Determine the kinetic energy of a 1000 kg roller coaster car that is moving with speed of 40.0 m/s

1 answer:

ololo11 [35]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

KE=800,000

Explanation:

The formula for kinetic energy is KE=1/2mv^2 or Kinetic Energy= 0.5*mass*velocity^2

so 1000 is the mass and 40 is the velocity

KE=0.5*1000*40^2

KE=0.5*1,000*1,600

KE=800,000 Joules

3. Write any two types of force.

Lerok [7]

Answer:

An <u>applied force</u> is a force that is applied to an object by a person or another object. If a person is pushing a desk across the room, then there is an applied force acting upon the object. The applied force is the force exerted on the desk by the person.

A <u>friction force</u> is the force exerted by a surface as an object moves across it or makes an effort to move across it. There are at least two types of friction force - sliding and static friction. Though it is not always the case, the friction force often opposes the motion of an object. For example, if a book slides across the surface of a desk, then the desk exerts a friction force in the opposite direction of its motion. Friction results from the two surfaces being pressed together closely, causing intermolecular attractive forces between molecules of different surfaces. As such, friction depends upon the nature of the two surfaces and upon the degree to which they are pressed together. The maximum amount of friction force that a surface can exert upon an object can be calculated using the formula below:

$F_{frict}$ = µ • $F_{norm}$

Calculate the acceleration of a car if it's velocity increases from 15 m/s to 75m/s in 5 seconds.

Andreas93 [3]

initial velocity=u=15m/s
Final velocity=v=75m/s
Time=t=5s

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{75-15}{5}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{60}{5}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=12m/s^2$

Verify that the SI unit of impulse is the same as the SI unit of momentum.

lys-0071 [83]

Maybe this will help you out:

Momentum is calculate by the formula:

$P = mv$

Where:

P = momentum

m = mass

v = velocity

The SI unit:

$mass = kg\\ velocity = \dfrac{m}{s}$

So the unit of momentum would be:

$kg.\dfrac{m}{s}$

Impulse is defined as the change in momentum or how much force changes momentum. It can be calculate with the formula:

I = FΔt

where:

I = impulse

F = Force

Δt = change in time

The SI unit:

F = Newtons (N) or $kg.\dfrac{m}{s^{2} }$

t = Seconds (s)

So the unit of impulse would be derived this way:

I = FΔt

I = $kg.\dfrac{m}{s^{2} }$ x $s$

or

$\dfrac{kg.m.s}{s^{2}} = \dfrac{kg.m.s}{s.s}$

You can then cancel out one s each from the numerator and denominator and you'll be left with:

$kg.\dfrac{m}{s}$

So then:

Momentum: Impulse

$kg.\dfrac{m}{s}$ $kg.\dfrac{m}{s}$

A 1000-kg car is driving toward the north along a straight horizontal road at a speed of 20.0 m/s. The driver applies the brakes

Nitella [24]

Answer:

The value of F= - 830 N

Since the force is negative, it implies direction of the force applied was due south.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass = 1000-kg

Distance, d = 240 m

Initial velocity, v1 = 20.0 m/s

Final velocity, v2 = 0 (since the car came to rest after brake was applied)

v2²= v1² + 2ad (using one of the equation of motion)

0= 20² + (2 x a x 240)

0= 400 + 480 a

a = - 400/480

a = - 0.83 m/s²

Then, imputing the value of a into

F = ma

F = 1000 kg x ( - 0.83 m/s²)

F= - 830 N

The car was driving toward the north, and since the force is negative, it implies direction of the force applied was due south.
