You wish to make a simple amusement park ride in which a steel-wheeled roller-coaster car travels down one long slope, where rolling friction is negligible, and later slows to a stop through kinetic friction between the roller coaster's locked wheels sliding along a horizontal plastic (polystyrene) track. Assume the roller-coaster car (filled with passengers) has a mass of 743.0 kg and starts 83.4 m above the ground. (a) Calculate how fast the car is going when it reaches the bottom of the hill. m/s (b) How much does the thermal energy of the system change during the stopping motion of the car
Answer:
(a) The car is going approximately 40.43 m/s at the bottom of the hill
(b) The thermal energy will increase by 607,268.76 J
Explanation:
In the question, we have;
The height of the roller coaster above ground = 83.4 m
The mass of the roller coaster, m = 743.0 kg
(a) By the conservation of energy principle, we have;
The potential energy at the top of the hill, P.E., is equal to the kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill, K.E.
∴ P.E. = K.E.
P.E. = m·g·h
Where;
m = The mass of the roller coaster = 743.0 kg
g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
h = The height of the roller coaster = 83.4 m
Therefore, we have;
P.E. = 743.0 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 83.4 m = 607,268.76 J
P.E. = 607,268.76 J
K.E. = 1/2·m·v²
∴ K.E. = 1/2 × 743.0 kg × v²
P.E. = K.E.
∴ P.E. = K.E. = 607,268.76 J
1/2 × 743.0 kg × v² = 607,268.76 J
v² = 607,268.76 J/(1/2 × 743.0 kg) = 1,634.64 m²/s²
v = √(1,634.64 m²/s²) ≈ 40.43 m/s
(b) Given that the material wheel moves along polystyrene track, the sound released will be minimal and almost all the kinetic energy will be converted to heat energy when the train stops, therefore, the thermal energy will increase by K.E. = 607,268.76 J
The thermal energy change of the system is 624,492 J.
We know that in the roller coaster, there is an energy transformation from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy. As such we can write;
mgh = 1/2mv^2
Where we cancel out the mass from both sides, we are left with;
gh=0.5v^2
v= √gh/0.5
v = √10 × 83.4 m/0.5
v = 41 ms-1
Now the kinetic energy is converted also into heat energy hence;
Thermal energy change of the system = 1/2 mv^2 = 0.5 × 743.0 kg × ( 41 ms-1)^2 = 624,492 J

During a blood transfusion, gravity is used to provide the pressure to overcome the blood pressure and force the flow through a small needle into a vein. Consider a case where the needle is 3.0 cm long and has an internal diameter of 0.75 mm. If the required rate of flow is 0.03 cm3/s and the blood pressure in the vein is 11.00 kPa higher than atmospheric pressure (Pa), how high should the bottle be placed above the needle
Density of blood = 1.06x10³
Viscosity = 4 mpas
Answer:
It should be 1.10 higher
Explanation:
L = 0.93
D = 0.75
R = 0.75/2 = 0.375
Q = 0.03x10^-3
Blood pressure = 11x10³
Pn = 4x10^-3
n = 4 x 10^-3
Density of blood = 1.06x10³
Pn - Pv = 8*Q*n*L/pi*r⁴
Pn - pv = 463.57pa
Pn - pv = 463.57pa
Make pn subject
Pn = Pv + 463.57pa ----1
Vn = Q/An
= 0.0679m/s
To get height above needle
Pn + 1/2pv²n = Pa + pgh ----2
We equate 1 and 2 together
We get
Pgh = 11466
To get h we divide through by pg
h = 11466/pg
h = 11466/(1.06x10³)x9.81
h = 1.1026
Approximately
Height = 1.1 meters
So it should be 1.10 meters higher

