A roller coaster is hard to stop because it has a lot of inertia. Use Newton's first law of motion to explain why you feel tossed around whenever a roller coaster goes over a hill and through a loop.

The x-coordinate of a particle in curvilinear motion is given by x = 3.1t3 - 4.9t where x is in feet and t is in seconds. the y-component of acceleration in feet per second squared is given by ay = 2.3t. if the particle has y-components y = 0 and vy = 5.0 ft/sec when t = 0, find the magnitudes of the velocity v and acceleration a when t = 1.8 sec. sketch the path for the first 1.8 seconds of motion, and show the velocity and acceleration vectors for t = 1.8 sec. answers: v = ft/sec a = ft/sec2

Where do magnetic lines of force enter earth?

Ahypothetical metal has an orthorhombic unit cell for which the a, b, and c lattice parameters are 0.413 nm, 0.665 nm, and 0.876 nm, respectively. (a) if there are 8 atoms per unit cell and the atomic packing factor is 0.536, determine the atomic radius (in nm). (b) if the density is 3.99 g/cm3, calculate the metal's atomic weight (in g/mol).
