Yes, it does. Because it requires the body to do work against the friction to be able to move which causes heating. Think about rubbing your hands and how they warm up as you rub them more vigorously.

Rocket engineers use newton's third law during launch. identify the action force.
rosijanka [135]
The answer is A. Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. A rocket exerts a large force on the gas that is in the rocket chamber (action). The gas thus exerts a large reaction force forward on the rocket (reaction). The large reaction force is called thrust.

Does gravity have an effect on the potential difference of a battery?
Sonja [21]

Answer: The correct answer is "No".

Explanation:

Gravity: It is the force which causes object to fall on the earth. It is the force which attracts bodies towards each other.

Potential difference: It is defined as the potential acting between the two points. The work done in moving the unit positive charge from one location to the another location.

The potential difference in battery is caused by the electrodes. There are two terminals in battery: Negative terminal which is at lower potential and Positive terminal which is at higher potential. It forces the electrons to flow in the circuit which constitutes the current.

The gravity and the potential difference have no relation between them.

Therefore, gravity have no effect on the potential difference of a battery.

Two vectors of magnitudes 30 units and 70 units are added to each other. What are possible results of this addition? (section 3.
Yanka [14]

Answer:

the correct answer is option C which is 50 units.

Explanation:

given,

two vector of magnitude = 30 units and of 70 units

to calculate resultants vector = \sqrt{a^2+b^2+2 a b cos\theta}

cos θ value varies from -1 to 1

so, resultant vector

=\sqrt{a^2+b^2-2 a b cos\theta}\ to\ \sqrt{a^2+b^2+ 2 a b cos\theta}

a = 30 units    and  b = 70 units

= \sqrt{30^2+70^2-2\times 30\times 70}\ to\ \sqrt{30^2+70^2+2\times 30\times 70}

=   40 units to 100 units

hence, the correct answer is option C which is 50 units.

Power windmills turn in response to the force of high-speed drag. For a sphere moving through a fluid, the resistive force, FR i
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The answer is 20727w

Explanation:

The formula is below;

P = d r^2 v^3 *efficiency

In the question, it is stated that the registration ignores efficiency so we are going to ignore efficiency in the equation and use it this way;

P = d r^2 * v^3

d =4.3, r = 1.59, v =n 12.4

Therefore, P = 4.3 X 1.59^2  X 12.4^3 = 20727W
