Struggling with this. Can you help?

Physics

Answer:

Unclear without more information

Explanation:

This is about transfer of energy. If you assume there is no energy lost to the environment (virtually impossible) - then all of the potential energy at the beginning would be transferred to kinetic energy along the route.

So, assuming that the rollercoaster has a velocity of 0 m/s at point A, then you can calculate the potential energy using: Ep =mgh_A

At the point D, you would assume that the energy is split between some kinetic energy and some potential energy. So, we could say that the total energy is the sum of these: Etot=Ep+Ek=mgh_{D} +\frac{mv^2}{2}

If we assume all energy is transferred (ie. no energy lost to friction/heat etc) then we can equate these two and solve:

mgh_A=mgh_{D} +\frac{mv^2}{2}\\\\h_D=\frac{(2gh_A-v^2)}{2g} =22.4

However, this answer seems unlikely given the drawing - which implies that there is perhaps more information that is missing??

When an apple falls towards the earth,the earth moves up to meet the apple. Is this true?If yes, why is the earth's motion not n
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

because the mass of the apple is very less compared to the mass of earth. Due to less mass the apple cannot produce noticable acceleration in the earth but the earth which has more mass produces noticable acceleration in the apple. thus we can see apple falling on towards the earth but we cannot see earth moving towards the apple.

In addition to average weather conditions, climatological data also describes annual variations and fluctuations of temperature,
drek231 [11]

<u>Answer:</u>

In addition to average weather conditions, climatological data also describes annual variations and fluctuations of temperature, precipitation, wind speed and other variables.

<u>Explanation</u>:

A lot many observations are made all around the world regarding the weather each day. These observations and analysis are done by humans as well as automated instruments. The weather data is collected each day all year and any inaccuracies and discrepancies are checked and rectified. The results are later then presented as the climate data. There are various factors that are taken into consideration while determining the climate of a region. Apart from the factors that are already mentioned, wind speed is also one of the other variables.
