the graph. Graph paper is provided below. (3 marks)

Table 2: Potential energy, kinetic energy, total energy, velocity of the 300 kg roller coaster cart.


Graphs:

It’s graphing time. These graphs are a bit different than the ones you did in the

data analysis assignment at the beginning of the course. In this case you have

three things to graph on each graph. (One graph for the 800 kg roller coaster cart

and one graph for the 300 kg roller coaster cart.) You need to graph the

gravitational potential energy with respect to height, the mechanical kinetic

energy vs height, and the velocity vs height.

Let’s look at the energy graphs first. In this case both kinetic energy and

mechanical energy cover the same range of values. This means they can use the

same scale on the y-axis. So, you will use the left y-axis and the x-axis to graph

the kinetic energy vs height and the potential energy vs height. You will need a

legend to explain which line is which. Colour coding is a nice way to highlight this.

The velocity values are much different than the energy values. This means you

need a totally different scale. So, your left y-axis won’t work. You need to make a

second scale on the right y-axis for your velocity values. You will plot the points

the same way as normal, but you will use the numbers on the right-hand scale

instead. Again, be sure to add your velocity line to the legend with a separate

colour code.


Discussion Questions:

1. Describe the relationship between the gravitational potential energy and the mechanical kinetic

energy of the roller coaster on your graph. (2 marks)

6. In your calculations, you assumed that the roller coaster was frictionless. All real roller coasters

encounter friction. Describe how the actual values of the variables would differ, or not differ,

from your calculated values for a real roller coaster. (Hint: what form of energy would some of

the total energy be converted to if there was friction in the system?) (4 marks)

The removal of heat energy slows the speed of particles

Explanation:

When you add heat to a substance, the heat energy gets transferred to kinetic energy, and the molecules began to move a greater distance at a greater speed. When you remove heat, the opposite happens.

Visual constancy is a key mechanism that allows the perception to remain.the same even as images change

#CARRYONLEARNING

Visual constancy is  important because it allows perceptions to remain the same even as images change.

Constancy phenomenon describes how people and animals tend to perceive familiar objects as having a constant shape, size, colour, or location regardless of adjustments to distance, illumination, or perspective. Instead of responding to the real stimulus, the impression has a tendency to adapt to the object as it is or is imagined to be.

The ability to recognise things in a variety of situations, which appear to be "taken into account" throughout a process of mental rebuilding of the known image, is a result of perceptual constancy. For instance, snow appears white in both the dim moonlight and the 800,000-fold brighter day. Reduced contextual cues that help with object identification and limited experience with the object both affect perceptual constancy.

Answer:

17.5 N

Explanation:

→ F = (2.5 × 7.0) N

→ F = 25/10 × 7 N

→ F = 5/2 × 7 N

→ F = (5 × 7)/2 N

→ F = 35/2 N

→ F = 17.5 N towards left

For an ideal spring over a frictionless horizontal surface, stored energy is only a function of the spring constant k and the distance of compression. The mass of the block doing the compressing is irrelevant

Energy stored in the first example is

Em = ½kd²

Energy stored in the second example is

E₂m = ½k(2d)² = 4(½kd²) = 4Em

So the second situation has four times as much stored spring potential energy as the first situation

4 Em is correct

b) t = v/a

t = 200 / 7.2 x 10⁻⁶

t = 2.8 x 10⁷ s       about 10½ months

c) v² = u² + 2as

s = (v² - u²) / 2a

Answer:

9sqrt4

Explanation:

Assuming you mean 6.0i m/s and (-2.0i + 4.0j) m/s^2:

The maximum positive x coordinate is when the time is 3 seconds, because the horizontal velocity will be zero, and therefore will be a turning point, where after that point the x coordinate will only be more negative.

After 3 seconds the x coordinate is 6*3+1/2*-2*3^2=9, and the y coordinate will be 1/2*4*3^2=18.

The distance from the origin is sqrt(9^2+18^2) = 9*sqrt(1+4)

At the instant the particle achieves its maximum positive x coordinate, the displacement is 4.03 m.

