For the roller coaster shown below, a hydraulic catapult propels the car to the top of the ride, at a height of 405 ft. If the car and occupants weigh 1188 lb, what would be the potential energy of the loaded car at the top in joules?

Answers

Answer 1

If a hydraulic catapult propels the car to the top of the ride, at a height of 405 ft. If the car and occupants weigh 1188 lb, then the potential energy of the loaded car at the top would be 652542.68 Joules.

What is mechanical energy?

Mechanical energy is the combination of all the energy in motion represented by total kinetic energy and the total stored energy in the system which is represented by total potential energy.

As given in the problem, for the roller coaster, a hydraulic catapult propels the car to the top of the ride, at a height of 405 ft. If the car and occupants weigh 1188 lb,

1 lb = 0.4536 Kg

1188 lb = 1188× 0.4536 Kg

           =538.87 Kilograms

1 ft = 0.3048 meters

405 ft = 405×0.3048 meters

          =123.44 meters

The potential energy of the loaded car at the top = mgh

                                                                                   =538.87×9.81×123.44

                                                                                   =652542.68 Joules

                           

Thus, the potential energy of the loaded car would be 652542.68 Joules.

A net force of 75 pounds acts on a body of 25 slugs. The body is initially at rest. What is its acceleration during the action of the force?​

Answers

The correct answer is 0.91 m/[tex]s^2[/tex].

The pace at which a body increases its velocity is what is meant by the phrase "acceleration." It always moves in the same direction as the body when it moves.

The acceleration of an object is equal to the net force exerted on it divided by its mass, or a = F m, in accordance with Newton's second rule of motion. When the mass of an item and the net force acting on it are known, the acceleration of that object can be determined using this equation for acceleration.

Force F = 75 ponds = 33.62 N

initial velocity y =0

mass m = 25 slungs = 364.848 kg

time t = 12s

Acceleration of the body,

Acceleration = F/m

Acceleration = 333.62/364.848

Acceleration = 0.91 m/[tex]s^2[/tex]

What is the ratio of the nuclear densities of two nuclie having mass numbers in ratio 1:4

Answers

Answer:

[tex]1:1[/tex]

Explanation:

As the nuclear density is independent of mass number, so the ratio of nuclear densities of the two given nuclei is 1:1.

Given:-

Two nuclei have mass number in the ratio of 1:4.

To find:-

The ratio of nuclear densities of the two nuclei.

Answer:-

The nuclear densities for all atoms is same and it doesn't depends on mass number.

So the ratio of the nuclear densities will be 1:1 .

[tex]\implies \underline{\underline{\green{ \rm Ratio= 1:1}}}[/tex]

_________________________________________

Additional information:-

Here I would be providing you the proof for the same .

Firstly we know that the volume of nucleus is directly proportional to its mass number ( Why ? because as the mass number increases , nucleons increases so volume increases) . Therefore;

[tex]\implies V = \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \\[/tex]

And ,

[tex]\implies V \propto A \\[/tex]

So ,

[tex]\implies \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \propto A \\[/tex]

[tex]\implies r^3 \propto A \\[/tex]

[tex]\implies r\propto A^{\dfrac{1}{3}} \\[/tex]

[tex]\implies r = r_0 A^{\dfrac{1}{3}} \dots\rm{(1)} \\[/tex]

where,

[tex]r_0[/tex] is a constant and its value is 1.2 fm .[tex] A[/tex] = Mass number[tex] r[/tex] = radius of nucleus.

Now in order to find out the nuclear density , say [tex]\rho[/tex] ; we have ;

[tex]\implies \rho =\dfrac{Mass_{\rm nucleus}}{Volume_{\rm nucleus}} \\[/tex]

Now let's assume that there are m nucleons and their average mass number is A . So the average mass of m nucleons would be mA .

[tex]\implies \rho = \dfrac{mA}{ \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3}\\[/tex]

From equation (1) , we have ;

[tex]\implies \rho = \dfrac{mA}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi (r_0 A^{\dfrac{1}{3}})^3} \\[/tex]

[tex]\implies \rho = \dfrac{mA}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r_0^3 A} \\[/tex]

[tex]\implies \underline{\underline{\green{\rho = \dfrac{3m}{4\pi r_0^3}}}} \\[/tex]

Now we can see that all the terms in the RHS of the equation are constants. This implies that nuclear density is also constant for all atoms independent of their mass numbers .

And we are done!

The position vector is obtained as r = 1.12 k + 0.58 i  + 1.22 j.

If object is changing its direction or speed of the object is changing then the object is said to be accelerating

Acceleration, rate at which velocity changes with time, in terms of both speed and direction. A point or an object moving in a straight line is accelerated if it speeds up or slows down. Motion on a circle is accelerated even if the speed is constant, because the direction is continually changing.

If an object is changing its velocity -whether the velocity is changing by a constant amount or by a varying amount  a constant amount - then it is an accelerating object.

Since, acceleration is a vector quantity and vector quantity have both magnitude and direction , this implies that if the body is changing its direction then also the object is said to be accelerating.

The alteration of an object's location is known as displacement. The shortest distance between the final location and the starting position is another way to express it.

Movement = x = x2 - x1

A notion that gives a "map" of electric field lines was put out by Michael Faraday. The lines of the electric field are also known as lines of force since the electric field is the electric force per unit charge. The distribution of electric field lines also reveals the size or strength of the field. Lines are more closely spaced, therefore the electric field is stronger.

The lines are more dispersed at greater separations when the electric field is weaker. In general, it is true that areas with tighter field lines have a greater electric field. The number of lines per unit area traveling perpendicularly through a surface is proportional to the strength of the electric field regardless of the number of charges present.
