A roller coaster uses 800 000 J of energy to get to the top of the first hill. During this climb, it gains 500 000 J of potential energy and pauses (velocity = 0) for a fraction of a second at the

very top before heading down the other side.

a) Draw a Sankey diagram for the roller coaster’s climb.

b) What's the kinetic energy at the very top? How do you know?

c) What would be the "useful energy" during its climb to the top? How do you know?

d) How much energy was lost due to friction? (Use Ebefore = Eafter).

e) Calculate the efficiency of the roller coaster during this part of the ride (the climb).

A23 kg log of wood begins from rest, 300 m up a sluice (a water track used to transport logs, think of it as an inclined plane with negligible friction) inclined at 20° to the horizontal. after it reaches the flat waterway at the bottom it collides elastically with a 100 kg block of wood initially at rest near the base of the incline. (a) how long does it take the 23 kg log to travel down the incline? (b) what is the speed of the 23 kg log at the bottom of the incline? (c) what are the velocities of both blocks of wood after the collision? (d) what is the total kinetic energy before the collision? (e) what is the kinetic energy of the 23 kg log after the collision? (f) what is the kinetic energy of the 100 kg block of wood after the collision? (g) what is the total kinetic energy after the collision? (h) compare the total initial and total final kinetic energies. is this consistent with what you would expect for elastic collisions? explain!

A100 kg running back runs at 5m/s into a stationary linebacker. it takes 0.5 for the running back to be completely stopped

The man of mass m1 and the woman of mass m2 are standing on opposite ends of the platform of mass m0 which moves with negligible friction and is initially at rest with s = 0. the man and woman begin to approach each other. derive an expression for the displacement s of the platform when the two meet in terms of the displacement x1 of the man relative to the platform.
