The higher in the atmosphere, the less oxygen, and the more cold temperatures.

The material/moisture on the plane would freeze and damage the engine.

Plane engines need oxygen to burn fuel, they have to get their oxygen from the outside air. If they fly too high, the oxygen concentration in the air will drop too low for the engine to maintain combustion and will cause it to stall.

The electric motor in the car is powered by a battery.
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

I = 30 A.

Explanation:

Given that,

The voltage of the battery, V = 230 V

Power used to charge the battery, P = 6.9 kW

We need to find the current used to charge the battery. The formula for the power is given by :

P = VI

Where

I is current

So,

So, the required current is 30 A.

In his​ motorboat, Bill Ruhberg travels upstream at top speed to his favorite fishing​ spot, a distance of 120120 ​mi, in 33 hr.
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The rate of the boat in still water is 44 mph and the rate of the current is 4 mph

Explanation:

x​ = the rate of the boat in still water

y​ = the rate of the current.

Distance travelled = 120 mi

Time taken upstream = 3 hr

Time taken downstream = 2.5 hr

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed upstream

\frac{120}{3}=x-y\\\Rightarrow 40=x-y

Speed downstream

\frac{120}{2.5}=x+y\\\Rightarrow 48=x+y

Adding both the equations

48+40=x-y+x+y\\\Rightarrow 88=2x\\\Rightarrow 44=x

40=44-y\\\Rightarrow 40-44=-y\\\Rightarrow y=4

The rate of the boat in still water is <u>44 mph</u> and the rate of the current is <u>4 mph</u>

Which of the following is not a form of an inclined plane?
disa [49]

Answer: piece of paper cut into a triangle  

Explanation:

A plane surface lifted at an angle to horizontal from one edge is said to be an inclined plane. A wedge, a ramp or a screw are examples of a forms of inclined plane. A screw is like a inclined plane wound on a cylinder. These are simple machines. On the other hand, a piece of paper cut into a triangle is not an inclined plane as it does rise at an angle from horizontal. It is not a machine.

Describe how a wind turbine generates energy.
Artyom0805 [142]
The wind Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity.
