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?

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.

Explain the relationship between temperature, energy, and motion of particles in an object.
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Explanation:

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body.

Energy is the ability to do work by a body. They are of two forms, potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is due to the position of a body whereas kinetic energy is due to the motion of a body.

Motion is the change in position of a body with time.

Temperature, energy and motion are all related.

Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy which is concerned about the motion particles. This form of energy results from heat changes in a body which causes temperature differences.

When a body is heat and changes temperature, the particles begins to vibrate as they gain, thermal energy, a form of kinetic energy. At a point, the particles will break lose and set in motion.

You throw a ball upward with an initial speed of 4.3 m/s. When it returns to your hand 0.88 s later, it has the same speed in th
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The acceleration is -9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Hi there!!

When you throw a ball upward, there is a downward acceleration that makes the ball return to your hand. This acceleration is produced by gravity.

The average acceleration is calculated as the variation of the speed over time. In this case, we know the time and the initial and final speed. Then:

acceleration = final speed - initial speed/ elapsed time

acceleration = -4.3 m/s - 4.3 m/s / 0.88 s

acceleration = -9.8 m/s²

A device that converts high voltages to lower voltages is a(n) ________.
AysviL [449]

Answer: A) Transformer

Explanation: A Transformer is an apparatus, device or a component in a system that is used to convert high voltage into low voltage. It is used to either increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current.

A transformer uses the basic principle of electro magnetic induction, having two or more coils, the voltage is changed from one coil to another but with thesame frequency as alternating current energy passes through them.
