Explain the purpose of pumping while running through a half pipe

Physics
1 answer:
scoray [572]3 years ago
8 0
<span>The purpose of pumping is to increase overall velocity. The person drops down into a crouch while traversing the more-or-less flat bottom of the U-shaped pipe or bowl. Then, as he enters the sloped part of the ramp or bowl, called the transition, he straightens his legs and rises up. By raising his center of mass just at the beginning of the arc, the person gains energy and thereby increases his speed.</span>

Between the top of the first and the top of the second loop, the coaster has lost potential energy = mgh, where h = 22.2 - 15 = 7.2m

This energy would have converted to Kinetic. Write out an equation and the masses will cancel out. Does that hint help you to find the solution? If not, I will give you another hint.

A roller coaster car speed is 4 m/s, but 3 seconds later its speed is 22 m/s. What is its average acceleration?
Juli2301 [7.4K]
The velocity increased from 4 m/s to 22 m/s in 3 seconds. 18 m/s in 3 seconds so the average acceleration is change in velocity divided by time. 18 m/s divided by 3 seconds = 6 m/s^2
