A roller coaster has a mass of 275 kg. It sits at the top of a hill with height 85 m. If it drops from this hill, how fast is it

going when it reaches the bottom? (Assume there is no air resistance or friction.)

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the roller costar, m = 275 kg

It sits at the top of a hill with height 85 m, h = 85 m

We need to find the speed with which it is going when it reaches the bottom. It can be calculated using the conservation of energy as :

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh

g is the acceleration due to gravity

v=\sqrt{2gh}

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 85}

v = 40.81 m/s

So, the speed of the roller coaster when it reaches the bottom is 40.81 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

kinematic equation

v squared = u squared + 2 a x s

v= sq root (0 + 2 10 x 65)

The Zero Gravity Research Facility at the NASA Glenn Research Center includes a
denis23 [38]

Answer: (a) t = 5.44 sec

(b) vf = 53.31 m/s

(c) s = 5.0m

Explanation: from the question, given data

the Height of the tower, h = 145m

from question

(a)

the initial velocity, v₁ = 0 m/s

s = v₁t + 1/2 gt²

-145 m = 0(t) + 1/2 (-9.8t²)

  t² = 145/4.9

   t² = 29.59

    t = 5.44 sec

(b)

the speed of the sphere at the bottom of the tower is

vf² = vi² +2as

vf² = 0 + 2(-9.8 × -145)

vf² = 2842

vf = 53.31 m/s

(c)

when caught, the sphere experiences a deceleration of;

   a = -29.0g

the time it would take to decelerate becomes;

vf = vi + at

0 = (53.31) + (-29 ×9.8)t

where t = 53.31 / 284.2

t = 0.1876 sec

∴ the distance travelled during the deceleration becomes;

vf² = vi² + 2as

s = (vf² - vi²) / 2a

s = (0 - 53.31²) / 2×-29×9.8

s = -2841.9561 / -568.4

s = 4.99 ≈ 5.0m

i hope this helps, cheers

The mass of an object is independent of its location. true or false
Arturiano [62]
That's true.  The mass of your body is like the money
in your pocket.  It doesn't change, no matter where you
take it.

It's still 20 kg. Mass doesn't change according to gravity, only weight changes.
