A roller coaster car is going over the top of a 18-mm-radius circular rise. At the top of the hill, the passengers "feel light,"

with an apparent weight only 50 % of their true weight. How fast is the coaster moving?

Answer:

0.29713 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v = Velocity

r = Radius = 18 mm

By balancing the forces in the system we have

mg-N=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow mg-\dfrac{mg}{2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{r(g-\dfrac{g}{2})}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{0.018\times (9.81-\dfrac{9.81}{2})}\\\Rightarrow v=0.29713\ m/s

The velocity of the coaster is 0.29713 m/s

Is 2/2 1 or 0? please help lol
Komok [63]

Answer:

1.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for such mathematical operations, we can wee that the slash represents a fraction or a division, say 8 ÷ 4 = 2, 6 ÷ 3 = 2, 20 ÷ 4 = 5, etc. In such a way, since the operation 2/2, represents 2 ÷ 2, it is clear that two is once in 2, therefore, the result is:

2 ÷ 2 = 1.

Which of the following statements is accurate?
Volgvan

Answer: B. If an object's velocity is changing,it's either experiencing acceleration or deceleration.


Acceleration is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. This implies that if an object is changing it's velocity it is experiencing acceleration/ deceleration.

Acceleration is a vector quantity that has both a magnitude and time.

It is represented as

Acceleration= change in velocity/time.

The SI unit for acceleration is m/s^2
