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.
Answer:27 km per hour West + 17 km per hour North
Answer:
c) may also be conserved
Explanation:
Momentum is conserved in both elastic and inelastic type of collisions.
But the differences is that:
In an ELASTIC type of collisions, KINETIC ENERGY IS ALSO CONSERVED.
whereas, In an INELASTIC type of collision, KINETIC ENERGY IS NOT CONSERVED.
So unless until type of collision is specified, we can not say anything about the conservation of kinetic energy after collision.
Hence, may also be conserved is the appropriate option here.
-- The long line and short line close together at the left side
of the diagram represent a single-cell battery.
It's the only one in this diagram.
It's a device that stores chemical energy and delivers it on demand.
-- The zig-zag lines with circles around them represent light bulbs.
There are three of them in this diagram.
They are devices used to produce light by dissipating electrical energy.
-- The zig-zag lines without circles, at the top of the diagram,
represent resistors.
There are two of them in this diagram.
They are devices used to change or control electrical parameters
within a circuit by dissipating electrical energy.
-- The short straight line between two small circles at the bottom
of the diagram represents a switch.
There is only one switch in this circuit.
It's a device used to easily and quickly start or stop the flow of current
past a certain point in a circuit.
In this circuit ...
-- When the switch is closed (as drawn), the light bulb nearest the battery
glows brightest, the light bulb in the middle glows less bright, and the light
bulb on the right side glows dimmest of all.
-- When the switch is open, the light bulb nearest the battery glows, and
neither of the other two light bulbs glows at all.
