The reason behind the second hill in the roller coaster not taller than the first hill is the frictional force acting on the roller coaster.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The height of the first hill in the roller coaster is taller with the decrease in the subsequent hills as the frictional forces reduces the kinetic energy.  

Coming down the first tallest hill, the speed and kinetic energy both increases as the motion is in line with gravity, but due to conservation of energy, the potential energy decreases. And as the potential energy decreases, the height of hill has to be decreased in order to complete the motion.

There will not be enough momentum from the first hill to cross another hill if he same or larger size because of the way potential energy and kinetic energy works it will not be able go as high as it could go on he fist hill.

A cubic tank holds 1,000.0 kg of water. what are the the dimensions of the tank in meters? explain your reasoning
Scilla [17]

Given: A cubic tank holds 1,000.0 kg of water.

Mass of water in tank (m) = 1000.0 kg

Density of water (d) = 1000.0 kg /m³

Concept: Volume(V) = Mass / Density

Since the tank holds these water in it so the volume of water will be equal to the volume of the tank.

Hence, the volume of the tank = Mass of water / Density of water

or,                                         =  1000.0 kg / 1000.0 kg m⁻³

or,                                       = 1.0 m³

Since tank is cubical in shape. Let its side be 'x'

The volume of tank (x³) = 1.0 m³

or.          side of tank (x) = 1.0 m

Hence, the dimensions of the tank will be 1.0 m.

We can block light by placing obstacles in its path, but it’s much more difficult to block sound. Why?
Olin [163]
Sound spreads through some kind of medium. Most of the time the medium is usually air. Sound can go through walls, like when you are playing really loud music and the neighbors tell you its to loud, you can't block it because it can travel through objects. Light does not need a medium to travel with. if you put a light in a room with no windows and no cracks, and you seal off the door the light can't escape that room, but if you did the same thing with sound it would travel trough the walls.
