<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Eddy currents

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

<em><u>Eddy currents are currents which circulate in conductors like swirling eddies in a stream. These currents are induced by changing magnetic fields and flow in closed loops, perpendicular to the plane of the magnetic field. </u></em>
They are created as a result of change in the intensity or direction of a magnetic field on a conductor, this occurs either when a conductor is moving through a magnetic field, or when the magnetic field surrounding a stationary conductor is varying

wolverine [178]

Answer:

Average mass of acar in the US (in kg) = 1440 kg

Explanation:

Average mass of a car in the US (in g) = 1.440 × 10⁶ g

Mass in kg:

$\rm 1 \: g = {10}^{ - 3} \: kg \\ \\ \rm 1.440 \times 10^6 \ g = 1.440 \times 10^6 \times {10}^{ - 3} \ kg \\ \\ \rm = 1.440 \times 10^{6 - 3} \ kg \\ \\ \rm = 1.440 \times 10^3 \ kg \\ \\ \rm = 1.440 \times 1000 \ kg \\ \\ \rm = 1440 \ kg$

Which best describes a similarity between power plants that use water as an energy source and those that use wind as an energy s

disa [49]

The hydropower plant and wind turbines both uses kinetic energy to produce mechanical power and convert the mechanical energy using a generator to an electrical energy. They both have the process to produce energy but they differ in the source the hydropower plant uses water to whit the wind turbines power plant uses wind. Therefore the answer is letter B.

In SI units, what is the magnitude the net force acting on a 1,152 kg car that accelerates uniformly along a straight line from

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Fnet = 14515.2 Newton

Explanation:

Net force can be defined as the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body or an object i.e the sum of all forces acting simultaneously on a body or an object.

Mathematically, net force is given by the formula;

$Fnet = Fapp + Fg$
