A roller-coaster car rolls down a frictionless track, reaching speed v0 at the bottom. If you want the car to go twice as fast a

3 0

Answer:

h should become four times.

Explanation:

The speed at the bottom depends only on the vertical height difference from the top ... if there is no friction ... then the path you take from top to bottom doesn't matter in any way, only the difference in height between the two

mgh at top = 1/2 mv^2 at bottom, so that v=sqrt[2gh]

You see, the final velocity, v, depends on the square root of h, so double v, quadruple h, or four times higher

Vector of magnitude 15 is added to a vector of magnitude 25. The magnitude of this sum
loris [4]

Explanation:

Given that,

Magnitude of vector A, |A| = 15

Magnitude of vector B, |B| = 25

We need to find the magnitude of this sum.

The maximum sum of the resultant vector,

R_{max}=|A_1|+|A_2|\\\\=15+25\\\\=45

The minimum sum of the resultant vector,

R_{min}=|A_1|-|A_2|\\\\=15-25\\\\=-10

So, the magnitude of this sum either 45 or -10.

A train moving at a constant speed on a surface inclined upward at 10.0° with the horizontal travels a distance of 400 meters in
Amiraneli [1.4K]
If the velocity of the train is v=s/t, where s is the distance and t is time, then v=400/5=80m/s. To get the vertical component of the velocity we need to multiply the velocity v with a sin(α): Vv=v*sin(α), where Vv is the vertical component of the velocity and α is the angle with the horizontal. So:

Vv=80*sin(10)=80*0.1736=13.888 m/s. 

So the vertical component of the velocity of the train is Vv=13.888 m/s.
