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.

A block of mass
Gennadij [26K]

(a) The work done by the applied force is 26.65 J.

(b) The work done by the normal force exerted by the table is 0.

(c) The work done by the force of gravity is 0.

(d) The work done by the net force on the block is 26.65 J.

<h3>Work done by the applied force</h3>

W = Fdcosθ

W = 14 x 2.1 x cos25

W = 26.65 J

<h3>Work done by the normal force</h3>

W = Fₙd

W = mg cosθ x d

W = (2.5 x 9.8) x cos(90) x 2.1

W = 0 J

<h3>Work done force of gravity</h3>

The work done by force of gravity is also zero, since the weight is at 90⁰ to the displacement.

<h3> Work done by the net force on the block</h3>

∑W = 0 + 26.65 J = 26.65 J

Thus, the work done by the applied force is 26.65 J.

The work done by the normal force exerted by the table is 0.

The work done by the force of gravity is 0.

The work done by the net force on the block is 26.65 J.

What two factors are a part of thermohaline circulation
Margarita [4]

Answer:

These deep-ocean currents are driven by differences in the water's density, which is controlled by temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline). This process is known as thermohaline circulation.

How does water get to the tops of the tallest trees against the force of gravity
alexira [117]
Water gets to the leaves in the tops of the tallest trees by something called the cohesion-tension theory. Water has two very unique properties called adhesion and cohesion. Cohesion is the tendency of water molecules to stick together with one another. The water sticks together, leaving no room for air, strengthening the "force" of the water going up the tree. The water also sticks to the sides of the xylem inside the tree. In addition to these properties, there are also the factors of negative and positive water potential. For more information, look up more details of the cohesion-tension theory.
