Answer:
I would say that I agree with the one that said that each hill must be lower than the previous one and use the principle of conservation of energy to explain.
Explanation:
Roller coaster are usually designed such that its total energy remains conserved at any point on the track. Now, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. At certain height on the track, the total energy of the roller coaster is in form of potential energy, which gets converted to kinetic energy as soon as it starts sliding down the hill till get to the hill's endpoint where it has maximum kinetic energy. The cycle of sliding from a high point on the track to a low point on the track means there is potential energy is converted to kinetic energy and kinetic energy then converts back to potential energy and the cycle continues.
However, due to the effect of gravity and frictional force between the track and the coaster, the energy of the coaster is gradually reduces, so it becomes a bit difficult for the coaster to move to the next hill of the same height. It is for this reason that each hill must be lower than the previous one, so that the coaster can overcome the next hill's height with its reduced energy until it loses all its energy and comes to a stop.
Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)
Change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning).
Change in speed = (10 m/s) - (zero) = 10 m/s
Time for the change = 3 sec
Acceleration = (10 m/s) / (3 sec)
<em>Acceleration = (3 and 1/3) m/s²</em> or 3.333 m/s²
Answer:
a)it increasing accelerates, constant acceleration, decreasing acceleration
b)6.66m/sec
Explanation:
b)speed=distance/time
Answer:
The slower runner is 1.71 km from the finish line when the fastest runner finishes the race.
Explanation:
Given;
the speed of the slower runner, u₁ = 11.8 km/hr
the speed of the fastest runner, u₂ = 15 km/hr
distance, d = 8 km
The time when the fastest runner finishes the race is given by;
The distance covered by the slower runner at this time is given by;
d₁ = u₁ x 0.533 hr
d₁ = 11.8 km/hr x 0.533 hr
d₁ = 6.29 km
Additional distance (x) the slower runner need to finish is given by;
6.29 km + x = 8km
x = 8 k m - 6.29 km
x = 1.71 km
Therefore, the slower runner is 1.71 km from the finish line when the fastest runner finishes the race.
Answer: C. the motion of a spacecraft under gravitational influence.
Explanation:
A is Metallurgy, B is Biology, C is astro-physics, I am not sure what D is, but it's safe to say it's not physics, E, micro-biology, and the study of radiation. C is the only one involving physics.