The displacement of the particle is calculated as follows;

v² = u² + 2as

where;

a = √(2² + 4²) = 4.47 m/s²

0 = u² + 2as

s = -u²/2a

s = -(6²)/(2 x 4.47)

s = -4.03 m

Thus, at the instant the particle achieves its maximum positive x coordinate, the displacement is 4.03 m.

The relationship between the potential and the electric field allows to find the results for the value of the electric field as a function of the distance is:

Electric potential is defined by the change in potential energy of a test charge between two points, between the value of the test charge.

          dV = - E . ds

          E = [tex]- \frac{dV}{ds} \ \hat s[/tex]  

Where the bold letters indicate vectors, V is the potential difference, E the electric field and s the path.

Let's apply this expression for each section of the given graph:

1) section from x₀ = 0 to x_f = 2 m, the potential is V₀ = 2 V is constant.

  The derivative of a constant is zero.

        E = 0

2) Section between x₀ = 2 and x_f = 4 m, the potential varies linearly from V₀ = 2 v to V_f = -2 V.

We look for the equation of the line.

       V-V₀ = m (x- x₀)

We carry out the derivative.

      E = - m i ^

The slope (m) is:

       [tex]m= \frac{V_f - V_o}{x_f- x_o}[/tex]  

Let's calculate.

       [tex]m= \frac{-2 -2}{4-2} = \ -2 \ V/m[/tex]  

Let's substitute.

       E =  [tex]2 \hat i \ V/m[/tex]  

3) From x₀ = 4 to x_f = 4.5 m, the potential varies from V₀ = -2 to V_f = 0.

We look for the equation of the line and we derive.

      E = - m i ^

Let's  substitute.

      [tex]m = \frac{0-(-2)}{4.5-4} = \ 4 V/m[/tex]  

    E = - 4 [tex]\hat i[/tex] V / m

4) From x₀ = 4.5 m to x_f = 6m.  The potential is constant and the derivative of a constant is zero.

      E = 0

5) From x₀ = 6m to x_f = 8 m, the potential changes linearly from v₀ = 0 to V_f = 1 V

We look for the equation of the line and we derive.

       E = - m i ^

       [tex]m = \frac{1-0}{8-6} = \ 0.5 \ V/m[/tex]  

      E = - 0.5 [tex]\hat i[/tex] V/m

6) From x₀ = 8m to x_f = 9m, the potential changes linearly from V₀ = 1 V to V_f = -1.

We look for the equation of the line and we derive.

       E = - m i ^

       [tex]m = \frac{-1-1}{9-8} = \ -2 \ V/m[/tex]

Let's substitute.

       E = 2 [tex]\hat i[/tex] V/m

7) From x₀ = 9m to x_f = 10 m, the potential changes linearly from V₀ = -1 V to V_f = -2 V

We look for the equation of the line and we derive.

       E = - m i ^

       [tex]m = \frac{-2+1}{10-9} = \ -1 \ V/m[/tex]

Let's substitute.

       E = 1 [tex]\hat i[/tex]  V/m

m1 and m2 are the respective masses

r is the distance of separation.

Let the mass of the planet be M and the mass of the satellite be m. The distance of separation is r.

For satellite 1;

F = GmM/(2r)^2

F = GmM/4r^2

For satellite 2;

F2= G2mM/r^2

Explanation:

If it takes 4.4 Newton to lift 1 pound, then to lift 2 pounds the force required will be equal to 8.8 Newton.

A force in physics is an input that has the power to change an object's motion. A mass-containing object's velocity can vary, or accelerate, as a result of a force. Intuitively, a push or a pull can also be used to describe forces.

Being such a vector quantity, a force does have magnitude and direction. The SI unit metric newton is used to measure it (N). The letter F stands for force.

According to Newton's second law's original formulation, an object's net force is equal to the speed that its momentum is changing over time.

As per the given data in the question,

It takes 4.4 N to lift 1 pound,

Let the total force required to lift 2 pounds is x.

x = (4.4 × 2)/1

x = 8.8 N
