For the 100 kg roller coaster that comes over the first hill of height 20 meters at 2 m/s, we have:

1) The total energy for the roller coaster at the <u>initial point</u> is 19820 J

2) The potential energy at <u>point A</u> is 19620 J

3) The kinetic energy at <u>point B</u> is 10010 J

4) The potential energy at <u>point C</u> is zero

5) The kinetic energy at <u>point C</u> is 19820 J

6) The velocity of the roller coaster at <u>point C</u> is 19.91 m/s

1) The total energy for the roller coaster at the <u>initial point</u> can be found as follows:

E_{t} = KE_{i} + PE_{i}

Where:

KE: is the kinetic energy = (1/2)mv₀²

m: is the mass of the roller coaster = 100 kg

v₀: is the initial velocity = 2 m/s

PE: is the potential energy = mgh

g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h: is the height = 20 m

The<em> total energy</em> is:

E_{t} = KE_{i} + PE_{i} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{0}^{2} + mgh = \frac{1}{2}*100 kg*(2 m/s)^{2} + 100 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}*20 m = 19820 J

Hence, the total energy for the roller coaster at the <u>initial point</u> is 19820 J.

   

2) The <em>potential energy</em> at point A is:

PE_{A} = mgh_{A} = 100 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}*20 m = 19620 J

Then, the potential energy at <u>point A</u> is 19620 J.

3) The <em>kinetic energy</em> at point B is the following:

KE_{A} + PE_{A} = KE_{B} + PE_{B}

KE_{B} = KE_{A} + PE_{A} - PE_{B}

Since

KE_{A} + PE_{A} = KE_{i} + PE_{i}

we have:

KE_{B} = KE_{i} + PE_{i} - PE_{B} =  19820 J - mgh_{B} = 19820 J - 100kg*9.81m/s^{2}*10 m = 10010 J

Hence, the kinetic energy at <u>point B</u> is 10010 J.

4) The <em>potential energy</em> at <u>point C</u> is zero because h = 0 meters.

PE_{C} = mgh = 100 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}*0 m = 0 J

5) The <em>kinetic energy</em> of the roller coaster at point C is:

KE_{i} + PE_{i} = KE_{C} + PE_{C}            

KE_{C} = KE_{i} + PE_{i} = 19820 J      

Therefore, the kinetic energy at <u>point C</u> is 19820 J.

6) The <em>velocity</em> of the roller coaster at point C is given by:

KE_{C} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{C}^{2}

v_{C} = \sqrt{\frac{2KE_{C}}{m}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*19820 J}{100 kg}} = 19.91 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the roller coaster at <u>point C</u> is 19.91 m/s.

If the period of a spring is 5 seconds what is the frequency
Scilla [17]

Answer:

C. 0.2 Hertz

Explanation:

The frequency of a spring is equal to the reciprocal of the period:

f=\frac{1}{T}

where

f is the frequency

T is the period

For the spring in this problem,

T = 5 s

therefore, the frequency is

f=\frac{1}{5 s}=0.2 Hz

A uniformly charged solid disk of radius R = 0.45 m carries a uniform charge density of σ = 175 μC/m². A point P is located a di
siniylev [52]

Answer:

1408.685 KN/C

Explanation:

Given:

R = 0.45 m

σ = 175 μC/m²

P is located a distance a = 0.75 m

k = 8.99*10^9

  • The Electric Field Strength E of a uniformly solid disk of charge at distance a perpendicular to disk is given by:

                                  E = 2*pi*k*o * (1 - \frac{a}{\sqrt{a^2 + R^2} })\\

part a)

Electric Field strength at point P: a = 0.75 m

E = 2*pi*8.99*10^9*175*10^-6 * (1 - \frac{0.75}{\sqrt{0.75^2 + 0.45^2} })\\\\E = 9885021.285*(0.1425070743)\\\\E = 1408.685 KN/C

part b)

Since, R >> a, we can approximate a / R = 0 ,

Hence, E simplified relation becomes:

E = 2*pi*k*o * (1 - \frac{a/R}{\sqrt{a^2/R^2 + 1} })\\\\E = 2*pi*k*o * (1 - \frac{0}{\sqrt{0 + 1} })\\\\E = 2*pi*k*o

E = σ / 2*e_o

part c)

Since, a >> R, we can approximate. that the uniform disc of charge becomes a single point charge:

Electric Field strength due to point charge is:

E = k*δ*pi*R^2 / a^2  

Since, R << a, Surface area = δ*pi

Hence,

E = (k*δ*pi/a^2)

Answer:

Explanation:
Kinematics equation for first Object:

but:
The initial velocity is zero

it reach the water at in instant, t1, y(t)=0:


Kinematics equation for the second Object:
The initial velocity is zero

but:

it reach the water at in instant, t2, y(t)=0. If the second object is thrown 1s later, t2=t1-1=1.02s


The velocity is negative, because the object is thrown downwards

Twice each each lunar month, all year long, these tides occur. Whenever the Moon, Earth and Sun are aligned, the gravitational p
Zarrin [17]

That was a lucky pick.

Twice each each lunar month, all year long, whenever the Moon,
Earth and Sun are aligned, the gravitational pull of the sun adds
to that of the moon causing maximum tides.

This is the setup at both New Moon and Full Moon.  It doesn't matter
whether the Sun and Moon are both on the same side of the Earth,
or one on each side.  As long as all three bodies are lined up, we
get the biggest tides.

These are called "spring tides", when there is the greatest difference
between high and low tide.

At First Quarter and Third Quarter, when the sun, Earth, and Moon form a
right angle, there is the least difference between high and low tide.  Then
they're called "neap tides".
