Write a conclusion to this lab in which you discuss when a person on a roller coaster ride would have sensations of weightlessne

ss and when they would have sensations of weightiness. In your discussion, talk about accelerations and forces. Then finish off your conclusion by using Newton's second law to explain why such accelerations and force conditions cause these sensations.

Answer:

the lower segment of the curve     N = M (g + v² / r)

the upper segment of the curve          N = m (v² / r - g)

Explanation:

A roller coaster features an extended ascent that enables the car to gain gravitational potential energy, which converts into kinetic energy, leading to a curve experience. In these curves, there are two sections: the lower section where riders experience heightened weight and the upper section where they feel lighter or weightless.

These feelings can be analyzed through Newton's second law; we will apply it to the lower section of the curve

         N - W = m a

the acceleration here is centripetal

        a = v² / r

substituting these values

        N = mg + m v² / r

        N = M (g + v² / r)

At this point, the perceived weight escalates due to the square of the body's speed, resulting in a significant feeling of heaviness.

In the top section of the curve, gravitational force still acts downward, and the normal force, which reacts to the surface, also pushes downwards, while the centripetal acceleration heads toward the curve's center, also directed vertically downward

        -N - W = -m a

         N = ma - W

         N = m (v² / r - g)

In this instance, the normal force, which generates the weight sensation, diminishes, leading to the perception of decreased weight. When v² / r equals g, the feeling of weightlessness becomes complete.

A soft drink (mostly water) flows in a pipe at a beverage plant with a mass flow rate that would fill 220 cans, 0.355 - l each,
Keith_Richards [3271]
Flow rate calculations yield 220 cans, each with a volume of 0.355 l, leading to 78.1 l/min or 1.3 l/s or 0.0013 m³/s.

At Point 2:
A2 = 8 cm² = 0.0008 m²
V2 = Flow rate/A2 = 0.0013/0.0008 = 1.625 m/s
P1 = 152 kPa = 152000 Pa

At Point 1:
A1 = 2 cm² = 0.0002 m²
V1 = Flow rate/A1 = 0.0013/0.0002 = 6.5 m/s
P1 =?
Height = 1.35 m

Using Bernoulli’s principle;
P2 + 1/2 * V2² / density = P1 + 1/2 * V1² / density + density * gravitational acceleration * height
=> 152000 + 0.5 * (1.625)² * 1000 = P1 + 0.5 * (6.5)² * 1000 + (1000 * 9.81 * 1.35)
=> 153320.31 = P1 + 34368.5
=> P1 = 1533210.31 - 34368.5 = 118951.81 Pa = 118.95 kPa

A 5 kg block moves with a constant speed of 10 ms to the right on a smooth surface where frictional forces are considered to be
Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer:

The work done, W = 19.6 J

Explanation:

It’s provided that

The mass of the block, m = 5 kg

The velocity of the block, v = 10 m/s

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and rough surface is 0.2

Distance traveled by the block, d = 2 m

As the block traverses the rough section, it loses energy equal to the work done by the kinetic energy.

W=\mu_kmgd

W=0.2\times 5\times 9.8\times 2

W = 19.6 J

Thus, the change in kinetic energy of the block moving through the rough section is 19.6 J. Consequently, this is the required answer.

A vector of magnitude 10 has an angle with the positive x axis (east) of 120 degrees. what are its components
Softa [3030]
The angle formed with the positive x-axis is 120 degrees. We can assume that this angle is determined in a counterclockwise direction from the positive x-axis. The x-component of the vector can be calculated as: x-component = 10 cos(120) = -5. The vector's y-component is determined as: y-component = 10 sin(120) = 8.66. The x-component equates to -5 while the y-component equals 8.66.

A beaker of negligible heat capacity contains 456 g of ice at -25.0°C. A lab technician begins to supply heat to the container a
Maru [3345]
The response is 176 minutes. The translation of 456 g equals 0.456 kg. The specific heat of ice is 2093 J kg⁻¹, used to calculate heat required for a 25-degree rise, determined by mass multiplied by specific heat and temperature increase. The necessary calculations yield a total heat load of 176164 J. Finally, by dividing heat required by heat supply rate, we ascertain that it will take approximately 176.16 minutes.

A jogger accelerates from rest to 3.0 m/s in 2.0 s. A car accelerates from 38.0 to 41.0 m/s also in 2.0 s. (a) Find the accelera
Sav [3153]

Answer:

a) The jogger's acceleration is 1.5 m/s²

b) The car's acceleration is also 1.5 m/s²

c) Yes, the car covers a distance 76 m greater than the jogger.

Explanation:

a) Acceleration is the change in velocity over a given time interval:

a = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time

For the jogger:

a = (3.0 m/s - 0 m/s) / 2.0 s = 1.5 m/s²

b) For the car:

a = (41.0 m/s - 38.0 m/s) / 2.0 s = 1.5 m/s²

c) To find how far the car has traveled after 2 seconds, use the formula for position under acceleration along a straight path:

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ a t²

where

x = position at time t

x₀ = initial position

v₀ = initial velocity

t = elapsed time

a = acceleration

Assuming x₀ = 0 (origin at car's starting point):

x = 38.0 m/s × 2 s + ½ × 1.5 m/s² × (2.0 s)²

x = 79 m

Similarly, position of the jogger after 2 seconds is:

x = 0 m/s × 2 s + ½ × 1.5 m/s² × (2.0 s)² = 3 m

The difference traveled by the car compared to the jogger is 79 m - 3 m = 76 m
