Answer:

Potential Energy is the energy that is waiting to be released like at the top of the roller coaster, Kinetic energy is the energy that is moving the rollercoaster downhill fast.

Three Laws:

The rollercoaster will rest at the top, and then the gears will make it move downhill, and make it stop.

The gears make the rollercoaster move, and in reaction, it pushes back on the gears.

Answer:

Newton's law has every thing to do with roller coasters.

in the case that you have given, the first law states that any object when given an force will keep moving until there is no opposing force acting upon the moving object. when the roller coaster is moving the opposing force here can be the frictional force that is acting upon the coaster that is the breaking system as the train comes to the station to stop a the end.

to summarize

Newton's first law: any object will keep moving until there is an opposing force acting upon it

the opposing force in the coaster is the breaking system..

Dos cargas iguales de 10^-7C estan separadas por una distancia de 2m. calcule la fuerza con que se repelen

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

$F=2.25\times 10^{-5}\ N$

Explanation:

According to question,

Charge 1 and charge 2 are $10^{-7}\ C$

The distance between charges is 2 m

We need to find the force with which two positive charges repel. It is called electrostatic force of repulsion. It can be given by :

$F=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}\\\\F=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times (10^{-7})^2}{2^2}\\\\F=2.25\times 10^{-5}\ N$

So, the electric force of repulsion is $2.25\times 10^{-5}\ N$ .

A block of mass 12.2 kg is sliding at an initial velocity of 3.9 m/s in the positive x-direction. The surface has a coefficient

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) Force of friction = μ R where μ is coefficient of kinetic friction and R is reaction force

R = mg where m is mass of the block

Force of friction F = μ x mg

= .173 x 12.2 x 9.8

= 20.68 N

b ) Only force of friction is acting on the body so

deceleration = force / mass = 20.68 / 12.2 = 1.7 m /s²

acceleration = - 1.7 m /s²

c )

v² = u² - 2 a s

v = 0 , u = 3.9 m /s

a = 1.7 m /s

0 = 3.9² - 2 x 1.7 x s

s = 4.47 m

The graph below shows the position of an ant as it crawls over a flat picnic blanket. The total time for the ant to go from the

Mice21 [21]

The average speed of the ant is 0.276 cm/s and the average velocity is 0.136 cm/s.

The correct answer is option D.

In the given graph, we can deduce the following;

the total time of the motion, = 1 mins + 45 s = 60 s + 45 s = 105 s

The average speed of the ant is calculated as;

$average \ speed = \frac{total \ distance }{total \ time }$

The total distance from the graph is calculated as follows;

first horizontal distance from 2 cm to 8 cm = 8 - 2 = 6 cm

first upward distance from 3 cm to 5 cm = 5 - 3 = 2 cm

second horizontal distance from 8 cm to 6 cm = 8 - 6 = 2 cm

second upward distance from 5 cm to 12 cm = 12 - 5 = 7 cm

third horizontal distance from 6 cm to 13 cm = 13 - 6 = 7 cm

fourth downward distance from 12 cm to 9 cm = 3 cm

final horizontal distance from 13 cm to 15 cm = 2cm

The total distance = (6 + 2 + 2 + 7 + 7 + 3 + 2) cm = 29 cm

$average \ speed = \frac{total \ distance }{total \ time } = \frac{29 \ cm}{105 \ s} = 0.276 \ cm/s$

The average velocity is calculated as the change in displacement per change in time.

The displacement is the shortest distance between the start and end positions.

This shortest distance is the straight line connecting the start and end position. Call this line P

From the end position at x = 15 cm, draw a vertical line from y = 9 cm, to y = 3 cm. The displacement = 9 cm - 3 cm = 6 cm

Also, draw a horizontal line from start at x = 2 cm to x = 15 cm. The displacement = 15 cm - 2 cm = 13 cm

Notice, you have a right triangle, now calculate the length of line P.

↓end

↓

↓ 6cm

↓

start -------------13 cm------------

Use Pythagoras theorem to solve for P.

$P^2 = 6^2 + 13^2\\\\P^2 = 36 + 169\\\\P^2 = 205\\\\P= \sqrt{205} \\\\P = 14.318 \ cm$

The average velocity of the ant is calculated as;

$average \ velocity= \frac{\Delta displacemnt }{total\ time }= \frac{14.318 \ cm}{105 \ s} = 0.136 \ cm/s \\\\$

Thus, the average speed of the ant is 0.276 cm/s and the average velocity is 0.136 cm/s.
