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

Answers

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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 spring semester at MIT, residents of the parallel buildings of the East Campus dorms battle one another with large catapults that are made with surgical hose mounted on a window frame. A balloon filled with dyed water is placed in a pouch attached to the hose, which is then stretched through the width of the room. Assume that the stretching of the hose obeys Hooke's law with a spring constant of 112 N/m. If the hose is stretched by 4.70 m and then released, how much work does the force from the hose do on the balloon in the pouch by the time the hose reaches its relaxed length

Answers

Answer:

1237 J

Explanation:

The work done by the hose on the balloon is the work done by a spring which is

W = 1/2k(x₀² - x₁²) where k = spring constant = 112 N/m, x₀ = 4.70 m and x₁ = 0 m.

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

W = 1/2k(x₀² - x₁²)

W = 1/2 × 112 N/m((4.70 m)² - (0 m)²)

W = 56 N/m(22.09 m² - 0 m²)

W = 56 N/m(22.09 m²)

W = 1237.04 J

W ≅ 1237 J

a skydiver is falling down through the air but has not reach terminal velocity (not consistent velocity )(considered air resistance)​

Answers

We are to find the acceleration.

Answer:

-9.2 m/s²

Explanation:

Total force is expressed as;

ΣF = F_d + F_g

We are given;

F_d = 50 N

Mass of skydiver = 78 kg

Thus, F_g = 78 × -9.8

g is negative since it is a free fall

Thus;

F_g = -764.4 N

ΣF = 50 - 764.4

ΣF = -714.4 N

Formula for acceleration is;

ΣF = ma

a = -714.4/78

a ≈ -9.2 m/s²

explain briefly where the energy come from when a liquid Rises against Gravity in a capillary tube​

Answers

Answer:

Surface tension

Explanation:

When liquid rises against gravity in a capillary tube, the energy comes from surface tension.

This is because surface tension is the energy that's needed to increase the liquid surface area.

As a result of hydrogen bonding present in Water, it usually has high surface tension which makes it to possess a tough skin that can make it not to break despite high forces applied to it.

The liquid will be in contact with the capillary tube and as such experiences surface tension which in turn makes the capillary tube to experience an upward force that makes the liquid begin to rise up.

The more the liquid keeps rising, the more it gets to the point where the surface tension becomes balanced from the weight of the liquid.

The following problem applies to questions 8 and 9: a glass window acquires a net negative charge on its surface after being cleaned. Particles of dust, which are usually charged positively, start accelerating toward the window. If a particle travels a distance of 1 meter before reaching the window, in a time duration of 10 sec, and if the mass of the particle is 1 micro-gram and the charge on the particle is 10-12 Coulomb, then the magnitude of the electric field intensity is Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer:

the magnitude of the electric field intensity is 20 N/C

Explanation:

 Given the data in the question;

mass m = 1 micro gram = 1 × 10⁻⁹ kg

time duration t = 10 sec

distance s = 1 m

the charge on the particle q = 10⁻¹² Coulomb

force applied on a charged particle due to electric field E is;

F = Eq  ------ equ 1

where q is the charge on the particle.

Also, force on a particle with mass m  will be;

F = ma  ------ equ

where a is acceleration

so F = ma = Eq

ma = Eq -------- equ 3

using kinetic equation

Distance = 1/2×at²

where a is acceleration and t is the time period

now lets consider that initial velocity is zero (0)

Here;

1 m = 1/2 × a × ( 10 s )²

1 m = a × 50 s²

a = 1 m / 50 s²

a = 0.02 m/s²

so, from equation 3

ma = Eq

E = ma / q

we substitute

E = (1 × 10⁻⁹ kg × 0.02) / 10⁻¹² Coulomb

E = 2 × 10⁻¹¹ / 10⁻¹²

E = 20 N/C

Therefore, the magnitude of the electric field intensity is 20 N/C

What is meant by heat energy ?

Heat energy of a system is defined as the energy transferred between the molecules due to the temperature difference between them. Heat energy is the energy responsible for the temperature of the molecules.

Here,

A city near the ocean experiences thunderstorms on a frequent basis. This is because,

The atmosphere near to the land is highly humid and warm and thus creates a relatively low pressure in the land. In order to balance the pressure variation the air from the oceans make movements towards the land, and as a result, sea breeze are formed. During the evenings when the water in the ocean is more warm and when land begins to cool, the air from land rushes towards the sea, in order to balance the pressure variation occurred here. This makes the air above the ocean highly humid and thus would lead to the formation of thunderstorms.

Hence,

The uneven heating of land and water in coastal areas creates fronts that cause thunderstorms.

Answer:

(a) T = 18309.63 N = 18.31 KN

(b) T = 16314.03 N = 16.314 KN

Explanation:

(a)

The tension in an elevator while moving upward with some acceleration is given by the following formula:

[tex]T = m(g+a)\\[/tex]

where,

T = Tension = ?

m = mass = 1663 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

a = acceleration of elevator = 1.2 m/s²

Therefore,

[tex]T = (1663\ kg)(9.81\ m/s^2 + 1.2\ m/s^2)\\[/tex]

T = 18309.63 N = 18.31 KN

(b)

Constant velocity means no acceleration. So, in that case, the tension will be equal to the weight of the elevator:

[tex]T = mg\\T = (1663\ kg)(9.81\ m/s^2)\\[/tex]

T = 16314.03 N = 16.314 KN

Explanation:

Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, thus travel at the speed of light (3.0 x [tex]10^{8}[/tex] m/s)

The frequency of transmission = 15.42 MHz

                                                   = 15.42 x [tex]10^{6}[/tex] Hz

But,

         v = fλ

where: v is the velocity of the wave, f is the frequency and λ is the wavelength

The wavelength of the transmitting waves can be determined by,

λ = [tex]\frac{v}{f}[/tex]

  = [tex]\frac{3.0 *10^{8} }{5.42 *10^{6} }[/tex]

  = 55.3506

λ = 55.35 m
