Given:
Number of passengers seated in the roller coaster = 21
Empty seats = 3
Number of cars in roller coaster = 4 (each with the same number of seats)
To find:
An equation that can be used to determine the number of seats in each car.
Solution:
Let s be the number of seats in each car.
Total number of seats in 4 cars = 4s
Using the given information,
Total number of seats = Occupied seated + Empty seats
= 21 + 3
= 24
Now, the required equation is

Therefore, the required equation is
.
Divide both sides by 4.


Therefore, the number of seats in each car is 6.
Answer:
1,809.98 lb*m/s^2
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we want to know how much weight of the boulder is projected along the path in which the boulder can move.
The weight of the boulder is:
W = 322lb*9.8 m/s^2 = (3,155.6 lb*m/s^2)
This weight has a direction that is vertical, pointing downwards.
Now, we know that the angle of the hill is 35°
The angle that makes the direction of the weight and this angle, is:
(90° - 35°)
(A rough sketch of this situation can be seen in the image below)
Then we need to project the weight over this direction, and that will be given by:
P = W*cos(90° - 35°) = (3,155.6 lb*m/s^2)*cos(55°) = 1,809.98 lb*m/s^2
This is the force that Samuel needs to exert on the boulder if he wants the boulder to not roll down.
If you can get me some numbers this would be easier
however there's r= radius
h=height
I'm not fully understanding this
