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?????

Answer:

1⁺ ion

Explanation:

Metals in the first group on the periodic table will prefer to form 1⁺ ion. This is because the 1 valence electron in their orbital.

Most metals are electropositive and would prefer to lose electrons than to gain it.

Like all metals, the group 1 elements called the alkali metals would prefer to lose and electron.

On losing an electron the number of protons is then greater than the number of electrons. This leaves a net positive charge.

natima [27]

The correct answer is

C. reduce the friction between its moving parts


In fact, by reducing the friction between the moving parts of the machine, it is possible to reduce the energy wasted due to this friction; therefore, more input energy is converted into useful work, and this will improve the efficiency of the machine.

Because it has to do with the motion of something, especially if it changes its pace. In this example, the book's motion, when sliding on the table, decreased because of less force being given off from the student.
