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?????

What is non-point source pollution, and why is this kind of pollution hard to monitor and control?
antoniya [11.8K]

The use of pesticides in farming land is example of non-point source pollution. The area of emitting of pollution is very large. That is why, it is difficult to monitor and control this type of pollution.

Americans get their water for everyday use through aquifer. Aquifers can be conserve by avoiding high amount of chemical uses and reducing household waste. Also the sustainable use of water cause conservation of natural resource.

Aquifer are basically underground water present in ground pores. The structure of aquifer just look like sponge. The water moves through the porous surfaces of the ground.

The metal cases of electrical appliances are connected to an earth wire.Which statement is not correct?A The live wire may becom
labwork [276]

Given that metal cases of electrical appliances are connected to the wire, let's select the statement which is not correct from the list of statements.

The earth wire is used to protect you and help reduce the risk of receiving an electric shock. The earth wire reduces the risk of electric shock by creating a path for a fault or lose current to flow to the Earth.

The Live wire may become loose and touch the metal case. In this case, the earth wire will channel the fault current to the earth thereby reducing the risk of electric shock.

If the metal case becomes live, the earth wire conducts current to the ground. This helps prevent electric shock from the metal case.

The Earth wire has low or no resistance. It is always made of copper.

It provides a low resistance path to the ground.

Therefore, the statement ''the earth wire needs to have high resistance'' is NOT current.

ANSWER:

C. The earth wire needs to have a high reistance.
