(a) The work required to get the coaster to the top of the first hill is  1,594,538.4 J.

(b) The power required to bring the train to the top of the first hill is 39,863.46 W.

(c) The energy lost when the coaster drops is 531,512.8 J.

(d) The left at the bottom is determined as 1,063,025.6 J.

<h3>Work done to bring the rollercoaster top of the hill</h3>

W = Fn x d = mgh

W = 3874 x 9.8 x 42

W = 1,594,538.4 J

<h3>Power dissipated in bringing the rollercoaster on top hill</h3>

P = Fv

P = Fd/t

P = W/t

P = 1,594,538.4 /40 = 39,863.46 W

<h3>Energy lost when the coaster drops</h3>

E = 1,594,538.4 - (3874 x 9.8 x 28)

E = 531,512.8 J

<h3>Energy left at the bottom</h3>

E = 3874 x 9.8 x 28 = 1,063,025.6 J

Sam is walking through the park. He hears a police car coming down the street toward him. What happens to the sound of the siren
geniusboy [140]
I believe it is the first one.
This is because of the Doppler Effect. 
The Doppler Effect is when the frequency of the wave changes for an observer moving relative to the wave source.
Basically, as the police car moves away from you, the distance between you and the car increases, which makes the sound waves spread out.

In the formula vy=a t what is the value of a for an object in projectile motion
Rus_ich [418]
I THINK that formula gives the vertical speed of a projectile at the time
't' seconds after it's launched. 

(I can't really be sure of anything, because whenever you show a formula
to other people, you're supposed to tell them what each variable in it means,
and you didn't do that.)

If I'm on the right track, then the 'a' is the acceleration of gravity wherever
the projectile is flying.  If that happens to be on Earth, then the acceleration
is  9.8 meters per second² .

5. A car accelerates from rest down a highway at 6 m/s2 for 5 seconds. What distance did the car travel during acceleration?
Mumz [18]

Answer:

75 m

Explanation:

The distance x for a uniform acceleration is given by the equation:

x = \frac{1}{2}at^{2}+v_ot+x_o

The given values are:

a = 6 m/s², t = 5 s, v₀ = 0, x₀ = 0

how did we discover how to brake the sound barior and why did we not go as fast as the speed of light
quester [9]

The problem of the "sound barrier" has to do with moving through
air, and the things the air does when you try to push it out of the
way faster than the speed of sound.  Moving through air faster
than sound was an engineering and technological problem, not
a scientific one.

Concerning light, that's about 874 thousand times faster.
