A roller coaster is moving at 25m/s at the bottom of a hill. Three seconds later it reaches the top of the hill moving at 10m/s.
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity per unit time. Therefore, acceleration,
where is change in velocity and t is time
Substituting initial and final velocities with 25 m/s and 10 m/s then using time as given in the question of 3 s then
Therefore, the acceleration is

Explanation:
We define force as the product of mass and acceleration.
F = ma
It means that the object has zero net force when it is in rest state or it when it has no acceleration. However in the case of liquids. just like the above mentioned case, the water is at rest but it is still exerting a pressure on the walls of the swimming pool. That pressure exerted by the liquids in their rest state is known as hydro static force.
Given Data:
Width of the pool = w = 50 ft
length of the pool = l= 100 ft
Depth of the shallow end = h(s) = 4 ft
Depth of the deep end = h(d) = 10 ft.
weight density = ρg = 62.5 lb/ft
Solution:
a) Force on a shallow end:
b) Force on deep end:
c) Force on one of the sides:
As it is mentioned in the question that the bottom of the swimming pool is an inclined plane so sum of the forces on the rectangular part and triangular part will give us the force on one of the sides of the pool.
1) Force on the Rectangular part:
2) Force on the triangular part:
here
h = h(d) - h(s)
h = 10-4
h = 6ft
now add both of these forces,
F = 25000lb + 150000lb
F = 175000lb
d) Force on the bottom:
