Answer:
The maximum speed of the car at the bottom of that drop is 26.34 m/s.
Explanation:
Given that,
The maximum vertical distance covered by the roller coaster, h = 35.4 m
We need to find the maximum speed of the car at the bottom of that drop. It is a case of conservation of energy. The energy at bottom is equal to the energy at top such that :
v = 26.34 m/s
So, the maximum speed of the car at the bottom of that drop is 26.34 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer
Hi,
correct answer is {D} 3.5 m/s²
Explanation
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. Acceleration can occur when a moving body is speeding up, slowing down or changing direction.
Acceleration is calculated by the equation =change in velocity/change in time
a= {velocity final-velocity initial}/(change in time)
a=v-u/Δt
The units for acceleration is meters per second square m/s²
In this example, initial velocity =2.0m/s⇒u
Final velocity=44.0m/s⇒v
Time taken for change in velocity=12 s⇒Δt
a= (44-2)/12 = 42/12
3.5 m/s²
Best Wishes!
<span>First, we use the kinetic energy equation to create a formula:
Ka = 2Kb
1/2(ma*Va^2) = 2(1/2(mb*Vb^2))
The 1/2 of the right gets cancelled by the 2 left of the bracket so:
1/2(ma*Va^2) = mb*Vb^2 (1)
By the definiton of momentum we can say:
ma*Va = mb*Vb
And with some algebra:
Vb = (ma*Va)/mb (2)
Substituting (2) into (1), we have:
1/2(ma*Va^2) = mb*((ma*Va)/mb)^2
Then:
1/2(ma*Va^2) = mb*(ma^2*Va^2)/mb^2
We cancel the Va^2 in both sides and cancel the mb at the numerator, leving the denominator of the right side with exponent 1:
1/2(ma) = (ma^2)/mb
Cancel the ma of the left, leaving the right one with exponent 1:
1/2 = ma/mb
And finally we have that:
mb/2 = ma
mb = 2ma</span>
If Earth was twice as far from the sun, the force of gravity attracting the Earth to the sun would be only one-quarter as strong. The correct answer will be C.
