Determine the kinetic energy of a 2000 kg roller coaster car that is moving at the speed of 10 ms

Physics

kondaur [170]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 100,000 \ Joules}}

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is energy due to motion. The formula is half the product of mass and velocity squared.

E_k= \frac{1}{2} mv^2

The mass of the roller coaster car is 2000 kilograms and the car is moving 10 meters per second.

  • m= 2000 kg
  • s= 10 m/s

Substitute these values into the formula.

E_k= \frac{1}{2} (2000 \ kg ) \times (10 \ m/s)^2

Solve the exponent.

  • (10 m/s)²= 10 m/s * 10 m/s= 100 m²/s²

E_k= \frac{1}{2} (2000 \ kg ) \times (100 \ m^2/s^2)

Multiply the first two numbers together.

E_k= 1000 \ kg  \times (100 \ m^2/s^2)

Multiply again.

E_k= 100,000 \ kg*m^2/s^2

  • 1 kilogram square meter per square second is equal to 1 Joule.
  • Our answer of 100,000 kg*m²/s² is equal to 100,000 Joules.

E_k= 100,000 \ J

The roller coaster car has <u>100,000 Joules</u> of kinetic energy.

A pillow with mass of 0.3 kg sits on a bed with a coefficient of static friction of 0.6. What is the maximum force of static fri
lys-0071 [83]
The maximum force of static friction is the product of normal force (P) and the coefficient of static friction (c). In a flat surface, normal force is equal to the weight (W) of the body. 
 
                        P = W = mass x acceleration due to gravity
    
                    P = (0.3 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 2.94 kg m/s² = 2.94 N

Solving for the static friction force (F), 
                                              F = P x c 
 
                                      F = (2.94 N) x 0.6 = 1.794 N

Therefore, the maximum force of static friction is 1.794 N.

A woman climbs up a ladder in 1.37 s at 2.20 m/s. How tall is the ladder?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

The ladder is 3.014 m tall.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we must use the following formula:

v = x/t

where v represents the woman’s velocity, x represents the distance she climbed (the height of the ladder), and t represents the time it took her to move this distance

If we plug in the values we are given for the problem, we get:

v = x/t

2.20 = x/1.37

To solve this equation for x (the height of the ladder), we must multiply both sides by 1.37. If we do this, we get:

x = (2.20 * 1.37)

x = 3.014 m

Therefore, the ladder is 3.014 m tall.

Hope this helps!
