When were drink coasters first used?

Drink coasters were first used in the 17th century, primarily in Europe, as a practical solution to protect furniture from moisture and heat damage caused by beverages. Initially, they were made from various materials such as cork, wood, or metal. The modern design of coasters became more popular in the 19th century, especially with the rise of the beverage industry and the need for more decorative options. Today, coasters serve both functional and aesthetic purposes in homes and establishments.

How long does it take to ride the roller coaster The Beast?

This roller coaster at King's Island takes approximately four minutes to ride.

Can you breathe on top of kingda ka?

Yes, the ride will slow down for a few seconds.

Why do you think that the first hill on the roller coaster must be the tallest Explain in kinetic and potential terms?

When the cars go up the first hill, energy is put into the system through some machine (what pulls the cars up). From here on out, there are usually no more additions in energy to the system. Thus, at the top of the first hill, the cars have the highest potential energy. As the cars move down the first hill and up the second, some of the energy is lost through the heat given off by friction. So, the total energy of the system goes down. This means that, after each hill, the cars will have less energy and cannot go up a hill the same height as the first.

Since the cars lose kinetic energy through friction, each hill must be smaller than the last until the ride ends or another booster puts more energy into the system.

Why are roller coasters so safe?

Because of the way they are engineered to keep a person on the rollar coaster ,and because most of the coasters are inspected and tested and all that

What is the Mass of one cart of kingda ka?

The mass of one cart (or train car) of Kingda Ka, which is a roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure, is approximately 1,500 pounds (around 680 kilograms). Kingda Ka features a train with multiple cars, and each train typically consists of several cars that can accommodate multiple riders. The total mass will vary based on the number of cars in the train and the weight of the riders.

How would you calculate the average life of a roller-coaster swap?

Weight each repayment by the time it is repaid in years. So if 1 mio is repaid in 5.5 years multiply 1 mio * 5.5. Continue this process for each repayment and then add all the results.Divide this result by the maximum notional and that is the average life of the amortiziation part of the swap. I would then add the difference in years between the first drawdown and the peak notional.In this case if the first drawdown is at time 0 and the the peak notional is at 5.5 years (i.e. just as the first repayment is made) just add 5.5 to your result above.

250 kg roller coaster car has 20000 J of potential energy at the top of the hill what is the velocity of the car at the bottom of the hill?

Kinectic energy is the same as potential energy - so 20000 is the sames as half x m x vsquared - therefore 20000 is half 250 which is 125 - 20000 divided by 125 is velocity squared so then square root your answer and there it is
