When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate. Acceleration is a change in velocity, and velocity, in turn, is a measure of the speed and direction of motion. Gravity causes an object to fall toward the ground at a faster and faster velocity the longer the object falls
Newton's 2nd law of motion:
Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
= (1,127 kg) x (6 m/s² forward)
= (1,127 x 6) newtons forward
= 6,762 newtons forward
______________________________
Momentum = (mass) x (speed)
= (69 kg) x (6 m/s)
= 414 kg-m/s
The data given in the bar graph is valid because it follows the law of conservation of energy, since the GPE at top of 2nd hill plus KE at top of 2nd hill equals KE at bottom of 1st hill.
<h3>What is law of conservation of energy?</h3>
The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.
Based on the law of conservation of energy, kinetic energy of a roller coaster can be converted into potential energy of the roller coaster and vice versa.
ΔK.E = ΔP.E
where;
- ΔK.E is change in kinetic energy
- ΔP.E is change in potential energy
The kinetic energy of the coaster is greatest at the bottom of the hill, as the coaster moves upward, the kinetic energy decreases and will be converted into potential energy. The potential energy of the coaster increases as the coaster moves up the hill and will become maximum at the highest point of the hill.
From the given data;
GPE at top of 2nd hill + KE at top of 2nd hill = KE at bottom of 1st hill
