STEP ONE:


Let  you and your friend stand as far away as possible from a large reflecting wall and clap your hands rapidly at a regular rate.  


STEP TWO:


Adjust this rate until each clap just coincides with the return of an echo of its predecessor, or until clap and echo are heard as equally spaced.


STEP THREE:


Use a stopwatch to find the time between claps, t. Make a rough measurement of distance to the wall, s. Thus the speed of sound, v = 2s/t

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

At the top of the hill.

Explanation:

As the roller coaster goes up the hill, kinetic energy (K.E) decreases, gravitational potential energy (G.P.E) increases .

As it reach the top of the hill, K.E becomes zero and G.P.E reaches <em>m</em><em>a</em><em>x</em><em>i</em><em>m</em><em>u</em><em>m</em> .

As it goes down the hill, K.E starts to increase and G.P.E decrease .

At the bottom of the hill, K.E reaches <em>maximum</em> and G.P.E becomes zero .
