Zarrin [17]3 years ago

Roller coasters work by utilizing its potential energy. Potential energy is "lost" as the cars lose height, subsequently gaining kinetic energy as revealed by increased speeds (and loop the loop). As the cars of the roller coaster course through the changing heights, it constantly swaps between potential and kinetic energy. Theoretically, this process could be endless. However, energy is continually "lost" because of dissipative forces such as friction and air resistance.

Why is the sky blue ?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Blue light is scattered in all directions by the tiny molecules of air in Earth's atmosphere.

Explanation:

Blue is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time. Closer to the horizon, the sky fades to a lighter blue or white.

A powerful missile reaches a speed of 5 kilometers per second in 10 seconds after its launch. What is the average acceleration o
AveGali [126]

Average acceleration  =  (change in speed)  /  (time for the change)

The missile's change in speed is  (5,000 - 0)  =  5,000 m/s

Average acceleration  =  (5,000 m/s)  /  (10 sec)

                                 =      500 m/s²       (about  51 Gs)

Inconveniently, this isn't one of the choices on the list. Is there something wrong, either with the choices or with my solution ?

No. Relax. Everything is OK.

500 meters is the same thing as 0.5 kilometer.  So my answer can also be written as  0.5 km/s² .  That doesn't change anything, and it IS one of the listed choices.

The average acceleration is <em>0.5 km/sec²  (d)</em> .
