a 4768-kg roller coaster train full of riders approaches the loading dock at a speed of 17.1 m/s. It is abruptly decelerated to a speed of 2.2 m/s over a distance of 13.6m. Determine the magnitude of the restraining force that acts upon the roller coaster cars.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Explanation:

To determine the magnitude of the restraining force acting on the roller coaster cars, we can use the equation:

Force = Mass * Acceleration

1. Calculate the initial velocity:

Initial velocity (u) = 17.1 m/s

2. Calculate the final velocity:

Final velocity (v) = 2.2 m/s

3. Calculate the change in velocity:

Change in velocity (Δv) = v - u = 2.2 m/s - 17.1 m/s = -14.9 m/s (negative because the roller coaster is decelerating)

4. Calculate the distance traveled:

Distance (d) = 13.6 m

5. Calculate the acceleration:

Acceleration (a) = Δv / t

We need to calculate the time (t) first. To do this, we can use the equation of motion:

v = u + at

Rearranging the equation, we have:

t = (v - u) / a

Substituting the values, we have:

t = (-14.9 m/s) / a

6. Now, substitute the values into the equation to calculate the acceleration:

a = (v - u) / t

a = (-14.9 m/s) / (-14.9 m/s / a)

a = 1 m/s^2

7. Calculate the magnitude of the restraining force:

Force = Mass * Acceleration

Mass = 4768 kg

Force = 4768 kg * 1 m/s^2

Force = 4768 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the restraining force that acts upon the roller coaster cars is 4768 Newtons.

Grass obtains 10% of the energy of the Sun. When a mouse eats the grass, it gets only _____ of the Sun's energy while _____ is lost as heat. 0.1%; 0.9% 1%; 0.9% 0.01%; 0.009%

Answers

Grass obtains 10% of the energy of the Sun. When a mouse eats the grass, it gets only 1% of the Sun's energy while 9% is lost as heat. It has already been known that only 10% of energy gets transferred from one link of the food chain to another. The answer to this question can be easily deduced from this fact.

A person can jump a maximum horizontal distance (by using a 45◦ projectile angle) of 5 m on Earth. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . What would be his maximum range on the Moon, where the free-fall acceleration is g 6 ? Answer in units of m

Answers

Answer:30 m

Explanation:

Given

Maximum Horizontal distance is 5 m on earth

launching angle=45^(\circ)

Acceleration due to gravity on earth is 9.8 m/s^2

Acceleration due to gravity on moon is (9.8)/(6)=1.63 m/s^2

Range of projectile is given by

R=(u^2\sin 2\theta )/(g)

R_(earth)=(u^2\sin 2\theta )/(g)=5----1

R_(moon)=(u^2\sin 2\theta )/((g)/(6))-----2

Divide 1 & 2

(5)/(R_(moon))=(1)/(6)

R_(moon)=30 m

A heart defibrillator is used to enable the heart to start beating if it has stopped. This is done by passing a large current of 12 A through the body at 25 V for a very short time, usually about 3.0 ms. (a) What power does the defibrillator deliver to the body, and (b) how much energy is transferred

Answers

Answer:

(a) 300 W

(b)0.90 J

Explanation:

(a) The electric power for any circuit element is given as

P=IV

Here I is current passing in the circuit and V is the voltage.

Given I = 12 A and V =25 V.

Substitute the given values, we get

P=12 A *25 V

P = 300 W.

Thus, the power defibrillator deliver to the body is 300 W.

(b) To calculate the electric energy use the relation between electric energy, power and time as

E=Pt

Given t = 3 ms.

Substitute the values, we get

E=300 W* 3* 10^-^3s

E = 0.90 J.

Thus, the energy transferred is 0.90 J.
