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.
In this item, we let x be the rate of the boat in still water and y be the rate of the current.
Upstream. When the boat is going upstream, the speed in still water is deducted by the speed of the current because the boat goes against the water. The distance covered is calculated by multiplying the number of hours and the speed.
(x - y)(3) = 144
Downstream. The speed of the boat going downstream is equal to x + y because the boat goes with the current.
(x + y)(2) = 144
The system of linear equations we can use to solve for x is,
3x - 3y = 144
2x + 2y = 144
We use either elimination or substitution.
We solve for the y of the first equation in terms of x,
y = -(144 - 3x)/3
Substitute this to the second equation,
2x + 2(-1)(144 - 3x)/3 = 144
The value of x from the equation is 60
<em>ANSWER: 60 km/h</em>
light waves. the other waves like gamma rays or infrared waves or radio waves are all not visible to the eye. light is the only thing out of those you can see.
