While an airplane is in flight, four forces act on it. Thrust is caused by the airplane's propellers pushing through the surroun

ding air, pulling the airplane forward. Drag is caused by the air smacking into the plane's surface, pushing it backward. Lift is caused by the air rushing over the wings, pushing it upward. And weight is caused by gravity pulling the plane downward. Which force acts on the plane at a distance?

The answer would be weight

Among these 4 forces, the only force acting on the plane at a distance is weight.


In fact, weight is due to gravity, which is a non-contact force (it acts also from a distance). All the other forces, instead, are due to the contact between the plane (or parts of it) with the surrounding air: without the air, all the other 3 forces (thrust, lift, drag) would not be present, while weight would be always present.

Stels [109]
So the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s so that’s how quickly it will accelerate downwards. You can use a kinematic equation to determine your answer. We know that initial velocity was 19 m/s, final velocity must be 0 m/s because it’s at the very top, and the acceleration is -9.8 m/s. You can then use this equation:

Vf^2=Vo^2+2ax

Plugging in values:

What do understand by the efficiency of a machine? By using a block and tackel a man can raise a load of 720 N by an effort of 1
motikmotik

Answer:

Efficiency of a machine is how well the machine works and what the machine is capable of doing.

Mechanical advantage=Load/Effort.

720/180=4

Answer:

Definitely Spinning permanent magnets within an array of fixed permanent magnets

Explanation:

Any relative motion between magnets (be they permanent or electromagnetic) and a coil of wire will induce an electric current in the coil.

What will not induce an electric current is the relative motion between the two coils of wire (because there is no change in magnetic field), or the relative motion between two magnets (there are no coils of wire to induce the current into).

<em>Therefore, spinning permanent magnets within an array of fixed permanent magnets does not induce an electric current.</em>
