Answer:
By conservation of energy, it can climb up to a height equal to that it went down before. However, due to the friction in the machines, the total mechanical energy of the roller coaster will decrease. As a result, the first "hill" of many roller coasters are the highest, but the followings will have decreasing heights.
Explanation:
Answer:
0.5 m/s north
Explanation:
Take east to be +x, west to be -x, north to be +y, and south to be -y.
His displacement in the x direction is:
x = 20 m − 20 m = 0 m
His displacement in the y direction is:
y = 10 m
His total displacement is therefore 10 m north.
His velocity is equal to displacement divided by time.
v = 10 m north / 20 s
v = 0.5 m/s north
You're talking about a grain of sand or a stone or a rock that's drifting in space, and then the Earth happens to get in the way, so the stone falls down to Earth, and it makes a bright streak of light while it's falling through the atmosphere and burning up from the friction.
-- While it's drifting in space, it's a <em>meteoroid</em>.
-- While it's falling through the atmosphere burning up and making a bright streak of light, it's a <em>meteor</em>.
-- If it doesn't completely burn up and there's some of it left to fall on the ground, then the leftover piece on the ground is a <em>meteorite</em>.
Proceed with caution before crossing
The tundra because it's growing season is too short.
