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

A 500 N force accelerates an object at 20 m s-2. What is its mass?
avanturin [10]

<u>Answer</u>: The mass of the object is 25kg.

The given question deals with Newton's second law of motion and its applications.

<u>Explanation:</u> Given force, F=500N

                                 acceleration, a=20 m/s^{2}

  From Newton's 2nd law of motion , we have

                             F=ma where m=mass of the object

                         ⇒500=m×20

                         ⇒m=500/20=25

                 ∴ Mass of the object is 25 kg .

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8m/s^2.

So to calculate the time it will take to make the ball stop(which btw means the ball now reach its greatest height), use the formula V1=V0+at. V1 is the final velocity(which is 0), V0 is the starting velocity(which is 30m/s), and the a(cceleration) is 9.8m/s^2.

(You can ignore the fact "at" is -30 instead 30, it's because the directions two velocity travel are opposite. )

We can now know the time it takes to make the ball stop just by the gravitational force is about 3 sec.

Use another formula S=1/2at^2, to find out the S(height) is 1/2*9.8*3^2=44.1, which is approximately D.45m .

A student throws a 130 g snowball at 6.5 m/s at the side of the schoolhouse, where it hits and sticks. What is the magnitude of
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

4.7 N

Explanation:

130 g = 0.13 kg

The momentum of the snowball when it's thrown at the wall is

p = mv = 0.13*6.5 = 0.845 kgm/s

Which is also the impulse. From here we can calculate the magnitude of the average force F knowing the duration of the collision is 0.18 s

p = F\Delta t

F*0.18 = 0.845

F = 0.845 / 0.18 = 4.7 N
