A roller coaster starts from rest at its highest point and then descends on its (frictionless) track. Its speed is 36 m/s when i

t reaches ground level. What was its speed when its height was half that of its starting point?

Answer:

its speed when its height was half that of its starting point is 25.46 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

final speed of the roller coaster, v = 36 m/s

Applying general equation of motion;

V² = U² + 2gh

where;

V is the final speed of the roller coaster

U is the initial speed of the roller coaster = 0

h is the height attained at a given velocity

36² = 0 + (2 x 9.8)h

1296 = 19.6 h

h = 1296/19.6

h = 66.1224 m

when its height was half that of its starting point, h₂ = ¹/₂ h

h₂ = ¹/₂(66.1224 m) = 33.061 m

At h = 33.061 m, V = ?

V² = U² + 2gh

V² = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 33.061

V² = 648

V = √648

V = 25.46 m/s

Therefore, its speed when its height was half that of its starting point is 25.46 m/s

mario62 [17]

Horizontal distance covered by a projectile is X = Vix *T

where Vix is the initial horizontal component of velocity and T is time taken by the projectile

Vix = ViCos theta

In question they said that initial velocity and angle is same on earth and moon

so Vix would remains same

now let's see about time taken T

time taken to reach the highest point

Vfy = Viy +gt

at highest point vertical velocity become zero so Vfy =0

0 = Vi Sin theta + gt

t = Vi Sintheta /g

Total time taken to land will be twice of that

On earth

Te= 2t

Te = 2Sinθ/g

on moon g is one-sixth of g(earth)

Tm = 2Sinθ/(g/6)

Tm = 6(2Sinθ/g)

Tm = 6Te

so total time taken by the projectile on moon will be six times the time taken on earth

From first equation X = Vix*T

we can see that X will also be 6 times on moon than earth

so projectile will cover 6 times distance on moon than on earth
