Elastic energy of rubber straps is converted into the kinetic energy of the capsule which is converted into  gravitational potential energy as capsule.

<h3>What is energy transformation?</h3>

In accordance with the law of energy conservation, energy is neither created nor destroyed but can be converted from one form to another. This implies that energy is not lost and continues to exist.

The energy conversion that takes place as the 'rider' is strapped in is fired high into the sky by rubber straps is elastic energy of rubber straps is converted into the kinetic energy of the capsule which is converted into  gravitational potential energy as capsule.

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :)
Rainbow [258]

Explanation:

Usually when we think of waves, we think of transverse waves.  These are waves where points move up and down perpendicular to the motion of the wave.  Examples include water waves, whipping a rope, or even doing the "wave" in a crowd.  You can think of these as "two dimensional" waves.

Longitudinal waves are waves where points move left or right, parallel to the motion of the wave.  In other words, there is compression and expansion of the medium.  Examples include sound waves, or pulses in a slinky.

If a short-wave radio station broadcasts on a frequency of 9.065 megahertz (MHz), what is the wavelength of
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

If the radio wave is on an FM station, these are in Megahertz. A megahertz is one ... Typical radio wave frequencies are about 88~108 MHz .

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of a radio wave, you will be using the equation: Speed of a wave = wavelength X frequency.

Since radio waves are electromagnetic waves and travel at 2.997 X

8

meters/second, then you will need to know the frequency of the radio wave.

If the radio wave is on an FM station, these are in Megahertz. A megahertz is one million hertz. If the radio wave is from an AM radio station, these are in kilohertz (there are one thousand hertz in a kilohertz). Hertz are waves/second. Hertz is usually the label for the frequency of electromagnetic waves.

To conclude, to determine the wavelength of a radio wave, you take the speed and divide it by the frequency.

Typical radio wave frequencies are about
