asy to understand.

Zarrin [17]3 years ago

Roller coasters work by utilizing its potential energy. Potential energy is "lost" as the cars lose height, subsequently gaining kinetic energy as revealed by increased speeds (and loop the loop). As the cars of the roller coaster course through the changing heights, it constantly swaps between potential and kinetic energy. Theoretically, this process could be endless. However, energy is continually "lost" because of dissipative forces such as friction and air resistance.

An airplane, starting from rest, moves down the runway at constant acceleration for 18 s and then takes off at a speed of 60 m/s
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

a =3.33 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

initial speed of Plane, u = 0 m/s

final speed of plane, v = 60 m/s

time of the acceleration, t = 18 s

average acceleration of the plane, a = ?

average acceleration is equal to change in velocity per unit time.

a = \dfrac{v - u}{t}

a = \dfrac{60 - 0}{18}

a = \dfrac{60}{18}

     a =3.33 m/s²

Hence, average acceleration of the plane is equal to a =3.33 m/s²

Interference is an example of which aspect of electromagnetic radiation
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

We experience interference while listening to the radio. A radio station works by sending and receiving radio waves. Since the radio waves are being interfered with other waves which must have a wave nature.

The interference is the net result of two individual waves. It can be constructive or destructive interference and is the property of waves and not particles.

This interference is an example of electromagnetic radiation. Thus we experience wave behavior of electromagnetic radiation in our daily communications.

Why do the magnetic forces acting on the coil change as the current running through the coil changes?
VladimirAG [237]

Answer: The changing magnetic field caused by the material's motion induces a current in the coil of wire proportional to the change in field. If a 0 is represented, the magnetic field does not change between the two domains of a bit, so no current is induced as the magnetic material passes the coil.
