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 100,000 Joules of kinetic energy.

How do force affect the acceleration of a body?

Arada [10]

The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.

As the concentration of a solute in a solution increases, the freezing point of the solution ________ and the vapor pressure of

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

As the concentration of a solute in a solution increases, the freezing point of the solution decrease and the vapor pressure of the solution decrease .

Explanation:

Depression in freezing point :

$\Delta T_f=K_f\times m$

where,

$\Delta T_f$ =depression in freezing point =

$K_f$ = freezing point constant

m = molality ( moles per kg of solvent) of the solution

As we can see that from the formula that higher the molality of the solution is directly proportionate to the depression in freezing point which means that:

If molality of the solution in high the depression in freezing point of the solution will be more.
If molality of the solution in low the depression in freezing point of teh solution will be lower .

Relative lowering in vapor pressure of the solution is given by :

$\frac{p_o-p_s}{p_o}=\chi_{solute}$

$p_o$ = Vapor pressure of pure solvent

$p_s$ = Vapor pressure of solution

$\chi_{solute}$ = Mole fraction of solute

$p_s\propto \frac{1}{\chi_{solute}}$

Vapor pressure of the solution is inversely proportional to the mole fraction of solute.

Higher the concentration of solute more will the be solute's mole fraction and decrease in vapor pressure of the solution will be observed.
lower the concentration of solute more will the be solute's mole fraction and increase in vapor pressure of the solution will be observed.

A box is sliding down a ramp how many force vectors does the box have

vlada-n [284]

Well you’d have a force due to gravity, the normal force which will be perpendicular to the sources (meaning you’ll have components to this vector), and you’d have the force of friction opposing the motion of the box. I’m also assuming there’s no air resistance. In this case you’d have three vector forces.
