Why are the wheels on a roller coaster hot after a ride. (I know it’s due to friction but I need more of a detailed answer).

1 answer:

8 0

2 someone's glasses could fall of because of the inertia
roller coaster is in motion but your glasses are opposing and resisting that motion due to inertia....

1 there is a possibility that electrons move from wheels to the rail and vice versa which also means that it is producing some kind of electrical energy

Makovka662 [10]

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (total time to cover the distance)

   = (2,742 km) / (4.33 hours)

   = (2,742 / 4.33) km/hr

   = 633 km/hr (rounded)

A bat can detect small objects such as an insect whose size is approximately equal to the wavelength of the sound the bat makes.

zaharov [31]

Given that,

Frequency emitted by the bat, f = 47.6 kHz

The speed off sound in air, v = 413 m/s

We need to find the wavelength detected by the bat. The speed of a wave is given by formula as follows :

$v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{413}{47.6\times 10^3}\\\\\lambda=0.00867\ m$

$\lambda=8.67\ mm$

So, the bat can detect small objects such as an insect whose size is approximately equal to the wavelength of the sound the bat makes i.e. 8.67 mm.

What is the difference between regional metamorphism and contact metamorphism?

-Dominant- [34]

Contact metamorphism is a type of metamorphism where rock minerals and texture are changed, mainly by heat, due to contact with magma. Regional metamorphism is a type of metamorphism where rock minerals and texture are changed by heat and pressure over a wide area or region.
