Answer:
I would say that I agree with the one that said that each hill must be lower than the previous one and use the principle of conservation of energy to explain.
Explanation:
Roller coaster are usually designed such that its total energy remains conserved at any point on the track. Now, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. At certain height on the track, the total energy of the roller coaster is in form of potential energy, which gets converted to kinetic energy as soon as it starts sliding down the hill till get to the hill's endpoint where it has maximum kinetic energy. The cycle of sliding from a high point on the track to a low point on the track means there is potential energy is converted to kinetic energy and kinetic energy then converts back to potential energy and the cycle continues.
However, due to the effect of gravity and frictional force between the track and the coaster, the energy of the coaster is gradually reduces, so it becomes a bit difficult for the coaster to move to the next hill of the same height. It is for this reason that each hill must be lower than the previous one, so that the coaster can overcome the next hill's height with its reduced energy until it loses all its energy and comes to a stop.
If you illustrate the problem, you will somewhat come up with the figure shown. The missing value is the hypotenuse of the right triangle. Using the pythagorean theorems, the value is determined to be
x = √(0.7^2 + 2.4^2)
x = 2.5 km
2.5 km is the magnitude of the distance. If you want to incorporate the displacement, the answer is reported as
2.5 km, southeast. The direction is determined from the starting point to the endpoint.
Answer:
Explanation:
During a course of elliptical motion the direction of the body keeps changing however its magnitude may or may not remain constant.
During a curve path motion the velocity of the object is directed in a tangential direction to the curve.
During the motion on a curved path if the magnitude of a body remains constant then the body is said to have a constant speed which is a scalar quantity. Scalar quantities do not have direction.
