Given that,

Initial velocity , Vi = 0

Final velocity , Vf = 40 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity , a = 9.81 m/s²

Distance can be calculated as,

2as = Vf² - Vi²

2 * 9.81 *s = 40² - 0²

s = 81.55 m

For half height, that is, s = 40.77m

Vf= ??

2as = Vf² - Vi²

2 * 9.81 * 40.77 = Vf² - 0²

Vf² = 800

Vf = 28.28 m/s

Therefore, speed of roller coaster when height is half of its starting point will be 28 m/s.

Answer: Evaporation happens by heat being transferred to the pot, then the pot transfering the heat to the water, which caused the water to vibrate more, eventually turning it into water vapor, which is how evaporation happens on the stove.

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

hydrostatic pressure, P=hρg,

where 'h' is the ht of the liq column and ρ is the density of the liquid and 'g' is the effective acceleration, but as far as hydroSTATICS is concerned, g stands for the acceleration due to gravity

Answer:

B. Identifying the types of data to be gathered

Explanation:

Identifying the types of data to be gathered is one of the part of designing a set of experimental procedure.

An experimental procedure is a methodical process that must be followed in order to attain the goal of the experiment.

  • As with most experiments, data is collected for further analysis and interpretation.
  • The choice of way of collecting data and the type of data to be collected is very important when designing an experiment.

agasfer [191]

Answer:

D) 1000 m/s

Explanation:

wavelength = \frac{velocity}{frequency}

You have the wavelength and frequency, you just need to solve for velocity. You can do this by multiplying each side of the equation by frequency.

Hope this helps.
