A roller coaster is traveling at 13 m/s when it approaches a hill that is 400 m long. Heading down the hill, it accelerates at 4.0 m/s2. What is the final velocity of the roller coaster? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Respuesta :

We will apply the equation:2as = v² - u²v = √(2as + u²)v = √(2 x 4 x 400 + 13²)v = 58 m/s

Answer:

Answer: The final velocity of the roller coaster is 58.04[tex]\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

Explanation:

Kinematics of the problem:

The The roller coaster  moves with uniform accelerated movement moves with uniform accelerated movement, then, We use the acceleration equation for this type of movement:

[tex]v_{f} ^{2} =v_{i} ^{2} +2*a*d[/tex]   Formula 1

[tex]v_{f}[/tex]: final speed

[tex]v_{i}[/tex]: initial speed=[tex]13\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

[tex]a=4\frac{m}{s^{2} }[/tex]

d=distance traveled by The roller coaster  =400m

Final velocity calculating:

We replace known information in the formula 1:

[tex]v_{f} ^{2} =13^{2} +2*4*400[/tex]

[tex]v_{f} ^{2} =169+3200[/tex]

vf2=3369

[tex]v_{f} =\sqrt{3369}[/tex]

[tex]v_{f} =58.04 \frac{m}{s}[/tex]

Answer: The final velocity of the roller coaster is [tex]58.04\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
