The Kingda Ka roller coaster in New Jersey is the world's tallest ride of its kind. As the passenger cars are launched from rest at the start, they are accelerated uniformly to a speed of 57 m/s (128 mph) in just 3.5 s. (Assume the cars are launched in the positive horizontal direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer where appropriate.) (a) What is the acceleration experienced by passengers on this ride in m/s? m/s? What is the acceleration experienced by passengers on this ride in g's? g (b) If a certain passenger has a mass of 61 kg, what is the force in newtons that acts on him during the launch phase of this ride? What is the force in pounds that acts on him during the launch phase of this ride? Ib
A train, traveling at a constant speed of 22.0 m/s, comes to an incline with a constant slope. While going up the incline, the train slows down with a constant acceleration of magnitude 1.40 m/s2. (A) What is the speed of the train after 7.20 s on the incline? (B) How far has the train traveled up the incline after 7.20 s?
The froghopper, a tiny insect, is a remarkable jumper. Suppose a colony of the little critters is raised on the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is only 1.62 m/s2, whereas gravity on Earth is ?=9.81 m/s2. If on Earth a froghopper's maximum jump height is ℎ and its maximum horizontal jump range is ?, what would its maximum jump height and range be on the Moon in terms of ℎ and ?? Assume the froghopper's takeoff velocity is the same on the Moon and Earth.
