Answer:
Point A (Maximum height)
Explanation:
Potential energy is given as the product of mass, height and acceleration due to gravity hence expressed as mgh where m is the mass of roller coaster, h is the height and g is acceleration due to gravity. Since the mass and g are constant for a roller coaster, the main factor that will influence the magnitude of energy is the height. The higher the height, the higher the potential energy and vice versa. Using the attached image, the highest point is point A
Answer:
Time taken, t = 30.15 minutes
Explanation:
It is given that,
Distance from the center of planet, r = 40 miles
Speed of the shuttle, v = 500 miles per hour
Let t is the time taken by it to complete one full orbit. The displacement of the shuttle is,
d = 251.32 miles
Now time can be calculated using the expression for the velocity as :
t = 0.50264 hours
or
t = 30.15 minutes
So, the shuttle will take 30.15 minutes to complete one full orbit. Hence, this is the required solution.
