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

The more twists per foot in a pair of wires, the more resistant the pair will be to ____.
Murljashka [212]
The more twist per foot in a pair of wires, the more resistant the pair will be to cross talk. A cross talk in network planning and design is a disturbance produced by electromagnetic interference beside a circuit or a cable pair. A telecommunication signal interrupts a signal in an adjacent circuit and can source the signals to turn out to be confused and cross over each other.

Artist 52 [7]
The continuous submarine mountain range which winds through all the oceans is called the mid-ocean <u>ridge.
</u>It is a form of a mountain which is found underwater, and it appeared there due to the movements of tectonic plates. It is responsible for the creation of new seafloor, meaning that the ground underwater changes constantly with the formation of these ridges. <u>
