You are riding on a roller coaster, and for some reason you are sitting on a scale. The roller coaster is moving at all times during the ride, though its velocity varies. The roller coaster track is shown in the figure below. When you are midway between points A and B on the roller coaster, the roller coaster is speeding up. The scale reading is: hi B. RollerCoaster.

A 2.6-kg block is on a perfectly smooth ramp that makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. Hints a. What is the block's acceleration down the ramp and the force and the force of the ramp on the block? The block accelerates down at m/st; the ramp applies a force of N on the block. b. What force applied upward along and parallel to the ramp would allow the block to move with constant velocity? The block could move with constant velocity when force of magnitude is applied.
