Answer:
B. 24.2 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the roller coaster, m = 450 kg
height of the roller coaster, h = 30 m
The maximum potential energy of the roller coaster due to its height is given by;
Therefore, the maximum speed of the roller coaster is 24.2 m/s.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
There are two forces on the table: weight and normal force. Newton's second law:
∑F = ma
N - mg = 0
N = mg
N = (23.5 kg) (9.81 m/s²)
N = 230 N