A scientist plans to release a weather balloon from ground level, to be used for high-altitude atmospheric measurements. The balloon is spherical, with a radius of 2.10 m, and filled with hydrogen. The total mass of the balloon (including the hydrogen within it) and the instruments it carries is 24.0 kg. The density of air at ground level is 1.29 kg/m3. (a) What is the magnitude of the buoyant force (in N) acting on the balloon, just after it is released from ground level
Answer:
Fb = 490.4 N
Explanation:
According to Archimedes' principle, any object submerged in a fluid, receives a push upward (which we call buoyant force) equal to the weight of the volume of the fluid removed by the object.We can express this force (Fb), in terms of the density and the volume of the fluid, as follows:[tex]F_{b} = \rho * V * g (1)[/tex]
The volume removed from the fluid by the balloon is just the volume of the balloon, assuming that it is a perfect sphere, as follows:[tex]V = \frac{4}{3}*\pi * R^{3} = \frac{4}{3} *\pi *(2.1m)^{3} = 38.8 m3 (2)[/tex]
Replacing by the givens and (2) in (1), we get:[tex]F_{b} = \rho * V * g = 1.29 kg/m3* 38.8m3*9.8m/s2 = 490.4 N (3)[/tex]

Elastic CollisionPerfectly elastic collisionInelastic collisionPerfectly Inelastic collisionGiven that a local church is hosting a carnival which includes a bumper car ride. Bumper car A and its driver have a mass of 300 kg; bumper car B and its driver have a mass of 200 kg. Bumper car A has a velocity to the right of 2 m/s and bumper car B is at rest. At t = 0 s, bumper car A and B are separated by 10 m. Bumper car A accelerates at 1 m/s2 to a velocity of 4 m/s and continues at this constant speed until colliding with bumper car B.
1. The time required for bumper car A to travel the 10 m to collide with bumper car B can be calculated by using first equation of linear motion.

Where
V = 4 m/s
U = 2 m/s
a = 1 m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]
Substitute all the parameters into the formula

B. A small force always produces a large change in the object’s momentum.
C. A small force applied over a long time interval can produce a large change in the object’s momentum.
D. A large force produces a large change in the object’s momentum only if the force is applied over a very short time interval.
Answer:
D. A large force produces a large change in the object’s momentum only if the force is applied over a very short time interval.
Explanation:
Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;
[tex] Momentum = mass * velocity [/tex]
Also, the impulse of an object is given by the formula;
[tex] Impulse = force * time [/tex]
In accordance with the impulse-momentum theorem, the statement which is true about the effect of a force exerted upon an object is that a large force produces a large change in the object’s momentum only if the force is applied over a very short time interval.

What is the terminal velocity of blood? A. 8.9 feet/seconds B. 9.8 feet/seconds C. 25.1 feet/second D. 52.1 feet/seconds
Answer:
the answer is c) 25.1 feet/second
Explanation:
because the blood droplets can not increase speed past terminal velocity 100.
The terminal velocity of blood is 25.1 ft/s in air. So, option C is correct.
What is meant by terminal velocity ?Terminal velocity is defined as the maximum velocity to which a freely falling drop can accelerate.
Here,
When a drop of blood is observed, it can be found that due to the effect of gravity, the velocity of the freely falling blood drop increases. So, it moves with increasing velocity, which is due to the influence of acceleration due to gravity. During the free fall of blood drop, there are resistive forces in air that opposes the motion or tries to reduce the velocity of the blood drop. The friction in air affects the freely falling blood drop and the blood drop tends to reduce its velocity and reaches a maximum of velocity after which it cannot accelerate, which is due to the frictional force in air. This maximum velocity is called terminal velocity. The terminal velocity of blood is 25.1 feet/second.
Hence,
The terminal velocity of blood is 25.1 ft/s in air.

