Answer:

It uses graivity and momentum because since we all know, gravity pulls things down, they have a chaint hat lifts the carts up, and then when it gets to a top, it releases it. When it goes down very high, it will go faster. Then it uses momentum when it goes up, then down again, or a loop to regain speed. IT doesn't need a engine or a motor to speed it up or slow it down because gravity and momentum is already doing the job a engine could. Like I said, when it is high in the sky and released, it goes down in incredible speed. And when it needs more speed to keep the ride going, it can add a loop or tight turns to increase it more.

A 2kg Book is sitting on a table.a 10n Force is pulling to the right.a 3n Force is pulling to the left what is the net force act
salantis [7]


The net force = sum of all forces acting on the body



If we take left side as -ve and right side as +ve,
then,

The net force here would be equal to,
10N + (- 3N)
= 7N.


Therefore, a net force of +7N ( + indicates it's moving towards right) is acting on the book of mass 2kg.

A student measures the pH of a solution to be 6.8. Which should the student add if she wants to decrease the pH of the solution?
zloy xaker [14]
The neutral pH is 7. Less than 7 indicates an acid and more than 7 indicates a base (up to 14).
<span> NaCl - it's a salt (we can't measure the pH)
H2O - it can be an acid but also a base  (the pH it is almost neutral,meaning close to 7 )
HF - it is a strong acid
</span><span> KOH  - it is a strong base (pH=14)
</span>
                        ↓

He needs to use HF (Hydrogen fluoride) to decrease the pH.
