A roller coaster starts from rest at point A. The mass of the cart with O A. Point A riders is 900 kg. The motor of the roller coaster does work to get the car up the hill to point B. From point B, the car relies on energy transformations to make it through the rest of the shown portions of the roller coaster. [g=9.8 m/s²] B. Point B C. Point C O D. Point D Aarrow_forward

The spring constant has units of N/m. Work can be calculated for a force that depends on position. Work is the slope of the force vs. position graph. If we stretch a spring twice as far beyond the rest length, the spring force is 4x larger. If we stretch a spring twice as far beyond the rest length, the potential energy is 4x larger.arrow_forward
- 1. A student of mass 40 kg caries a bag weighing 5000g from the ground floor to his class on the first floor that is 700 cm high. The work done by the boy is = 2. The above diagram shows a cyclist at different positions as she cycles over a humpback bridge. The cyclist has maximum Kinetic Energy at • and maximum Potential energy at 3. A body moves a distance of 15 m along a straight line under the action of 25 N force. If work done is 45 J, then angle between the force and direction of motion of the body will be = 4. How much is the work done in pulling up a block of wood weighing 300 N for a length of 300 cm on a smooth plane inclined at an angle of 35° with the horizontal? Answer =arrow_forwardWhen a roller coaster is at the top of a steep hill, its potential energy is maximum. When it hurdles down the slope and comes to the bottom, the potential energy reduces greatly. Hence we can say that the law of conservation of energy is not valid here since energy is destroyed. a) True b) Falsearrow_forwardWrite on paper pls A work of 12 J is needed to stretch a certain spring by 30 cm a) What is the force constant of the spring? b) How much work must be done to stretch the spring 4.00 cm? c) When released from rest from 4.00 cm position what would be the speed at the unstretched position?arrow_forward
