Answer:

B. 24.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the roller coaster, m = 450 kg

height of the roller coaster, h = 30 m

The maximum potential energy of the roller coaster  due to its height is given by;

P.E_{max} = mgh\\\\PE_{max} = 450 *9.8*30\\\\PE_{max} = 132,300 \ J

P.E_{max} = K.E_{max} \ (law \ of \ conservation\ of \ energy)

K.E_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2\\\\ v_{max}^2 = \frac{2K.E_{max}}{m}\\\\ v_{max}^2 = \frac{2*132300}{450}\\\\ v_{max}^2 =588\\\\v_{max} = \sqrt{588}\\\\  v_{max} = 24.2 \ m/s

Therefore, the maximum speed of the roller coaster is 24.2 m/s.

natita [175]

Answer:

Explanation:

She's correct but doesn't mean the wagon cannot put into motion. The force that she applied on the wagon, according to Newton's 2nd law, would have generated an acceleration, which translates into motion. The reaction force the wagon applies on her due to Newton's 3rd law, would not hinder its own motion.

hoa [83]

The answer to your question is "A. a lower frequency of the siren.

Because the person in back of the ambulance will hear a lower frequency of the siren. This is because the waves are stretched out. A longer wavelength results in a lower frequency.
