For a group class project, students are building model roller coasters. Each roller coaster needs to begin at the top of the fir

abruzzese [7]

Case A :

A .75 kg 65 N/m 1.2 m

m = mass of car = 0.75 kg

k = spring constant of the spring = 65 N/m

h = height of the hill = 1.2 m

x = compression of spring = 0.25 m

Using conservation of energy between Top of hill and Bottom of hill

Total energy at Top of hill = Total energy at Bottom of hill

spring energy + potential energy = kinetic energy

(0.5) k x² + mgh = (0.5) m v²

(0.5) (65) (0.25)² + (0.75 x 9.8 x 1.2) = (0.5) (0.75) v²

v = 5.4 m/s

Case B :

B .60 kg 35 N/m .9 m

m = mass of car = 0.60 kg

k = spring constant of the spring = 35 N/m

h = height of the hill = 0.9 m

x = compression of spring = 0.25 m

Using conservation of energy between Top of hill and Bottom of hill

Total energy at Top of hill = Total energy at Bottom of hill

spring energy + potential energy = kinetic energy

(0.5) k x² + mgh = (0.5) m v²

(0.5) (35) (0.25)² + (0.60 x 9.8 x 0.9) = (0.5) (0.60) v²

v = 4.6 m/s

Case C :

C .55 kg 40 N/m 1.1 m

m = mass of car = 0.55 kg

k = spring constant of the spring = 40 N/m

h = height of the hill = 1.1 m

x = compression of spring = 0.25 m

Using conservation of energy between Top of hill and Bottom of hill

Total energy at Top of hill = Total energy at Bottom of hill

spring energy + potential energy = kinetic energy

(0.5) k x² + mgh = (0.5) m v²

(0.5) (40) (0.25)² + (0.55 x 9.8 x 1.1) = (0.5) (0.55) v²

v = 5.1 m/s

Case D :

D .84 kg 32 N/m .95 m

m = mass of car = 0.84 kg

k = spring constant of the spring = 32 N/m

h = height of the hill = 0.95 m

x = compression of spring = 0.25 m

Using conservation of energy between Top of hill and Bottom of hill

Total energy at Top of hill = Total energy at Bottom of hill

spring energy + potential energy = kinetic energy

(0.5) k x² + mgh = (0.5) m v²

(0.5) (32) (0.25)² + (0.84 x 9.8 x 0.95) = (0.5) (0.84) v²

v = 4.6 m/s

hence closest is in case C at 5.1 m/s

A 14000N car traveling at 25m/s rounds a curve of radius 200m. Find the following: a. The centripetal acceleration of the car.

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Weight of car $W=14,000\ N$

mass of car $m=\frac{14,000}{9.8}=1428.57\ N$

velocity of car $v=25\ m/s$

radius $r=200\ m$

(a)Centripetal acceleration is given by

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

$a_c=\frac{25^2}{200}$

$a_c=3.125\ m$

(b)Force that provide centripetal acceleration

$F=F_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

$F=\frac{1428.57\times 25^2}{200}$

$F=4464.285\ N$

(c)Friction force between car and tires is given by

$=\mu N$

where $\mu$ =coefficient of static friction

N=normal reaction

Centripetal force will balance the friction force

$F_c=F_r$

$4464.285=\mu \times 1428.57\times 9.8$

$\mu =0.318$

A squeeze bottle squeezes when pressed. It regains its shape when pressed .It regains its shape when the pressure from your hand

Leokris [45]

Answer:

The squeeze will not regain its shape

Explanation:

The squeeze bottle will not regain its shape.

This is because the atmospheric pressure compresses the squeeze bottle. Since the pressure in the squeeze bottle is now not equal to the atmospheric pressure since it has been corked tightly, its internal pressure cannot balance out the atmospheric pressure and thus cancel its effect.

So, the squeeze bottle does not regain its shape due to this imbalance of pressure.

Margy is trying to improve her cardio endurance by performing an exercise in which she alternates walking and running 100.0 m ea

madreJ [45]

In order to answer this exercise you need to use the formulas

S = Vo*t + (1/2)*a*t^2

Vf = Vo + at

The data will be given as

Vf = final velocity = ?

Vo = initial velocity = 1.4 m/s

a = acceleration = 0.20 m/s^2

s = displacement = 100m

And now you do the following:

100 = 1.4t + (1/2)*0.2*t^2

t = 25.388s

and

Vf = 1.4 + 0.2(25.388)

Vf = 6.5 m/s

So the answer you are looking for is 6.5 m/s

The maximum tension that a 0.80 m string can tolerate is 15 N. A 0.35-kg ball attached to this string is being whirled in a vert

zimovet [89]

Answer:

v=5.86 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the string, l = 0.8 m

Maximum tension tolerated by the string, F = 15 N

Mass of the ball, m = 0.35 kg

We need to find the maximum speed the ball can have at the top of the circle. The ball is moving under the action of the centripetal force. The length of the string will be the radius of the circular path. The centripetal force is given by the relation as follows :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

v is the maximum speed

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{15\times 0.8}{0.35}} \\\\v=5.86\ m/s$

Hence, the maximum speed of the ball is 5.86 m/s.
