Answer:

Explanation:

All of the above.

Certainly a coaster could be designed without considering any one item of mass, gravity, or rates of direction change, but the success of the ride would be highly suspect.

Ignoring mass (of cars and/or riders) could lead to support members not being strong enough.

Ignoring rates of change of direction could lead to support members not being strong enough or make the forces on the riders uncomfortable.

Ignoring gravity could lead to support members not being strong enough or make the forces on the riders uncomfortable.

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

7,79 seconds

Explanation:

${\overline {a}}={\frac {\Delta v}{t}}$

You need to use the acceleration formula. A is acceliration, $\displaystyle \Delta \mathbf {v}$ is change in velocity and t is time.

You need to multiply the formula with t and divide by a and you get

a*t= $\displaystyle \Delta \mathbf {v}$

t= $\displaystyle \Delta \mathbf {v}$ /a

after that you just need to insert the numbers

change in velocity is 76.4 minus 0.

acceliration is gravitational acceleration which is 9.81.

After that you get

t=76.4/9.81

t= 7,787971458 s

A new roller coaster contains a loop-the-loop in which the car and rider are completely upside down. If the radius of the loop i

levacccp [35]

Answer:

The minimum speed must the car must be 13.13 m/s.

Explanation:

The radius of the loop is 17.6 m. We need to find the minimum speed must the car traverse the loop so that the rider does not fall out while upside down at the top.

We know that, mg be the weight of car and rider, which is equal to the centripetal force.

$mg = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\v = \sqrt{rg}\\v = \sqrt{17.6\times 9.8}\\v = 13.13\ m/s\\$

So, the minimum speed must the car must be 13.13 m/s.
