Across a horizontal distance of 25 feet, a roller coaster has a steep drop. The height of the roller coaster at the bottom of th

e drop is -125 feet, compared to its height at the top of the drop. What is the average amount that the roller coaster's height changes over each horizontal foot?

X = total horizontal distance = 25 ft

Y = total vertical distance = 125 ft

x = horizontal distance = 1 ft

y = vertical distance = ?

using the equation

y = (Y/X) (x)

inserting the values

y = (125/25) (1)

y = 5 ft

hence for each horizontal foot, the average height change is 5 ft

or

25 ft horizontal distance traveled = 125 ft vertical distance dropped

dividing both side by 25

25 ft horizontal distance traveled/25 = 125 ft vertical distance dropped/25

1 foot horizontal distance traveled = 25 ft vertical distance dropped

Answer: -5

Explanation: You correctly divided the absolute values, but since you are dividing a negative height by a positive number of horizontal feet, the answer is negative. What the hell I thought this answer was supposed to be verified....By who the same person that gave the wrong answer?????

Two children hang by their hands from the same tree branch. the branch is straight, and grows out from the tree trunk at an angl
Ratling [72]

The net torque exerted by the children on the branch of the tree is 1382 N-m.

The torque exert by the kids is calculated as

T= 45.6*9.8*1.28*cos27.5°+36*9.8*(2.25-1.28)cos27.5°

T=1382 N-m

Hence, The net torque exerted by the children on the branch of the tree is 1382 N-m.

A capacitor acquires a charge of 0.003 C when connected across a 30-V battery. Its capacitance is _____.
USPshnik [31]
Charge stored in a capacitor given by Q = C*V.

So, C = Q / V.

V=30V,  Q=0.003C

C = 0.0001F  or 100μF
