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: The focal length of the lens = 3.32 cm.

Explanation:

Lens formula : \dfrac1f=\dfrac1v-\dfrac1u    (i)

f= focal length , v=image distance , u =object distance.

magnification: m = \dfrac{v}{u}   (ii )

Given: v= -12.8 cm , m =2.85

Put values in (ii), we get

2.85=\dfrac{-12.8}{u}\\\\\Rightarrow\ u=\dfrac{-12.8}{2.85}\\\\\Rightarrow\ u=-4.49\  cm

substitute values of u , v in (i)

\dfrac1f=\dfrac1{-12.8}-\dfrac{1}{4.49}\\\\\Rightarrow\dfrac1f=-0.30084214922\\\\\Rightarrow\ f=\dfrac{-1}{-0.30084214922}\approx3.32\ cm

Hence, the focal length of the lens = 3.32 cm.

A car is traveling at a speed of 33 m/s . (a) what is its speed in kilometers per hour? (b) is it exceeding the 90 km/h speed li
Zina [86]

According to the statement:

a) speed is equal to 118 km/h in kilometres per hour.

b) yes it is exceeding 90km/h.

<h3>What does speed mean?</h3>

The pace at which an object's position changes in any direction is referred to as speed. Speed is defined as the ratio of something like the distance traversed to the time required to cover that distance. . . Speed is a scalar quantity since it just has a direction and no magnitude..

<h3>How are the speeds determined?</h3>

Speed is determined by dividing the distance by the time. Calculating the units for speed requires knowledge of the units for both time and distance.. The units in this example will be meters per second (m/s), since the distance is measured in meters (m) and the time is measured in seconds (s).

(a)s₂= 118.km/h is its speed in kilometres per hour.

1h = 3600s

1km = 1000m

s₂= (33m/s) *\left(\frac{60 \times 60}{1000}\right)

= 118.8km/h

s₂= 118.km/h

(b) yes it is exceeding 90km/h.
