Yes, because you would need friction to slow down the rollercoaster to a stop.
Answer:
energy is conserved
a force sets an object in motion. when the force is multiplied by the time of its application we call the quantity impulse which changes the momentum of that object. what do we call the quantity force x (times) distance, and what quantity can this change?
<span>Mass of the ball is m = 0.10kg
Initial speed of the Ball v = 15m/s
a. When the ball is at maximum height the velocity is 0
Momentum of ball = mass x velocity
Momentum = 0.10kg x 0 = 0
b. Getting the maximum height,
Using the conservation of energy equation KEinitial = mgh
1/2mVin^2 = mgh => h = v^2/2g
h = 15^2/2x9.8 = 11.48m => Half Height h = 5.96m
Applying the conservation of energy equation at halfway V^2 = 2gh
V = square root of (2x9.8x5.96) => V = square root of (116.816)
So the velocity at the half way V = 10.81 m/s
Momentum M = m x V => M = 0.10 x 10.81 => M = 1.081kg-m/s</span>
Hope it helped you.
A. Acceleration is a wrong answer. Acceleration is the rate of change to in velocity. It involves a change in speed and direction.
B. Force is a wrong answer. Force is a directions from push/or pull.
C. Inertia is a correct. Inertia is a tendency of an object to stay at the rest or preserve its state of motion.
D. Velocity is a incorrect answer. Velocity is the placement of an object during a specific unit of time. It has two measurements are needed to determine velocity.