You are driving your car on a very cold late Fall day. You clear a turn and see a couple of pedestrians standing at the cross walk. They are eager to cross the road and to get into the warmth of their apartment as soon as possible. You have two options: continue driving your car as you were without lowering your speed and drive right by the pedestrians OR slow down, stop right at the crosswalk, and yield to the pedestrians. Although by Virginia law the choice is clear, what about Physics laws? Which scenario (passing by or slowing down and stopping at the crosswalk to yield) will minimize the time the pedestrians are out in the cold freezing before they can cross the road?
Make the following assumptions in your argument. Before you noticed the pedestrians, you are moving with a constant velocity v=22 miles/hour. The distance at which you noticed the pedestrians is D=23 meters. Write down a symbolic expression for the amount of time, tpass , the pedestrians will have to wait till they cross the road if you simply drive by without slowing down or speeding up.
Write down a symbolic expression for the amount of time, tstop, the pedestrians will have to wait till they cross the road if you slow down, come to a complete stop at the crosswalk and yield to the pedestrians.
Answer:
t_pass = 2.34 m
t_stop = 4.68 s
Thus, for the car passing at constant speed the pedestrian will have to wait less.
Explanation:
If the car is moving with constant speed, then the time taken by it will be given as:
[tex]t_{pass} = \frac{D}{v}[/tex]
where,
t_pass = time taken = ?
D = Distance covered = 23 m
v = constant speed = (22 mi/h)(1609.34 m/1 mi)(1 h/3600 s) = 9.84 m/s
Therefore,
[tex]t_{pass} = \frac{23\ m}{9.84\ m/s} \\[/tex]
t_pass = 2.34 m
Now, for the time to stop the car, we will use third equation of motion to get the acceleration first:
[tex]2as = v_{f}^{2} - v_{i}^2\\a = \frac{v_{f}^{2} - v_{i}^2}{2D}\\\\a = \frac{(0\ m/s)^{2}-(9.84\ m/s)^2}{(2)(23\ m)}\\\\a = -2.1\ m/s^2[/tex]
Now, for the passing time we use first equation of motion:
[tex]v_{f} = v_{i} + at_{stop}\\t_{stop} = \frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{a}\\\\t_{stop} = \frac{0\ m/s - 9.84\ m/s}{-2.1\ m/s^2}[/tex]
t_stop = 4.68 s
Constant velocity is the velocity which covers the same distance for each interval of the time.
The time required to pass is 2.34 seconds and the time to stop is 4.68 seconds.
What is constant velocity?Constant velocity is the velocity which covers the same distance for each interval of the time.
It can be given as,
[tex]v=\dfrac{x}{t}[/tex]
As the distance covered by the car is 23 meters and the constant velocity of the car is 22 miles per second.
Convert the unit of velocity in m/s the value obtained will be 9.84 m/s.
Thus amount of time, [tex]t_{pass}[/tex] is,
[tex]9.84=\dfrac{23}{t_{pass} } \\t_{pass} =\dfrac{23}{9.84} \\t_{pass} =2.34[/tex]
As the distance covered by the car is 23 meters and the constant velocity of the car is 22 miles per second.
Convert the unit of velocity in m/s the value obtained will be 9.84 m/s.
Thus amount of time, [tex]t_{pass}[/tex] is,
[tex]9.84=\dfrac{23}{t_{pass} } \\t_{pass} =\dfrac{23}{9.84} \\t_{pass} =2.34[/tex]
According to the third equation of the motion acceleration can be given as,
[tex]v^2-u^2=2ax\\a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2x}\\a=\dfrac{0^2-9.84^2}{2\times 23}\\a=-2.1 \rm \; m/s^2[/tex]
Now, use the first equation of motion, to get the required time,
[tex]v=u+at\\0=9.84+(-2.1)t\\t=4.68\rm \; s[/tex]
Therefore, the time required to pass is 2.34 seconds and the time to stop is 4.68 seconds.

Answer:
m = [tex]\frac{k}{g}[/tex] x,

Explanation:
For this exercise, the simplest way to determine the mass of the cylinder is to take a spring and hang the mass, measure how much the spring has stretched and calculate the mass, using the translational equilibrium equation
F_e -W = 0
k x = m g
m = [tex]\frac{k}{g}[/tex] x
We are assuming that you know the constant k of the spring, if it is not known you must carry out a previous step, calibrate the spring, for this a series of known masses are taken and hung by measuring the elongation (x) from the equilibrium position, with these data a graph of x vs m is made to serve as a spring calibration.
In the latter case, the elongation measured with the cylinder is found on the graph and the corresponding ordinate is the mass

E. The wreckage after collision is motionless.
Answer:
The reckage after collision is motionless (E)
Explanation:
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy is neither created nor destroyed but is converted from one form to another.
The kind of collision described in the question above is known as a perfectly inelastic collision, and in this type of collision, the maximum kinetic energy is lost because the objects moving in opposite directions have a resultant momentum that is equal, but in opposite directions hence they cancel each other out.
The calculation is as follows:
m₁v₁ + m₂v₂
where:
m₁ = m₂ = 1000kg
v₁ = 20 m/s
v₂ = -20 m/s ( in the opposite vector direction)
∴ resultant momentum = (1000 × 20) + (1000 × -20)
= 20000 - 20000 = 0
∴ The reckage after collision is motionless
Answer:
The wreckage after collision is moving at the speed 18 m/s to the south.
