Answer:

In the beginning, a roller coaster is still which means the forces acting upon the roller coaster are equal. But then as the rollar coaster starts to move upwards, the potential energy changes into kinetic energy since it is in motion. When the roller coaster reaches the top and stops, its kinetic energy immeadiately transforms into potential energy because it has potential to move and go fast. As the roller coaster descends, the potential energy transforms into kinetic energy. Hope this helps!

A certain man needed 400N of force to pull a load through a distance of 150cm in 8s . Calculatell i) the work done by man ii) th

Igoryamba

Answer:

a) 600 J

b) 75 W

Explanation:

Force= 400 N, distance = 150 cm = 1.5 m, time= 8s

a) Work is the product of force acting on an object and distance (or displacement). The S.I unit of work is the joules.

Work = force × distance = 400 × 1.5 = 600 J

b) Power is the amount of energy transferred per unit time. It is the ratio of work to time. The S.I unit of power is watt

Power = work/time = 600 / 8 = 75 W
