On a roller coaster, the greatest potential energy is at the highest point of the roller coaster
Constant velocity means the netto force = 0, therefore F(gravity) = F(astronaut).
175N divided by 87,5kg = 2.00kg/N
Answer:
a) 2.87 m/s
b) 3.23 m/s
Explanation:
The avergare velocity can be found dividing the length traveled d by the total time t.
a)
For the first part we easily know the total traveled length which is:
d = 50.2 m + 50.2 m = 100.4 m
The time can be found dividing the distance by the velocity:
t1 = 50.2 m / 2.21 m/s = 22.7149 s
t2 = 50.2 m / 4.11 m/s = 12.2141 s
t = t1 +t2 = 34.9290 s
Therefore, the average velocity is:
v = d/t =2.87 m/s
b)
Here we can easily know the total time:
t = 1 min + 1.16 min = 129.6 s
Now the distance wil be found multiplying each velocity by the time it has travelled:
d1 = 2.21 m/s * 60 s = 132.6 m
d2 = 4.11 m/s *(1.16 * 60 s) = 286.056 m
d = 418.656 m
Therefore, the average velocity is:
v = d/t =3.23 m/s
Answer:
Net Force = 10N
Acceleration = 2m/s^2
Explanation:
calculate the net force and the acceleration on the block
Net force on the block F = mass * acceleration
Net force acting in the positive direction = 4N + 6N = 10N
Mass = 5kg
According to newton's second law;
a = F/m
a = 10N/5
a = 2m/s^2
hence the acceleration on the block is 2m/s^2
I don't like the wording of any of the choices on the list.
SONAR generates a short pulse of sound, like a 'peep' or a 'ping',
focused in one direction. If there's a solid object in that direction,
then some of the sound that hits it gets reflected back, toward the
source. The source listens to hear if any of the sound that it sent
out returns to it. If it hears its own 'ping' come back, it measures
the time it took for the sound to go out and come back. That tells
the SONAR equipment that there IS a solid object in that direction,
and also HOW FAR away it is.
RADAR works exactly the same way, except RADAR uses radio waves.
