11. A roller coaster car is moving slowly up a long ramp to the very top of the roller coaster. It goes over the top and starts

down a steep slope and it picks up speed rapidly as it rolls down an almost vertical slope. Four seconds later, at the bottom of the steep slope, its velocity is 28 m/s. The average acceleration during those 4 seconds was 6 m/s2 . What was the initial velocity of the roller coaster car as it started down the slope?

Answer:

a = (v2 - v1) / t

a t = v2 - v1

v1 = v2 - a t

v1 = 28 m/s - 6 m/s^2 * 4 s = 4 m/s

A space probe has two engines. Each generates the same amount of force when fired, and the directions of these forces can be in-
Leto [7]

Answer:

t = 39.60 s

Explanation:

Let's take a careful look at this interesting exercise.

In the first case the two motors apply the force in the same direction

            F = m a₀          

           a₀ = F / m

with this acceleration it takes t = 28s to travel a distance, starting from rest

           x = v₀ t + ½ a t²

           x = ½ a₀ t²

           t² = 2x / a₀

           28² = 2x /a₀          (1)

in a second case the two motors apply perpendicular forces

we can analyze this situation as two independent movements, one in each direction

           

in the direction of axis a, there is a motor so its force is F/2

               

the acceleration on this axis is

          a = F/2m

          a = a₀ / 2

so if we use the distance equation

             x = v₀ t + ½ a t²

as part of rest v₀ = 0

             x = ½ (a₀ / 2) t²

             

let's clear the time

             t² = (2x / a₀)  2

we substitute the let of equation 1

             t² = 28² 2

             t = 28 √2

             t = 39.60 s

Why would knowing the characteristics of circuits be important in designing electrical circuits?
zubka84 [21]
Well if you didn't you could make mistakes, which would lead ,in the best case, at a fail of the circuit , or if it goes out of control it could be dangerous

for example you have to know that the wires become hot and they loose their abbilitys as connecters(the hotter it will, the more energy you lose becouse the R will be bigger)
