A roller coaster works by being hoisted to the top of the highest peak on the track and then released. As the roller coaster car moves along the track the energy gets converted back and forth between kinetic and gravitational potential energy. The entire time the roller coaster car is in motion air friction and friction in the wheels act to oppose the motion of the car. At which point during the ride is the total mechanical energy of the roller coaster car the greatest?

a. At the bottom of the first dip in the track when the car is moving the fastest.
b. When the car is exactly at half its original height half way through the ride.
c. At the top of the highest peak as the very start of the ride.
d. At the end of the ride as the car nears the station.

Answers

Answer 1

Squids and octopuses propel themselves by expelling water. They do this by keeping water in a cavity and then suddenly contracting the cavity to force out the water through an opening. A 6.50 kg squid (including the water in the cavity) at rest suddenly sees a dangerous predator. Part A If the squid has 1.55 kg of water in its cavity, at what speed must it expel this water to instantaneously achieve a speed of 2.40 m/s to escape the predator

Answers

Answer:

10.1 m/s

Explanation:

By Newton's third law, the force on the squid and that due to the water expelled form an action reaction pair.

And by the law of conservation of momentum,

initial momentum of squid + expelled water = final momentum of squid + expelled water.

Now, the initial momentum of the system is zero.

So, 0 = final momentum of squid + expelled water

0 = MV + mv where M = mass of squid = 6.50kg, V = velocity of squid = 2.40m/s, m =mass of water in cavity = 1.55 kg and v = velocity of water expelled

So, MV + mv = 0

MV = -mv

v = -MV/m

= -6.50 kg × 2.40 m/s ÷ 1.55 kg

= -15.6 kgm/s ÷ 1.55 kg

= -10.1 m/s

So, speed must it expel this water to instantaneously achieve a speed of 2.40 m/s to escape the predator is 10.1 m/s

A 20 ft ladder leans against a wall. The bottom of the ladder is 3 ft from the wall at time t=0 and slides away from the wall at a rate of 2ft/sec. Find the velocity of the top of the ladder at time t=1.

Answers

Answer: 0.516 ft/s

Explanation:

Given

Length of ladder L=20 ft

The speed at which the ladder moving away is v=2 ft/s

after 1 sec, the ladder is 5 ft away from the wall

So, the other end of the ladder is at

[tex]\Rightarrow y=\sqrt{20^2-5^2}=19.36\ ft[/tex]

Also, at any instant t

[tex]\Rightarrow l^2=x^2+y^2[/tex]

differentiate w.r.t.

[tex]\Rightarrow 0=2xv+2yv_y\\\\\Rightarrow v_y=-\dfrac{x}{y}\times v\\\\\Rightarrow v_y=-\dfrac{5}{19.36}\times 2=0.516\ ft/s[/tex]

Two resistors are connected in parallel. If R1 and R2 represent the resistance in Ohms (Ω) of each resistor, then the total resistance R is given by 1R=1R1+1R2. Suppose that in fact, these two resistors are actually potentiometers (resistors with variable resistance) and R1 is increasing at a rate of 0.4Ω/min and R2 is increasing at a rate of 0.6Ω/min. At what rate is R changing when R1=117Ω and R2=112Ω?

Answers

Answer:

1/Re= 1/R1 + 1/R2

Explanation:

Two resistors are connected in parallel. If R1 and R2 represent the resistance in Ohms (Ω) of each resistor, then the total resistance R is given by  [tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}}[/tex]. Thus, the rate of R changes when R₁ = 117 Ω and

R₂ = 112 Ω is 0.25 Ω/min

For a given resistor connected in parallel;

[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}}[/tex]

Making R from the left-hand side the subject of the formula, then:

[tex]\mathbf{R = \dfrac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}}[/tex]

Given that:

[tex]\mathbf{R_1 = 117,}[/tex] [tex]\mathbf{R_2 = 112 }[/tex]

Now, replacing the values in the above previous equation, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{R = \dfrac{13104}{229}}[/tex]

However, the differentiation of R with respect to time t will give us the rate at which R is changing when R1=117Ω and R2=112Ω.

