Chapter 1, Problem 59P
A roller coaster moves 2.00 × 102 ft horizontally and then rises 135 ft at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal. Next, it travels 135 ft at an angle of 40.0° below the horizontal. Use graphical techniques to find the roller coaster’s displacement from its starting point to the end of this movement.

as a hiker in glacier national park, you need to keep the bears from getting at your food supply. You find a campground that is near an outcropping of ice. Part of the outcropping forms a feta=51.5* slopeup that leads to a verticle cliff. You decide that this is an idea place to hang your food supply out of bear reach. You put all of your food into a burlap sack, tie a rope to the sack, and then tie a bag full of rocks to the other end of the rope to act as an anchor. You currently have 18.5 kg of food left for the rest of your trip, so you put 18.5 kg of rocks in the anchor bag to balance it out. what happens when you lower the food bag over the edge and let go of the anchor bag? Determine the acceleration magnitude a of the two-bag system when you let go of the anchor bag?
2. A thin Nichrome wire is used in an experiment to test Ohm's
law using a power supply ranging from 0 to 12 V in steps of 2 V.
Why isn't the graph of I vs V linear?
1.
Nichrome wire does obey Ohm's law. Explain how that can that be true given the
results above
