A roller coaster has a mass of 250 kg,
and is 50 meters above the ground, what
is the potential energy?

Answers

Answer 1
Potential Energy = mass x gravity x height
PE = mgh
PE = 250kg x 9.8 m/s^2 x 50m
PE = 118,750 joules = 118kJ
Answer 2

A roller coaster has a mass of 250 kg, and it is 50 meters above the ground, then the potential energy will be equal to 122.5 KJ.

What is Potential energy?

Potential energy is a type of energy stored that depends on the interaction between various substances. A spring's energy rises when it is crushed or expanded. A steel ball has more energy stored if it is lifted just above the floor as contrasted to dropping to the ground. As raised, it can do greater labor.

Instead of being a property of specific entities or atoms, potential energy is a property of systems. For instance, a system made up of Earth and the raised ball has far more stored energy as they move apart.

In system components, where the configurations, or spatial arrangements, dictate the magnitude of the forces that apply against one another, potential energy arises.

From the data given in the question,

Mass, m = 250 kg

Height, h = 50 meters and,

g = 9.8 m/s²

[tex]Potential energy(PE)=mgh[/tex]

PE = 250 × 50 × 9.8

PE = 122500 J or,

PE = 122.5 KJ.

What is the momentum of a 200 kg truck travelling at 20 m/s?

Answers

Answer:

p = 4000 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a truck, m = 200 kg

Speed of the truck, v = 20 m/s

We need to find the momentum of the truck. The formula for momentum is given by :

p = mv

so,

[tex]p=200\times 20\\\\p=4000\ kg-m/s[/tex]

So, the momentum of the truck is equal to 4000 kg-m/s.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) studies the physiological effects of large accelerations on astronauts. Some of these studies use a machine known as a centrifuge. This machine consists of a long arm, to one end of which is attached a chamber in which the astronaut sits. The other end of the arm is connected to an axis about which the arm and chamber can be rotated. The astronaut moves on a circular path, much like a model airplane flying in a circle on a guideline. The chamber is located 20.0 m from the center of the circle. At what speed must the chamber move so that an astronaut is subjected to 5.64 times the acceleration due to gravity

Answers

Answer:

w = 1,662 rad / s,    v = 33.25 m / s

Explanation:

This this exercise indicates that the acceleration felt by the astronauts is

         a = 5.64 g

in a circular motion the centripetal acceleration is

        a_c = v²/ r

angular and linear variables are related

         v = w r

we substitute

        a_c = w² r

we finally have

         5.64 g = w² r

         w² = 5.64 g / r

let's calculate

         w = [tex]\sqrt{ \frac{5.64 \ 9.8}{20.0} }[/tex]

         w = 1,662 rad / s

linear velocity is

        v = w r

        v = 1,662 20

         v = 33.25 m / s

A man's higher initial acceleration means that a man can outrun a horse over a very short race. A simple - but plausible - model for a sprint by a man and a horse uses the following assumptions: The man accelerates at 6.0 m/s2for 1.8 s and then runs at a constant speed. A horse accelerates at a more modest 5.0 m/s2 but continues accelerating for 4.8 s and then continues at a constant speed. A man and a horse are competing in a 200 m race. The man is given a 100 m head start, so he begins 100 mfrom the finish line.

How much time does it take the man to finish the race? The horse? Who wins?

Answers

Answer:

 t_man = 10.16 s,   t_horse = 10.73 s,  the winner is the man

Explanation:

To solve this problem we are going to find the time of each one separately.

Man we look for distance and time during acceleration

         x₁ =  v₀ t₁ + ½ a₁ t₁²

as it comes out of rest its initial velocity is zero

        x₁ = ½ a₁ t₁²

        x₁ = ½ 6.0 1.8²

        x₁ = 9.72 m

at this point its speed is

        v₁ = v₀ + a t

        v₁ = 0 + 6  1.8

        v₁ = 10.8 m / s

From here on it continues at constant speed, the distance that the man needs to travel from the point where the man leaves at 100m is

        x₂ = 100 - x₁

        x₂ = 100- 9.72

        x₂ = 90.28 m

the time for this part is

        v₁ = x₂ / t₂

         t₂ = x₂ / v₂

         t₂ = 90.28 / 10.8

         t₂ = 8.36 s

the total time for the man is

        t_man = t₁ + t₂

        t _man = 1.8 + 8.36

        t_man = 10.16 s

We repeat the calculation for the horse

distance traveled during the acceleration period

         x₃ = v₀ t + ½ a₂ t₃²

as part of rest its initial velocity is zero

        x₃ = ½  a₂ t₃²

        x₃ = ½  5.0  4.8²

        x₃ = 57.6 m

the velocity at this point is

         v₃ = v₀ + a₂ t₃

         v₃ = 0 + 5  4.8

         v₃ = 24 m / s

the rest of the route is at constant speed, the remaining distance

         x₄ = 200 - x₃

         x₄ = 200 - 57.6

         x₄ = 142.4 m

the time to go through it is

         t₄ = x₄ / v₃

         t₄ = 142.4 / 24

         t₄ = 5.93 s

the total time for the horse is

         t_horse = t₃ + t₄

         t_horse = 4.8 + 5.93

         t_horse = 10.73 s

when we compare the times we see that the man arrives a little before the horse, the winner is the man

Calculate the force of an object shot in the air with a mass of 2 kg and an acceleration of 9.81 m/s2.

Answers

Answer:

Force = 19.62 Newton

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 2kg

Acceleration = 9.81 m/s²

To find the force;

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Force = mass * acceleration

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Force = 2 * 9.81

Force = 19.62 Newton

Figure 3.50 shows a wooden cube floating in water.
When a stone is placed on the wood, it sinks a further 0.2m.
Find the weight of the
(a) wood
(b) stone
(Density of water = 1000kgm^-3]​

Answers

Answer:

(a) The weight of the wood is approximately 5,886 N

(b) The weight of the stone is approximately 1,962 N

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The base area of the wood, A = 1 m × 1 m = 1 m²

The depth to which the wood is submerged below the water, d = 0.6 m

The depth further the wood sinks when a stone is placed on the wood, Δd = 0.2 m

The density of water, ρ = 1,000 kg/m³

(a) Archimedes' principle states that the up-thrust, or upward force acting on an object submerged in a fluid, is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.

For a floating object such as the wood, the up-thrust is equal to the weight of the object

The weight of the water displaced, W = The volume of the displaced water, V × The density of the water, ρ × The acceleration due to gravity, g

W = V × ρ × g

'V' is the same as the volume of the submerged wood, therefore;

V = A × d = 1 m × 1 m × 0.6 m = 0.6 m³

g ≈ 9.81 m/s²

Therefore;

W = 0.6 m³ × 1,000 kg/m³ × 9.81 m/s² ≈ 5,886 Newtons

The weight of the water displaced, W ≈ 5,886 N = The up-thrust = The weight of the wood

∴ The weight of the wood, W ≈ 5,886 N

(b) Similarly, the weight of the stone, [tex]W_{stone}[/tex] is equal to the weight of the additional volume of water displaced

∴ [tex]W_{stone}[/tex] = A × Δd × ρ × g

By plugging in the values, we get

[tex]W_{stone}[/tex] ≈ 1 m² × 0.2 m × 1,000 kg/m³ × 9.81 m/s² = 1,962 N

The weight of the stone, [tex]W_{stone}[/tex] ≈ 1,962 Newtons