So, by differentiating the given equation of the resistor in parallel with respect to time t;

[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}}[/tex],   we have:

[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{1}{R^2}(\dfrac{dR}{dt})=\dfrac{1}{R_1^2}(\dfrac{dR_1}{dt})+\dfrac{1}{R_2^2}(\dfrac{dR_2}{dt})}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{(\dfrac{dR}{dt})=R^2 \Bigg[ \dfrac{1}{R_1^2}(\dfrac{dR_1}{dt})+\dfrac{1}{R_2^2}(\dfrac{dR_2}{dt})\Bigg]}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{dR}{dt}=(\dfrac{13104}{229})^2 \Bigg[ \dfrac{0.4}{117^2}+\dfrac{0.6}{112^2}\Bigg]}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{dR}{dt}=3274.44 \Bigg[ (7.7052 \times 10^{-5} )\Bigg]}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{dR}{dt}=0.25\ \Omega /min}[/tex]

Therefore, we can conclude that the rate at which R is changing R1=117Ω and R2=112Ω is 0.25 Ω/min

An object A with mass 200 kg and an another object B with mass 1000 kg are moving with same speed. The ratio of kinetic energy of object A to B is

Answers

Answer:

Ratio of kinetic energy of object A to B = 1:5

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of object A = 200 kg

Mass of object B = 1,000 kg

Find:

Ratio of kinetic energy of object A to B

Computation:

Kinetic energy = (1/2)(m)(v²)

Kinetic energy of object A = (1/2)(200)(v²)

Kinetic energy of object A = (100)(v²)

Kinetic energy of object B = (1/2)(1,000)(v²)

Kinetic energy of object B = (500)(v²)

Ratio of kinetic energy of object A to B = Kinetic energy of object A / Kinetic energy of object B

Ratio of kinetic energy of object A to B = (100)(v²) / (500)(v²)

Ratio of kinetic energy of object A to B = 100 / 500

Ratio of kinetic energy of object A to B = 1/5

Ratio of kinetic energy of object A to B = 1:5

. Estimate the buoyant force that air exerts on you. (To do this, you can estimate your volume by knowing your weight and by assuming that your weight density is a bit less than that of water.)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]0.886[/tex] N buoyant force is exerted by air

Explanation:

My weight is [tex]75[/tex] Kg

Weight = mass * gravity

As we know

Buoyant Force is equal to the product of density * acceleration due to gravity and volume of the body

Assuming weight density is a bit less than that of water or equal to water i.e [tex]997.77[/tex] kg/m3

Volume is equal to mass / density

[tex]= 75[/tex] Kg * g/[tex]997.777[/tex]

[tex]= 0.0751[/tex] * g

Buoyant Force

= Volume * g * density

A copper wire of resistivity 2.6 × 10-8 Ω m, has a cross sectional area of 35 × 10-4 cm2
. Calculate
the length of this wire required to make a 10 Ω coil.

Answers

Answer:

the length of the wire is 134.62 m.

Explanation:

Given;

resistivity of the copper wire, ρ = 2.6 x 10⁻⁸ Ωm

cross-sectional area of the wire, A  = 35 x 10⁻⁴ cm² = ( 35 x 10⁻⁴) x 10⁻⁴ m²

resistance of the wire, R = 10Ω

The length of the wire is calculated as follows;

[tex]R = \frac{\rho L}{A} \\\\L = \frac{RA}{\rho} \\\\L= \frac{10 \times (35\times 10^{-4}) \times 10^{-4}}{2.6 \times 10^{-8}} \\\\L = 134.62 \ m[/tex]

Therefore, the length of the wire is 134.62 m.

A wheel rotates about a fixed axis with an initial angular velocity of 24 rad/s. During a 4 s interval the angular velocity decreases to 14 rad/s. Assume that the angular acceleration is constant during the 4 s interval. How many radians does the wheel turn through during the 4 s interval

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\theta=76\ rad[/tex]

Explanation:

Hoven that,

Initial angular velocity of the wheel = 24 rad/s

Final angular velocity = 14 m/s

Time, t = 4 s

We need to find how many radians does the wheel turn through during the 4 s interval. Let the displacement is [tex]\theta[/tex]. Using second equation of rotational kinematics to find it such that,

[tex]\theta=\omega_i t+\dfrac{1}{2}\alpha t^2[/tex]

Where

[tex]\alpha[/tex] is angular acceleration

[tex]\alpha =\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\\\alpha =\dfrac{14-24}{4}\\\\\alpha =-2.5\ rad/s^2[/tex]

So,

[tex]\theta=24\times 4+\dfrac{1}{2}\times (-2.5)\times 4^2\\\\\theta=76\ rad[/tex]

So, it will turn 76 radian during the 4 s interval.

Some plains form as ice and water erodes, or wears away, the dirt and rock on higher land. Water and ice carry the bits of dirt, rock, and other material, called sediment, down hillsides to be deposited elsewhere. As layer upon layer of this sediment is laid down, plains form. Volcanic activity can also form plains.
