Icy/Snowy roads have less friction than normal roads. This means that the wheels are less likely to stay positioned because of traction, and you will spin out of control

Rzqust [24]

Wow !  This is not simple.  At first, it looks like there's not enough information, because we don't know the mass of the cars.  But I"m pretty sure it turns out that we don't need to know it.

At the top of the first hill, the car's potential energy is

                                  PE = (mass) x (gravity) x (height) .

At the bottom, the car's kinetic energy is

                                 KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed²) .

You said that the car's speed is 70 m/s at the bottom of the hill,
and you also said that 10% of the energy will be lost on the way
down.  So now, here comes the big jump.  Put a comment under
my answer if you don't see where I got this equation:

                                   KE = 0.9  PE

        (1/2) (mass) (70 m/s)² = (0.9) (mass) (gravity) (height)     

Divide each side by (mass): 

               (0.5) (4900 m²/s²) = (0.9) (9.8 m/s²) (height)

(There goes the mass.  As long as the whole thing is 90% efficient,
the solution will be the same for any number of cars, loaded with
any number of passengers.)

Divide each side by (0.9):

               (0.5/0.9) (4900 m²/s²) = (9.8 m/s²) (height)

Divide each side by (9.8 m/s²):

               Height = (5/9)(4900 m²/s²) / (9.8 m/s²)

                          =  (5 x 4900 m²/s²) / (9 x 9.8 m/s²)

                          =  (24,500 / 88.2)  (m²/s²) / (m/s²)

                          =        277-7/9    meters
                                  (about 911 feet)

A floating boat has a weight of 100 N. What is the buoyant force on the boat?
lara31 [8.8K]
If the boat is floating, then it's just sitting there, and not accelerating
up or down.  That means the vertical forces on it must be balanced. 

So if its weight (acting downward) is 100 newtons, then the buoyant
force on it (acting upward) must also be 100 newtons.
