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.

Newton began his academic career in 1667. For how long was he a working scientist? Was he a very productive scientist?
rjkz [21]
Newton's 3 laws are...

inertia: things tend to continue to do what they are doing.

Change: to make something change you need a force to change it. the force needed = the mass times its acceleration

<span> Resistance: When you push on something, it pushes back.

PLEASE ANSWER FAST!! A scientist put red blood cells in water that contained salt. Over time, the red blood cells burst. What is
Nitella [24]
It is most likely true that there was a lower concentration of salt in the water than in the cells because when blood cells are put in a hypotonic solution such as pure water, the little to no salt concentration in the water causes the cells to swell and burst. This would occur because the water would try to dilute the solution inside of the blood cell and which would, therefore, cause it to burst. Hope this helps!

What force must be exerted on the master cylinder of a hydraulic lift to support the weight of a 2000-kg car (a large car) resti
Nataliya [291]

Archimedes principle states that

 

F1 / A1 = F2 / A2

F2 = (A2 / A1) * F1

 

Also, formula for the force is F = mg. Formula for the area of the cylinder is A = πr^2, therefore we get

 

F2 = (πr2^2 / πr1^2) * mg

 

Since the diameter of the cylinders are 2 cm and 24 cm, r1 = 12 and r2 = 1.

 

Substituting the values to the derived equation, we get

 

F2 = (π 1^2 / π 12^2) * 2400 * 9.8

F2 = 163.3333 N
