Students are asked to create roller coasters for marbles. Their goal is to design a coaster with the tallest possible hill that

a marble released from a height of 1.5 m (meters) can clear. The marbles will experience some air resistance and friction as
they move.

What should the students keep in mind as they build their designs?

a)The hill can be taller than 1.5 m (meters), because the marble will be moving faster than its initial velocity allowing it to travel higher than its release height.

b)The hill can be taller than 1.5 m (meters), because the marble will gain mechanical energy as it moves allowing it to travel higher than its release height.

c)The hill should be a little less than 1.5 m (meters) high, because the marble will lose mechanical energy as it moves, preventing it from reaching its release
height.

d)The hill can be exactly 1.5 m (meters) high, because mechanical energy is always
conserved allowing the marble to travel to its release height.

Answer:

Kinetic Energy.

Explanation:

The movement of a roller coaster is accomplished by the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy. The roller coaster cars gain potential energy as they are pulled to the top of the first hill. As the cars descend the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Two satellites are orbiting earth at different altitudes. Which satellite orbits at a higher speed v around earth?
aniked [119]

Answer:

Low satellite has high orbital velocity

Explanation:

let v be the orbital speed of the satellite orbiting at a height h is given by

v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R+h}}

where, M be the mass of planet, r be the radius of planet and h be the height of planet from the surface of planet.

here we observe that more be the height lesser be the orbital velocity.

So, a satellite which is at low height has high orbital velocity.

Since force is dp/dt, the force due to radiation pressure reflected off of a solar sail can be calculated as 2 times the radiati
QveST [7]

Answer:

8.67×10⁻⁶ N/m²

Explanation:

p = Momentum of a photon

E = Energy of a photon

c = Speed of light

I = Intensity of light

Force = dp/dt

p=\frac{E}{c}

\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{\frac{dE}{dt}}{c}

As given in question

F=2\frac{\frac{dE}{dt}}{c}

Now F/A = Pressure

P=\frac{2I}{c}\\\Rightarrow P=\frac{2\times 1300}{3\times 10^{8}}\\\Rightarrow P=8.67\times 10^{-6}\ N/m^2

∴ Magnitude of the pressure on the sail is 8.67×10⁻⁶ N/m²

A runner traveled 7.7 miles an hour and a half what was their average speed
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:5.13333333...

Explanation: 7.7 is the distance and an hour and a half is the average speed. You would have to divide the total distance by the total time. So it would be 7.7 divided by 1.5 which would equal 5.13333333333...
