You are on vacation in San Francisco and decide to take a cable car to see the city. A 5800-kgkg cable car goes 260 mm up a hill inclined 17 ∘∘ above the horizontal. The system is the car and Earth. Part A Determine the change in the total energy of the system when the car moves from the bottom to the top. Ignore friction.

Explanation:

Mass of the cable car, m = 5800 kg

It goes 260 m up a hill, along a slope of

Therefore vertical elevation of the car =

Now, when you get into the cable car, it's velocity is zero, that is, initial kinetic energy is zero (since K.E. = ). Similarly as the car reaches the top, it halts and hence final kinetic energy is zero.

Therefore the only possible change in the cable car system is the change in it's gravitational potential energy.

Hence, total change in energy = mgh =

where, g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height/vertical elevation

"i have always loved contemporary art and made it a general goal to work within the field. after a few nonprofit internships at museums and galleries, i decided to try the for-profit art world and was offered a job as the ad assistant at the magazine. i much prefer the pace of the for-profit art community and have stayed with the company for three years, with a promotion to an account manager last spring."

i just did this and got a 100.

the simple machine has three main features. they are:

fulcrum is the center point or pivot point of the machine. effort is input force/ applied force. load is external force/ output.

the keisha 's machine labels are

x : load

y: fulcrum

z: lever
