That isn"t the right answer the correct answer is B.
Force required to accelerate 10 kg object to 5.9 m/s/s ?
Mass = 10 kg
Acceleration = 5.9 m/s^2
Force = Mass * Acceleration
Force = 10 kg * 5.9 m/s^2
Force = 59 kg m /s^2 = 59 N
Wow ! This is not simple. At first, it looks like there's not enough information, because we don't know the mass of the cars. But I"m pretty sure it turns out that we don't need to know it.
At the top of the first hill, the car's potential energy is
PE = (mass) x (gravity) x (height) .
At the bottom, the car's kinetic energy is
KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed²) .
You said that the car's speed is 70 m/s at the bottom of the hill,
and you also said that 10% of the energy will be lost on the way
down. So now, here comes the big jump. Put a comment under
my answer if you don't see where I got this equation:
KE = 0.9 PE
(1/2) (mass) (70 m/s)² = (0.9) (mass) (gravity) (height)
Divide each side by (mass):
(0.5) (4900 m²/s²) = (0.9) (9.8 m/s²) (height)
(There goes the mass. As long as the whole thing is 90% efficient,
the solution will be the same for any number of cars, loaded with
any number of passengers.)
Divide each side by (0.9):
(0.5/0.9) (4900 m²/s²) = (9.8 m/s²) (height)
Divide each side by (9.8 m/s²):
Height = (5/9)(4900 m²/s²) / (9.8 m/s²)
= (5 x 4900 m²/s²) / (9 x 9.8 m/s²)
= (24,500 / 88.2) (m²/s²) / (m/s²)
= 277-7/9 meters
(about 911 feet)

Antarctica and Greenland
Present day glaciers are found primarily in <em><u>Antarctica and Greenland</u></em>.
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <em><u>The two major ice sheets that exists today are found primarily in Antarctica and Greenland. Ice sheets are large masses of glacial ice that are also known as continental glaciers.</u></em>
- Most ice in Antarctica and Greenland spill out into the ocean from a few spots. The Antarctica and Greenland ice sheets combined comprise more than 99 percent of freshwater ice found on Earth.
