In Problem 2, what is the speed of the car at (a) point A, (b) point B(c) point C?(d) How high will the car go on the last hill, which is too high for it to cross? (e) If we substitute a second car with twice the mass, what then are the answers to (a) through and (d)?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The speed of the car at pointA is17.0m/s

b) The speed of the car at pointB is26.5m/s

c) the speed of the car at pointC is33.4m/s

d) Final height56.7m

e) Even if a second car has twice the mass, it is evident that the above results do not depend on mass. Thus, a different mass for the coaster must lead to the same results.

Step by step solution

01

Given

i) Mass of carm=825鈥嬧赌塳驳

ii) The height h=42鈥尘

iii) Gravitational acceleration g=9.8m/s2

iv) Initial velocityv0=17m/s

To understand the concept

The mechanical energy Emecof a system is the sum of its kinetic energy Kand potential energy U.

Formula:

K2+U2=K1+U1

K=12mv02

U=mgh

03

(a) Calculate the speed of the car at point A

At pointA,UA=mgh and at initial pointU0=mgh.

That means initial position of the car and point A is on same height, so,

UA=U0

K0+U0=KA+UA

K0=KA

鈭磖ole="math" localid="1661168162281" v0=vA=17.0m/s

04

(b) Calculate the speed of the car at point B

The height of pointB from bottom=h/2

UB=mgh2

From principle of conservation of mechanical energy,

K0+U0=KB+UB

12mv02+mgh=12mvB2+mgh2

We have to find VB, so rearrange the equation; we can get

vB2=2(mgh2+12mv02)m

vB=2(mgh2+12mv02)m

vB=(gh+v02)

vB=(9.8042.0+17.02)

vB=700.6

vB=26.5m/s

05

(c) Calculate the speed of the car at point C

The height of pointfrom bottom=0

UC=0

From principle of conservation of mechanical energy,

K0+U0=KC+UC

12mv02+mgh=12mvC2+0

We have to find vB, so rearrange the equation; we can get

vC2=2(mgh+12mv02)m

vC=2(gh+12v02)

vC=(2gh+v02)

vC=(29.8042.0+17.02)

vC=1112.2

vC=33.4m/s

06

(d) Calculate how high will the car go on the last hill, which is too high for it to cross

To find the 鈥渇inal鈥 height, we setKf=0.In this case, we have

K0+U0=Kf+Uf

12mv02+mgh=12mvB2+mghf

hf=h+v022g

hf=42.0+17229.80

hf=56.7m

07

(e) Calculate the answers to (a) through and (d) if we substitute a second car with twice the mass

From the formula, we can see that the results derived above are independent of mass. So change in mass would not change the values found above.

A horizontal force of magnitude 35.0 Npushes a block of mass 4.00 kgacross a floor where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.600. (a) How much work is done by that applied force on the block-floor system when the block slides through a displacement of 3.00 macross the floor? (b) During that displacement, the thermal energy of the block increases by40.0 J. What is the increase in thermal energy of the floor? (c) What is the increase in the kinetic energy of the block?

In Fig. 8-21, a small, initially stationary block is released on a frictionless ramp at a height of 3.0 m. Hill heights along the ramp are as shown in the figure. The hills have identical circular tops, and the block does not fly off any hill. (a) Which hill is the first the block cannot cross? (b) What does the block do after failing to cross that hill? Of the hills that the block can cross, on which hill-top is (c) the centripetal acceleration of the block greatest and (d) the normal force on the block least?

Approximately 5.5106kgof water falls 50 mover Niagara Falls each second. (a) What is the decrease in the gravitational potential energy of the water鈥揈arth system each second? (b) If all this energy could be converted to electrical energy (it cannot be), at what rate would electrical energy be supplied? (The mass of 1 m3of water is 1000 kg.) (c) If the electrical energy were sold at 1cent/KW.h, what would be the yearly income?

A worker pushed a 27 kgblock9.2 malong a level floor at constant speed with a force directed32below the horizontal. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and floor was 0.20, what were (a) the work done by the worker鈥檚 force and (b) the increase in thermal energy of the block鈥 floor system?

A volcanic ash flow is moving across horizontal ground when it encounters a10upslope. The front of the flow then travels 920 mup the slope before stopping. Assume that the gases entrapped in the flow lift the flow and thus make the frictional force from the ground negligible; assume also that the mechanical energy of the front of the flow is conserved. What was the initial speed of the front of the flow?
