A roller coaster car is loaded with passengers and has a mass of 500 kg along with a speed of 18 meters/second at the dip. The r

adius of curvature of the track at the bottom point of the dip is 12 meters (gravity = 9.8 meters/second2). What force is exerted on the roller coaster car by the track at the bottom of the dip?

The roller coaster is moving in a circular path, so the force that must be computed is the centripetal force. The centripetal force is the force acting on an object undergoing circular motion and is directed towards the center of the circular path. This is computed using:
F = mv²/r
F = (500 * 18²) / 12
F = 13,500 N

Now, at the bottom of the track, the track is also supporting the weight of the car and its passengers, which is:
W = mg
W = 500 * 9.81
W = 4,905 N

The total reactive force exerted by the track to counter the centripetal force and the weight of the car is:
F = 13,500 + 4,905
F = 18,405 Newtons

Write a simple rule that will tell a person how many water molecule will be lost while putting monosaccharides together to form
belka [17]
<span>For hydrolysis to monosaccharides, one molecule of a disaccharide needs only one molecule of water. C12H22O11 (sucrose) + H2O = C6H12O6 (glucose) + C6H12O6 (fructose) Structurally, a disaccharide molecule may be viewed as a product formed by the condensation of two molecules of monosaccharides with the elimination of a water molecule. So, only one H2O molecule is needed for the reverse process.</span>

A man weighing 720 N and a woman weighing 500 N have the same momentum. What is the ratio of the man's kinetic energy Km to that
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Because weight W = M g, the ratio of weights equals the ratio of masses.

(M_m g)/ (M_w g) = [ (p^2 Man )/ (2 K_man)] / [ (p^2 Woman )/ (2 K_woman)

but p's are equal, so

K_m/K_m = (M_w g)/(M_m g) = W_woman / W_man = 450/680 = 0.662Explanation:
