It's important because you have to know when to make it go faster or else you might not be able to go upside down or in a circle

Knowing how fast a roller coaster travels at certain points on a track is usually used to calculate how much kinetic and potential energy the object has at that position. This is because total energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy. Since kinetic energy is associated with velocity then knowing it as certain points on the track will help you calculate how much kinetic energy the object has.

aivan3 [116]
<span>A van is traveling on a road at a speed of 55 km/h relative to a
stationary observer on the side of the road. A girl sitting near the
driver of the van throws a paper airplane to a boy at the back of the
van with a speed of 2 km/h relative to the girl, the boy, and the van.

The speed of the paper airplane, relative to the same stationary observer
on the side of the road, is (55 - 2) = 53 km/h.  No rounding is necessary.</span>

In an experiment, 108 J of work was done on a closed system. During this phase of the experiment, 79 J of heat energy was added
amid [387]

Answer:

187 J

Explanation:

First Law of Thermodynamics :

ΔQ = ΔW + ΔU

ΔQ : Heat. If it added to system then positive and if it is rejected by system then negative.

ΔW : Work. If it done by the system then positive and if it is done on system then negative.

ΔU : Internal Energy. If it positive then temperature of system increased and if it is negative then temperature of system decreased.

ΔQ = 79 J

ΔW = - 108 J

ΔU = ?

substituting the value in the equation:

79 = -108 + ΔU

∴ ΔU = 187 J
