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.

Points of maximum amplitude on a standing wave are called
kupik [55]

Answer:

Anti nodes

Explanation:

There are mainly two points in amplitude of standing wave one is where amplitude is zero and one is where amplitude is maximum

The point where the magnitude of standing wave is zero is called nodes and the points where magnitude of amplitude in standing wave is maximum is called anti nodes

So anti nodes will be answer

An 82.0 kg spacewalking astronaut pushes off a 655 kg satellite, exerting a 95.0 N force for the 0.530 s it takes him to straigh
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

41.41 m

Explanation:

When force F is applied on an object of mass m for time t and velocity v₁ is created

F X t = mv₁

F = 95 N , t = .53 s, m = 655 kg

95 x .53 = 655 x v₁

v₁ = .0768 m/s

Applying conservation of momentum on man and satellite

m₁ v₁ = m₂v₂

655 x .0768 = 82 xv₂

v₂ = .6134 m/s

their relative velocity

= .6134 + .0768

= .6902 ( they are in opposite direction )

After 60 second distance between them

= 60 x .6902 m

= 41.41 m

Does wind have atoms and molecules in int
satela [25.4K]
All forms of matter are comprised of atoms. Wind in itself is the movement of particles(air). Wind does not have particles since it is an action and not a form of matter.

A car has a momentum of 20,000 kg • m/s. What would the car’s momentum be if its velocity doubles?
AnnyKZ [126]

To answer this question, it helps enormously if you know
the formula for momentum:

           Momentum = (mass) x (speed) .

Looking at the formula, you can see that momentum is directly
proportional to speed.  So if speed doubles, so does momentum.

If the car's momentum is 20,000 kg-m/s now, then after its speed
doubles, its momentum has also doubled, to 40,000 kg-m/s.
