The roller coaster ride starts with the car at rest at point A.
a. Rank from greatest to least the car’s speed at each point.
b. Rank from greatest to least the car’s kinetic energy at each point.
c. Rank from greatest to least the car’s potential energy at each point.
(a)
To Rank: Car's speed from greatest to least.
Answer to Problem 29A
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Speed is how fast or how slow the object is moving. It is a scalar quantity.
At point A, the car is at height so its speed is zero. When car comes to point B, its potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. So, it comes to position B with high speed. At point B, its speed is high. Again, car goes to point C so its speed decreases and then car speed increases at point D. At point E the car finally reaches certain height by gaining potential energy. The height of point Eis less than point A.
Conclusion:
The ranking of car's speed from greatest to least is D, B, C, E, A.
(b)
To Rank: Car’s kinetic energy from greatest to least.
Answer to Problem 29A
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
When an object is in motion, it possess the kinetic energy. Its SI unit is joules.
Kinetic energy of car depends on car's speed. As speed of car increases, kinetic energy increases. At high point car, has high potential energy and low kinetic energy. Here car's speed is high at point D and it decreases for point B, C, E, A.
Conclusion:
Ranking of car's kinetic energy from greatest to least is D, B, C, E, A.
(c)
To Rank:Car’s potential energy from greatest to least.
Answer to Problem 29A
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Potential energy is the energy possessed by the object due to its position. Potential energy is high if object position is high and low if object’s position is low.
Potential energy of car is proportional to car's height. Potential energy will be high for high car's position and low for low position.
Here car's position is measured from ground will be from highest to lowest will be A, E, C, B and D.
Conclusion:
Ranking of car's potential energy from greatest to least is A, E, C, B and D.

Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion? What about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one- way trip from the the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets? (c) To reach Mars from the…arrow_forward
