You are testing a new amusement park roller coaster with an empty car with a mass of 130 kg. One part of the track is a vertical

loop with a radius of 12.0 m. At the bottom of the loop (point A) the car has a speed of 25.0 m/s and at the top of the loop (point B) it has speed of 8.00 m/s.

Answer:

Work done by friction along the motion is given as

$W_f = -5857.8 J$

Explanation:

As per work energy theorem we can say

Work done by all forces = change in kinetic energy of the system

so here car is moving from bottom to top

so here the change in kinetic energy is total work done on the car

so here we will have

$W_f + W_g = \frac{1}{2}m(v_f^2 - v_i^2)$

$W_f - mgH = \frac{1}{2}m(v_f^2 - v_i^2)$

now plug in all data in it

$W_f - (130)(9.81)(2\times 12) = \frac{1}{2}(130)(8^2 - 25^2)$

$W_f = 30607.2 - 36465$

$W_f = -5857.8 J$

Consider an object with s=12cm that produces an image with s′=15cm. Note that whenever you are working with a physical object, t

Leni [432]

A. 6.67 cm

The focal length of the lens can be found by using the lens equation:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{s}+\frac{1}{s'}$

where we have

f = focal length

s = 12 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

s' = 15 cm is the distance of the image from the lens

Solving the equation for f, we find

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{12 cm}+\frac{1}{15 cm}=0.15 cm^{-1}\\f=\frac{1}{0.15 cm^{-1}}=6.67 cm$

B. Converging

According to sign convention for lenses, we have:

- Converging (convex) lenses have focal length with positive sign

- Diverging (concave) lenses have focal length with negative sign

In this case, the focal length of the lens is positive, so the lens is a converging lens.

C. -1.25

The magnification of the lens is given by

$M=-\frac{s'}{s}$

where

s' = 15 cm is the distance of the image from the lens

s = 12 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

Substituting into the equation, we find

$M=-\frac{15 cm}{12 cm}=-1.25$

D. Real and inverted

The magnification equation can be also rewritten as

$M=\frac{y'}{y}$

where

y' is the size of the image

y is the size of the object

Re-arranging it, we have

$y'=My$

Since in this case M is negative, it means that y' has opposite sign compared to y: this means that the image is inverted.

Also, the sign of s' tells us if the image is real of virtual. In fact:

- s' is positive: image is real

- s' is negative: image is virtual

In this case, s' is positive, so the image is real.

E. Virtual

In this case, the magnification is 5/9, so we have

$M=\frac{5}{9}=-\frac{s'}{s}$

which can be rewritten as

$s'=-M s = -\frac{5}{9}s$

which means that s' has opposite sign than s: therefore, the image is virtual.

F. 12.0 cm

From the magnification equation, we can write

$s'=-Ms$

and then we can substitute it into the lens equation:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{s}+\frac{1}{s'}\\\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{s}+\frac{1}{-Ms}$

and we can solve for s:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{M-1}{Ms}\\f=\frac{Ms}{M-1}\\s=\frac{f(M-1)}{M}=\frac{(-15 cm)(\frac{5}{9}-1}{\frac{5}{9}}=12.0 cm$

G. -6.67 cm

Now the image distance can be directly found by using again the magnification equation:

$s'=-Ms=-\frac{5}{9}(12.0 cm)=-6.67 cm$

And the sign of s' (negative) also tells us that the image is virtual.

H. -24.0 cm

In this case, the image is twice as tall as the object, so the magnification is

M = 2

and the distance of the image from the lens is

s' = -24 cm

The problem is asking us for the image distance: however, this is already given by the problem,

s' = -24 cm

so, this is the answer. And the fact that its sign is negative tells us that the image is virtual.

The diagram shows two vectors that point west and north. What is the magnitude of the resultant vector? 13 miles 17 miles 60 mil

Kipish [7]

Using the formula A squared plus B squared equals C squared, we can find the solution by substituting 5 for A and 12 for B.

By squaring 5, we get 25, and by squaring 12, we get 144. Adding these, we get 169. The square root of this is 13.

What physical property of minerals describes how they will break along a plane of weakness in a crystal lattice?

Rom4ik [11]

<span>The answer is cleavage Cleavage is the way minerals will break along a plane of weakness in a crystal lattice. These plane of relative weakness is formed due to various reasons like the locations of atoms in a crystal lattice so these locations form the smooth repeting surface which could be found out by studying its lattice or are sometimes visible to naked eye.</span>

A truck using a rope to tow a 2230-kg car accelerates from rest to 13.0 m/s in a time of 15.0s. How strong must the rope be? μk

Leokris [45]

Answer:

The rope must have a force of 10084,21 N

Explanation

Acceleration calculation

The car acceleration is equal to the acceleration of the truck

ac: car acceleration $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

at: truck acceleration $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$ )

$ac = at= \frac{vf-vi}{t-ti}$ equation(1)

Known information:

vi = Initial speed = 0, ti = initial time = 0

vf = Final speed = 13 $\frac{m}{s}$ , t = final time =5 s

We replaced the known information in the equation(1):

$ac = at = \frac{13-0}{15-0}$

$ac=ac=\frac{13}{15} \frac{m}{s}$

Dynamic analysis

The forces acting on the car are the following:

Wc: Car weight

N: normal force, road force on the car

Ff: Friction force

T: Force of tension

Car weight calculation:

$Wc=mc*g$

mc = Car mass = 2230kg

g = Gravity acceleration=9.8 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

$Wc= 2230*9.8$

$Wc=21854 N$

Normal force calculation:

Newton's first law

$sum Fy= 0$

$N-W=0$

$N=W$

$N=21854 N$

Friction force calculation (Ff):

We have the formula to calculate the friction force:

Ff = μk * N Equation (3)

μk kinetic coefficient of friction

We know that μk = 0.373and N= 21854N ,then:

$Ff=0.373*21854$

$Ff=8151.54 N$

Calculation of the tension force in the rope (T):

Newton's Second law

$sum Fx= mc*ac$

$T-Ff=mc*ac$

$T=2230(\frac{13}{15}) + 8151.54$

T=10084,21 N

Answer: The rope must have a force of 10084,21 N
