Answer:
The answer to the question is
The roller coaster will reach point B with a speed of 14.72 m/s
Explanation:
Considering both kinetic energy KE = 1/2×m×v² and potential energy PE = m×g×h
Where m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
h = starting height of the roller coaster
we have the given variables
h₁ = 36 m,
h₂ = 13 m,
h₃ = 30 m
v₁ = 1.00 m/s
Total energy at point 1 = 0.5·m·v₁² + m·g·h₁
= 0.5 m×1² + m×9.81×36
=353.66·m
Total energy at point 2 = 0.5·m·v₂² + m·g·h₂
= 0.5×m×v₂² + 9.81 × 13 × m = 0.5·m·v₂² + 127.53·m
The total energy at 1 and 2 are not equal due to the frictional force which must be considered
Total energy at point 2 = Total energy at point 1 + work done against friction
Friction work = F×d×cosθ = (
× mg)×60×cos 180 = -117.72m
0.5·m·v₂² + 127.53·m = 353.66·m -117.72m
0.5·m·v₂² = 108.41×m
v₂² = 216.82
v₂ = 14.72 m/s
The roller coaster will reach point B with a speed of 14.72 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of rock, m = 2.35-kg
It was released from rest at a height of 21.4 m.
(a) The kinetic energy is given by : 
As the rock was at rest initially, it means, its kinetic energy is equal to 0.
(b) The gravitational potential energy is given by : 
It can be calculated as :

(c) The mechanical energy is equal to the sum of kinetic and potential energy such that,
M = 0 J + 492.84 J
M = 492.84 J
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
Its acceleration is positive
Explanation:
As the car is moving in the negative x-direction than after applying brake then there will be a decrease in the acceleration but in the opposite direction.
As decreasing acceleration consider to be negative but the car is moving in negative direction which means increasing acceleration is negative by sign convention but by applying brake acceleration decrease but in opposite direction than it will give positive value of acceleration.
