A roller coaster moves 200 ft horizontally, then rises 135 ft at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal. Next, it travels 135 f

t at an angle of 40.0° below the horizontal. Use graphical techniques to find the roller coaster's displacement from its starting point at the end of this movement.

Answer:

171 ft

Explanation:

The distance to be calculated is AB

AB = AC + BC

AC;  Cos 60 = AC ÷ 135

AC = 135 cos 60 = 67.5 ft

BC; Cos 40 = BC ÷ 135

BC = 135 cos 40 = 103.416 ft

AB = 67.5 + 103.416 = 170.9159998210 ft

Distance between starting point to end point = 171 ft

if an average cloud has a density of 0.5 g/m3 and has a volume of 1,000,000,000 m3,what is the weight of an average cloud
sveta [45]

If you have (1 x 10⁹) cubic meters of volume, and 1/2 gram of mass
in each cubic meter, then you have

          (1/2 x 10⁹) grams = (5 x 10⁸) grams = (5 x 10⁵) kilograms of mass . 

On Earth, that mass weighs  4,900,000 newtons .

                                            (about  1,102,300 pounds)

                                            (about  551 tons)

At the same moment, one rock is dropped and one is thrown downward with an initial velocity of 29m/s from the top of a building
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The thrown rock strike 2.42 seconds earlier.

Explanation:

This is an uniformly accelerated motion problem, so in order to find the arrival time we will use the following formula:

x=vo*t+\frac{1}{2} a*t^2\\where\\x=distance\\vo=initial velocity\\a=acceleration

So now we have an equation and unkown value.

for the thrown rock

\frac{1}{2}(9.8)*t^2+29*t-300=0

for the dropped rock

\frac{1}{2}(9.8)*t^2+0*t-300=0

solving both equation with the quadratic formula:

\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4*a*c} }{2*a}

we have:

the thrown rock arrives on t=5.4 sec

the dropped rock arrives on t=7.82 sec

so the thrown rock arrives 2.42 seconds earlier (7.82-5.4=2.42)
