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: A h RollerCoaster.PNG O Smaller than your actual weight O Equal to your actual weight O Larger than your actual weight O There is not enough information to tell

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.

Help please. Teacher hasn't returned my work on this yet, and we're having a quiz on Monday. A 2.75-kg cat moves in a straight line (x-axis). The graph on the right shows the x-component of the cat’s velocity as a function of time. What is the net force on the cat? a. 0b. 27 Nc. 11 Nd. 2 N The maximum net force occurs during the time interval a. t = 0 to t = 10 secondsb. t = 6 to t = 10 secondsc. t = 2 to t = 6 secondsd. t = 0 to t = 2 seconds The net force on the cat is equal to zero between the time intervala. t = 6 to t = 10 secondsb. t = 2 to t = 6 secondsc. t = 0 to t = 10 secondsd. t = 0 to t = 2 seconds Thanks!
