A 1,200 kg roller coaster car starts rolling up a slope at a speed of 15 m/s. What is the highest point it could reach?

11.48 m

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) of the roller coaster = 1200 Kg

Initial velocity (u) = 15 m/s.

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s (at highest point)

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Highest point (h) =?

The highest point reached by the roller coaster can be obtained as illustrated below:

h = u²/2g

h = 15² / 2 × 9.8

h = 225/19.6

h = 11.48 m

Therefore, the highest point reached by the roller-coaster is 11.48 m

answer: the correct answer for the fill in the blank is rods.

rods are the specialized photoreceptor cells that are present in the retina of human eye. they are responsible for vision in the night time ( also called scotopic vision). they have very low visual acuity and color distinguishing ability.

as they are responsible for vision in night time, therefore they are found predominantly in the nocturnal animals.
