Nikolay [14]3 years ago

There are a couple of things happening while the coaster goes from the top of the hill to the bottom:

  • The coaster loses gravitational potential energy.
  • The coaster's loss in potential energy becomes its gain in kinetic energy.
  • The coaster's gain in kinetic energy causes it to speed up.
  • Maybe the coaster is also losing some of its newly gained kinetic energy to friction due to contact between the coaster's internal components and air resistance.

A potato is launched from the ground at an 73 degree angle with a velocity of 48 m/s.
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

107.4 meters

Explanation:

gravity is 9.8m/s^2

max height = (velocity squared times sin squared angle) ÷ ( speed of gravity times 2 )

max height = (48 squared times sin of 73 squared) ÷ ( 9.8 times 2 )

HELP!!! What role might electrostatic force play in spider dispersal, according to a recent study?
Marat540 [252]

The positively charged atmosphere attracts negatively charged spider silk, might electrostatic force play in spider dispersal, according to a recent study.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The positive charge present in upper of the atmosphere and the negative charge on planet’s surface. During cloudless skies days, the air possesses a voltage of nearly around 100 volts for each and every meter from above the ground.

Ballooning spiders process within this planetary electric field. When their silk relieve their bodies then it picks up a negative charge. This oppose the similar negative charges on the surfaces on which the spiders settles and create sufficient force to lift them into the air. And spiders can hike those forces by climbing onto blades of grass,twigs, or leaves.

uphill at a rate of 2.5 mi/h from the base of a 6-mi trail. At the same time, Edwin walks downhill at a rate of 3.5 mi/h from th
uranmaximum [27]
<h2>After 1 hour they meet.</h2>

Explanation:

Distance between them = 6 miles

Speed of uphill person = 2.5 miles per hour

Speed of downhill person = 3.5 miles per hour

Relative velocity = 2.5 - ( -3.5 ) = 6 miles per hour

We know

         Displacement = Velocity x Time

         6 = 6 x Time taken

Time taken = 1 hour

After 1 hour they meet.
