Answer:

15m

Explanation:

Given that a roller coaster starts from rest at A, rolls down the track to B, describes a circular loop of 12-m diameter, and travels up and down past point E. Determine the range of values of h for which the roller coaster will not leave the track at D or E. Assume no energy loss due to friction

Solution

At point A

The maximum potential energy = maximum K.E

At point A, the total energy = maximum P.E.

Down the track to point B, the P.E will be converted to maximum K.E.

Hence,

Mgh = 1/2mv^2

Also, the total energy at the roller coaster will be P.E + K.E

I.e mg2r + 1/2mv^2

Where 2r = height of the loop = diameter of the loop.

Since the energy is always conserved, hence

Mgh = mg2r + 1/2mv^2

Let also consider the centripetal acceleration to keep the object in the circle.

F = mV^2 / r = mg

Mass will cancel out

U^2 = rg

Substitute that in the last equation

Mgh = mg2r + 1/2mgr

mgh = mg ( 2r + 1/2r )

Mg will cancel out

h = 2.5r

Where r = 12/2 = 6

h = 2.5 × 6

h = 15m

Therefore, the values of h for which the roller coaster will not leave the track at D or E is 15m.

A parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a potential difference of 71.0 V. Determine the potential difference
Gwar [14]

Answer:

15.8 V

Explanation:

The relationship between capacitance and potential difference across a capacitor is:

q=CV

where

q is the charge stored on the capacitor

C is the capacitance

V is the potential difference

Here we call C and V the initial capacitance and potential difference across the capacitor, so that the initial charge stored is q.

Later, a dielectric material is inserted between the two plates, so the capacitance changes according to

C'=kC

where k is the dielectric constant of the material. As a result, the potential difference will change (V'). Since the charge stored by the capacitor remains constant,

q=C'V'

So we can combine the two equations:

CV=CV'\\CV=(kC)V'\\V'=\frac{V}{k}

and since we have

V = 71.0 V

k = 4.50

We find the new potential difference:

V'=\frac{71.0}{4.50}=15.8 V

What is the average power output pf a weight lifter who can lift 250 kg 2.0 m in 2.0 s
liq [111]

Answer:

Power = 2.45Kw or 2450 Watts.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass, m = 250kg

Height, h = 2m

Time, t = 2secs

We know that acceleration due to gravity, g is equal to 9.8m/s²

Power can be defined as the energy required to do work per unit time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Power = \frac {Energy}{time}

But Energy = mgh

Substituting into the equation, we have

Power = \frac {mgh}{time}

Power = \frac {250*9.8*2}{2}

Power = \frac {4900}{2}

Power = 2450 Watts

To convert to kilowatt (Kw), we would divide by 1000

Power = 2450/1000

Power = 2.45Kw.

Therefore, the average power output of the weightlifter is 2.45 Kilowatts.

If you wanted the pitch of a horn to drop relative to an observer, which way would you move the horn, relative to where that obs
Vladimir [108]
We assume that horn releases sound of constant frequency. In order for observer to observe different frequency either horn or observer or both must move.

This happens due to Doppler effect. It states that when position of source of sound and observer relative to each other changes, the observed frequency also changes. If the source emits sound of constant frequency than observed frequency will be either higher or lower than original.

When distance between source and observer increases the observed frequency will be lower. This is because same number of sound waves must cover greater distance so they have greater wavelength.
When distance between source and observer decreases the observed frequency will be higher. This is because same number of sound waves must cover smaller distance so they have smaller wavelength. 

Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional meaning when one increases the other drecreases.

From this explanation we can find answer for our question. <span>If we wanted the pitch of a horn to drop relative to an observer we need to move horn away from an observer.</span>
