Please answer in Essay Form. Write legibly. Thank you
1. Explain in detail when work done is positive and work done is negative and under what circumstances (if any) is no work done (zero) on a moving object even though a net force acts on it?
2. One sometimes speaks of the "direction of time", evolving from past to future. Does this mean that time is a vector quantity? Explain your reasoning.
3. The acceleration of a certain moving object is constant in magnitude and direction. Must the path of the object is a straight-line? If not, give an example.
Please answer all components of the question:
An amusement park ride uses magnets to accelerate a 500 kg car to an initial speed of 15 m/s. The roller coaster then begins to coast up a hill.
a) What energy conversion takes place as the car goes up the hill? Justify
b) What is the maximum height that the car can attain without receiving additional energy? Show your work.
c) If the car loses 10,000 J of energy to friction, what height will it attain instead? Show your work.
Write your solution and answer correctly.
1. After a leaf falls from a tree, an apple falls next. If the apple has a potential energy of 97 J and a kinetic energy of 420 J, how much energy is present on the apple?
