Answer:

10 m/s

Explanation:

The potential energy of the roller coaster is converted to kinetic energy. According to law of transformation of energy, potential energy = kinetic energy.

mgh = ½mv².Take g as 10m/s².

150 * 10 * 50 = ½ * 150 * v².

7500 = 75v².

v² = 7500/75.

v = √100.

v= 10 m/s.

Travka [436]

Answer:

a. Potential energy decreases and Kinetic energy increases

Explanation:

Because as he comes down due to its steepness the speed of the boy or you can say his KE increases and since he comes from a high position (hill) to the lower ground his potential energy decreases simultaneously

How did people studying lunar eclipses learn that Earth is round?
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Scientists have studied eclipses since ancient times. Aristotle observed that the Earth's shadow has a circular shape as it moves across the moon. He posited that this must mean the Earth was round. Another Greek astronomer named Aristarchus used a lunar eclipse to estimate the distance of the Moon and Sun from Earth

the first s-wave reaches a seismic station 22 minutes after an earthquake occurred. how long did it take the first p-wave to rea
Naddik [55]

The time taken for the first p-wave to reach the same seismic station is approximately 13 minutes.

<h3>Time of travel of the P-wave</h3>

In rock, S waves generally travel about 60% the speed of P waves, and the S wave always arrives after the P wave.

<h3>Relationship between speed and time</h3>

v ∝ 1/t

v₁t₁ = v₂t₂

t₁/t₂ = v₂/v₁

t₁/t₂ = 0.6v₁/v₁

t₁/t₂ =  0.6

t₁ = 0.6t₂

t₁ = 0.6 x 22 mins

t₁ = 13.2 mins

Thus, the time taken for the first p-wave to reach the same seismic station is approximately 13 minutes.

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

6m/s

Explanation:

the original momentum = mass x velocity = 8x (60+10) = 560

momentum after = mass x velocity of the school bag + mass x velocity of the boy = 10x20 + 60x A

200+60A = 560

A=6
