What is the force that is responsible for speeding up the roller coaster car as it accelerates

Physics
1 answer:
swat323 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Gravity

Explanation:

Gravity applies a constant downward force on the cars. The coaster tracks serve to channel this force — they control the way the coaster cars fall. If the tracks slope down, gravity pulls the front of the car toward the ground, so it accelerates

If the same force is exerted on objects with different mass, then the object with less mass have a (smaller or bigger -pick one)
Ratling [72]
Bigger change in velocity because the object is lighter than the object with more mass so it would move further (sorry it’s not a great explanation)

A stone was dropped off a cliff and hit the ground with a speed of 88 ft/s. What is the height (in feet) of the cliff
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

the height (in feet) of the cliff is 121 ft

Explanation:

A stone hit the cliff with

speed, v = 88 ft/s

Acceleration, a= 32 ft/s^2

initial speed, u = 0 ft/s

height is h.

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations, Equation of motion describes change in velocity, depending on the acceleration and the distance traveled

so, writing the formula of Equation of motion:

v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*h

substituting the appropriate values,

(88)^2 - 0 = 2*32* h

h=(88)^2 / 64

h= 121 ft

hence

the height (in feet) of the cliff is 121 ft

A motorcyclist sees a branch in the road and hits the brakes, slowing down at -6.42 m/s. if it takes him 2.85 seconds to stop, w
TEA [102]

Use the definition of average acceleration:

<em>a</em> = ∆<em>v</em> / <em>t</em>

If <em>v</em> is the starting speed, then ∆<em>v</em> = 0 - <em>v</em>, so solve for <em>v</em> :

-6.42 m/s² = (0 - <em>v</em>) / (2.85 s)

<em>v</em> = (6.42 m/s²) (2.85 s)

<em>v</em> ≈ 18.3 m/s
