistance 1000 ohm and 2000 ohm are joined in series with a 100V supply. A voltmeter of internal resistance 4000

Vadim26 [7]

<h2>The voltmeter reading will be 35.7 volt </h2>

Explanation:

The resistor 1000 ohm and 4000 ohm are connected in parallel .

Their combined resistance is supposed R₁

Thus $\frac{1}{R_1}$ = $\frac{1}{1000}$ + $\frac{1}{4000}$

or R₁ = 800 ohm

Therefore the total resistance in circuit is = 2000 + 800 = 2800 ohm

Because these are in series .

We can find current flowing through the circuit I = $\frac{V}{R}$ = $\frac{100}{2800}$ = $\frac{1}{28}$

here R is total resistance .

The potential difference across 1000 ohm = $\frac{1}{28}$ x 1000 = 35.7 volt

Thus voltmeter reading will be 35.7 volt

Answer:

the spring constant k = $5.409*10^4 \ N/m$

the value for the damping constant $\\ \\b = 1.518 *10^3 \ kg/s$

Explanation:

From Hooke's Law

$F = kx\\\\k =\frac{F}{x}\\\\where \ F = mg\\\\k = \frac{mg}{x}\\\\given \ that:\\\\mass \ of \ each \ wheel = 425 \ kg\\\\x = 7.7cm = 0.077 m\\\\g = 9.8 \ m/s^2\\\\Then;\\\\k = \frac{425 \ kg * 9.8 \ m/s^2}{0.077 \ m}\\\\k = 5.409*10^4 \ N/m$

Thus; the spring constant k = $5.409*10^4 \ N/m$

The amplitude is decreasing 37% during one period of the motion

$e^{\frac{-bT}{2m}}= \frac{37}{100}\\\\e^{\frac{-bT}{2m}}= 0.37\\\\\frac{-bT}{2m} = In(0.37)\\\\\frac{-bT}{2m} = -0.9943\\\\b = \frac{2m(0.9943)}{T}\\\\b = \frac{2m(0.9943)}{\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}}\\\\b = \frac{m(0.9943) \ ( \omega) )}{ \pi}$

$b = \frac{m(0.9943)(\sqrt{\frac{k}{m})}}{\pi}\\\\b = \frac{425*(0.9943)(\sqrt{\frac{5.409*10^4}{425}) } }{3.14}\\\\b = 1518.24 \ kg/s\\\\b = 1.518 *10^3 \ kg/s$

Therefore; the value for the damping constant $\\ \\b = 1.518 *10^3 \ kg/s$

What does this mean?

Alexeev081 [22]

Well, in some systems the atoms melt or burn or change state like from liquid to gases when they reach a certain temperature. This could decrease the energy in the system.
