Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Weight of roller coaster is W=2430\ pound

mass of roller coaster m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{2430}{32.2}=75.45

Distance traveled by roller coaster d=396\ ft

drag force f_d=85\ pounds

velocity at top v=59 mph\approx 86.53\ ft/s

Suppose E is the initial energy

Conserving Energy at bottom and top

E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh+f_d\cdot d

E=0.5\times 75.45\times 86.53^2+2430\times 105+85\times 396

E=2.9\times 10^5\ foot-pound

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: By Contributor. Measuring the volume of an irregularly shaped object using geometry is often difficult and complicated. The easiest way to do this is by using the water displacement method. Often taught in chemistry or other science classes, this method is known for its simplicity and accuracy.

If the frequency of q of a trait is 0.4, what is the frequency of p?
lianna [129]
In genetic traits, p and q represent the relative probabilities of the two alleles manifesting. If these two are the only options (ex. a dominant one and a recessive one), then the probabilities of both must sum up to 1. In this case, since we are given that q = 0.4, then p + q = 1, p + 0.4 = 1, and p = 0.6.

Cassy shoots a large marble (Marble A, mass: 0.06kg) at a smaller marble (Marble B, mass: 0.03kg) that is sitting still. Marble
4vir4ik [10]

The question can be solved using conservation of linear momentum.

M_{a} = 0.06kg and M_{b} = 0.03kg

Let the initial velocity of Marble A be , V_{a1} = 0.7m/s

Let the initial velocity of Marble B be, V_{b1} = 0m/s

Let the velocity of Marble A after collisiong , V_{a2}= -0,02m/s

Let the velocity of Marble B after collision be V_{b2}

From the conservation of linear momentum equation. We get,

M_{a}V_{a1}+M_{b}V_{b1}=M_{a}V_{a2}+M_{b}V_{b2}

Substituting the values we get,

(0.06)(0.7) + 0 = (0.06)(-0.02) + (0.03)V_{b2}

we get, V_{b2} = 1.44m/s
