if the roller coaster is 127 meters tall and has 622,300 J of potential energy how much does it weigh/ what is the mass?

Physics
1 answer:
Xelga [282]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

500 kg

Explanation:

using the formula Potential energy (p.e)=mgh where g= acceleration due to gravity whose value is 9.8

so,pe =mgh

622300=m*9.8*127

m=500kg

One horse is pulling a 755 kg sled straight ahead applying a force of 1988 N. If the acceleration of the sled is 1.36 m/s2, what
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.13

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force on it, the factor of proportionality is the mass. So, we can express that law mathematically as:

\sum\overrightarrow{F}=m\overrightarrow{a} (1)

With F the net force, m the mass and a the acceleration of the object. In our case we're interested on what's happening to the sled, then we have to analyze the forces on it, those forces are the weight and the normal force on the vertical direction and the pulling force and frictional force in the horizontal direction. So, because (1) is a vector equation we can express that in their vertical (y) and horizontal (x) components:

F_y=ma_y (2)

F_x=ma_x (3)

On y we have that the acceleration is zero because the sled is not moving upward or downward, remember that the net force on y is the weight (W) pointing downward and the normal force pointing upward:

F_y=W+n=0

Following the convention that positive is upward and negative downward, W=mg=(755)(-9.81):

F_y=(755)(-9.81)+n=0

n=7406.55 N (4)

Now on the x direction we have the sum of the forces is the pulling force (T) and friction force (f)

F_x=F+f=ma_x

Choosing the direction where the horse is pulling F=1988N and the acceleration should be positive too, then:

1988+f=m(1.36)

f=(755)(1.36)-1988=-961.2 N

The negative sign means it's in the opposite direction the horse is pulling

The frictional force is related with the coefficient of kinetic friction in the next way:

|f|=\mu_k n

with μk the coefficient of kinetic friction, and n the normal force that we already found on (4), so we simply solve the last equation for μk:

\mu_k=\frac{|f|}{n}=\frac{961.2}{7406.55}=0.13

A sound wave has a speed of 330m/s and a wavelength of 0.372 m. what is the frequency of the wave?
Alja [10]

Answer:

887.1Hz

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed of sound wave  = 330m/s

Wavelength  = 0.372m

Unknown:

Frequency  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

             Speed  = Frequency x wavelength

            330  = Frequency x 0.372

   Frequency  = 887.1Hz
