The Outlaw Run roller coaster in Branson, Missouri, features a track that is inclined at 84 ∘ below the horizontal and that span

s a 49.4-m (162 ft) change in height.
a)If the coefficient of friction for the roller coaster is μk = 0.28, what is the magnitude of the friction force on a 1600-kg coaster train?
b)How much work is done by friction during the time the coaster train travels along the incline?
c)What is the speed of the coaster train at the bottom of the incline, assuming it started from rest at the top?

Answer:

Explanation:

a)

Ff = μmgcosθ

Ff = 0.28(1600)(9.8)cos(-84)

Ff = 458.9217...

Ff = 460 N

b)  ignoring the curves required at top and bottom which change the friction force significantly, especially at the bottom where centripetal acceleration will greatly increase normal forces and thus friction force.

W = Ffd

W = 458.9217(-49.4/sin(-84)

W = 22,795.6119...

W = 23 kJ

c) same assumptions as part b

The change in potential energy minus the work of friction will be kinetic energy.

KE = PE - W

½mv² = mgh - (μmgcosθ)d

v² = 2(gh - (μgcosθ)(h/sinθ))

v = √(2gh(1 - μcotθ))

v = √(2(9.8)(49.4)(1 - 0.28cot84))

v = 30.6552...

v = 31 m/s

One of the brightest nebulae in the night sky, the Orion Nebula may be seen with the unaided eye. The Trapezium is a young open cluster of four main stars in this magnitude 4 interstellar cloud of ionized atomic hydrogen.

<h3>What is the source of the Orion Nebula's crimson glow?</h3>
  • The hydrogen gas in the Orion Nebula, which is powered by radiation from young stars, gives off a crimson tint. The nebula's blue-violet regions are reflecting radiation from bright, blue-white O-type stars while the red areas are emitting light.
  • The Orion Nebula is one of many massive clouds of gas and dust in our Milky Way galaxy, say contemporary astronomers, and is one of the largest. It is approximately 1,300 light years away from Earth. This enormous hazy cocoon, which measures approximately 30 to 40 light-years in diameter, is generating potentially a thousand stars.

Many minerals, such as silver, are good conductors of heat and electricity. How could technology use this property to help ident
Aleks [24]

Answer:

This property could be used to create technologically-advanced tools or machines that could easily locate the mineral deposits.

Explanation:

Mineral deposits are hard to find, unless you have the skill or the proper tools in locating them. This is the reason why many people are mining in order to explore the different areas where they could find these deposits.

If one would consider the property of minerals, such as being good conductors of heat and electricity,<u> then they could create a tool or machine that would aid in their exploration.</u> Inventors could probably come up with a sensitive detector which signals when it reaches an area of high heat and electric conductivity. Since most minerals such as <em>gold, silver, copper, galena, bornite </em>and the like have this property, then miners will have a lesser amount of time looking for them.

If this technology will be implemented, though, regulation policy must be strictly implemented because it might lead to<em> over-mining</em> thus leading to the depletion of mineral deposits.

The speed of a car is decreased uniformly from 30. meters per second to 10. meters per second in 4.0 seconds. What was the car's
masha68 [24]
Acceleration (magnitude anyway) = (change in speed) / (time for the change) .

Change in speed = (10 - 30) = -20 m/s

Time for the change = 4.0sec

Magnitude of acceleration = -20/4  =  <em>-5 m/s² </em>
