Answer:
1- For the track B. The potential energy is the same for the two cars, but because of the slope of the track, the car B earn kinetic energy faster. The gravitation acceleration of the cars will be g•sinθ, and the angle of the track B will have a bigger value for sinθ
2- The conservation of energy applies because the roller coaster is a closed track. When a car climb the track, it earn GPE, which is given by mgh, when it get down in the track, it transform GPE in KE, which is given in 1/2mv².
3-
Position of car (m) GPE KE GPE + KE
top (30m) 60000 0 60000
bottom (0m) 0 60000 60000
halfway down (15m) 30000 30000 60000
three-quarters way down 15000 45000 60000
Answer:
Explanation:
We have given mass m=0.155 kg
Force constant K = 305 N/m
Distance
Velocity
The total energy at any position of the motion is give by here
is energy due to motion and
is energy due to spring elongation
So total energy
Answer:
Ep = 3924 [J]
Explanation:
To calculate this value we must use the definition of potential energy which tells us that it is the product of mass by the acceleration of gravity by height.
where:
Ep = potential energy [J] (units of Joules)
m = mass = 40 [kg]
g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]
h = elevation = 10 [m]
