The ship floats in water due to the buoyancy Fb that is given by the equation:

Fb=ρgV, where ρ is the density of the liquid, g=9.81 m/s² is the acceleration of the force of gravity and V is volume of the displaced liquid.

The density of fresh water is ρ₁=1000 kg/m³.

The density of salt water is in average ρ₂=1025 kg/m³.

To compare the volumes of liquids that are displaced by the ship we can take the ratio of buoyancy of salt water Fb₂ and the buoyancy of fresh water Fb₁.

The gravity force of the ship Fg=mg, where m is the mass of the ship and g=9.81  m/s², is equal to the force of buoyancy Fb₁ and Fb₂ because the mass of the ship doesn't change:
 
Fg=Fb₁ and Fg=Fb₂. This means Fb₁=Fb₂.

Now we can write:

Fb₂/Fb₁=(ρ₂gV₂)/(ρ₁gV₁), since Fb₁=Fb₂, they cancel out:

1/1=1=(ρ₂gV₂)/(ρ₁gV₁), g also cancels out:

(ρ₂V₂)/(ρ₁V₁)=1, now we can input ρ₁=1000 kg/m³ and ρ₂=1025 kg/m³

(1025V₂)/(1000V₁)=1

1.025(V₂/V₁)=1

V₂/V₁=1/1.025=0.9756, we multiply by V₁

V₂=0.9756V₁

Volume of salt water V₂ displaced by the ship is smaller than the volume of sweet water V₁ because the force of buoyancy of salt water is greater than the force of fresh water because salt water is more dense than fresh water.

The definition of speed is (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .

So a unit of speed has to be (a unit of length) / (a unit of time) .

Here are several perfectly fine units of speed:

-- miles per hour

-- feet per second

-- meters per second

-- kilometers per hour

-- inches per second

-- centimeters per minute

-- yards per Century

-- furlongs per fortnight

-- nanometers per microsecond

-- Smoots per week

-- parsecs per millenium

At what minimum speed must a roller coaster be traveling when upside down at the top of a circle so that the passengers do not f
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

v_{min} \approx 17.153\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The roller coaster begins with maximum kinetic energy and no gravitational potential energy. The gravitational potential energy reaches its maximum when roller coaster is upside down at the top of the circle. The physical model for the roller coaster is constructed by means of the Principle of Energy Conservation:

\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{min}^{2} = m\cdot g \cdot h

The minimum velocity is:

v_{min} = \sqrt{2\cdot g \cdot h}

Let assume that radio of curvature is measured in meters. Hence:

v_{min} = \sqrt{2\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot(15\,m)}

v_{min} \approx 17.153\,\frac{m}{s}
