Answer:

h = 0.46 m

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy:

Potential Energy Lost by Roller Coaster = Kinetic Energy Gained by Roller Coaster

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\2gh = v^2\\\\h = \frac{v^2}{2g}

where,

h = height = ?

v = speed at bottom = 3 m/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

h = \frac{(3\ m/s)^2}{(2)(9.81\ m/s^2)}

<u>h = 0.46 m</u>

olasank [31]

Answer:

How much does light bend? When light travels from air into water, it slows down, causing it to change direction slightly. This change of direction is called refraction. When light enters a more dense substance (higher refractive index), it 'bends' more towards the normal line.

A bus is moving at a speed of 150km/hr. Begins to slow at a constant rate of 3.0m/s each second. Find how far it goes before sto
ladessa [460]

Answer:

Distance = 13.9 meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Maximum speed = 150 km/hr to meters per seconds = 150 * 1000/3600 = 41.67 m/s

Decelerating speed = 3m/s

To find the distance travelled with this speed;

Distance = maximum speed/decelerating speed

Distance = 41.67/3

Distance = 13.9 meters

Therefore, the bus would travel a distance of 13.9 meters before stopping.
