A particularly scary roller coaster contains a loop-the-loop in which the car and rider are completely upside down. If the radiu

s of the loop is 12.1 m with what minimum speed must the car traverse the loop so that the rider does not fall out while upside down at the top? Assume the rider is not strapped to the car.

Answer:

v = 10.89\ m/s

Explanation:

given,                          

radius of loop = 12.1 m                              

to find the minimum speed transverse by the rider to not to fall out upside down                                                                

centripetal force = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

gravitational force  = m g

computing both the equation]

mg = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v = \sqrt{rg}

v = \sqrt{12.1 \times 9.8}

v = \sqrt{118.58}

v = 10.89\ m/s

Earth-orbiting astronauts feel weightless in space because _____. Choose all that apply. 1 point They are in free-fall motion. T
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

They are in free-fall motion.

Explanation:

The Earth orbiting astronauts are falling at an acceleration that is the same or greater than the acceleration due to gravity i.e., 9.81 m/s². If you are continuously falling at this rate then you will feel weightless.

This same effect is felt while going down in an elevator. When you down in an elevator you feel that you are lighter and feel that something is pushing you up. Earth-orbiting astronauts feel the same effect but the accelration is greater hence they feel weightless.

The latitude of any location on earth is the angle formed by the two rays drawn from the center of earth to the location and to
Alina [70]

The distance between city a and city b is 833.345 miles.

We know that

1°=60'

The distance of city a from the initial ray is  calculated as

x_a=3960*tan45.46°=4024.101 miles

The distance of city b from the initial ray is calculated as

x_b=3960*tan 38.86°=3190.75 miles

Now the distance between city a and b is equal to

4024.101-3190.75=833.345 miles

This is the vertical distance between the cities.
