-- It takes the brick 8.9 seconds to reach the ground.
-- At the instant of the "splat", it's falling at 89 m/s.
-- The mass doesn't matter. If not for air resistance, every object
would fall at the same rate. The answer is the same for a feather,
a rubber chicken, a brick, or a school bus.
Using g = 9.8 m/s2, the statement that best describes the roller coaster car when it is at the top of the loop-de-loop is that The car has both potential and kinetic energy, and it is moving at 24.6 m/s.
The correct answer is <span>B) The car has both potential and kinetic energy, and it is moving at 24.6 m/s.</span>
Finding acceleration= final speed-initial speed/time taken (or A=V-U\T)
Finial speed= 27.8s
Initial speed= 0s
Time taken= 5.15
So..
27.8-0/5.15= 5.40m/s (rounded to two decimal places)
I think it’s Energy is lost when machines don’t work right.
Velocity is the rate of change of position with respect to time, whereas acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Both are vector quantities (and so also have a specified direction), but the units of velocity are meters per second while the units of acceleration are meters per second squared.
