A maglev is a type of train that rides on a "cushion of magnetism." These trains can attain very high speeds because
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

A. friction is greatly reduced.

Explanation:

Maglev train runs on the principle of repulsion force due to magnetic field

here we know that magnetic field will apply force on the train which helps to levitate train in air

This is why it runs forward due to other component of magnetic force and hence it can run with high speed in air with least friction as there is no two surfaces in contact with each other

So here we can say that

Train run with very high speed due to least value of friction between two surfaces which moves relative to each other

so correct answer is

A. friction is greatly reduced.

8. A rectangle is measured to be 6.4 +0.2 cm by 8.3 $0.2 cm.
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

a) The perimeter of the rectangle is 29.4 centimeters.

b) The uncertainty in its perimeter is 0.8 centimeters.

Explanation:

a) From Geometry we remember that the perimeter of the rectangle (p), measured in centimeters, is represented by the following formula:

p = 2\cdot (w+l) (1)

Where:

w - Width, measured in centimeters.

l - Length, measured in centimeters.

If we know that w = 6.4\,cm and l = 8.3\,cm, then the perimeter of the rectangle is:

p = 2\cdot (6.4\,cm+8.3\,cm)

p = 29.4\,cm

The perimeter of the rectangle is 29.4 centimeters.

b) The uncertainty of the perimeter (\Delta p), measured in centimeters, is estimated by differences. That is:

\Delta p = 2\cdot (\Delta w + \Delta l)  (2)

Where:

\Delta w - Uncertainty in width, measured in centimeters.

\Delta l - Uncertainty in length, measured in centimeters.

If we know that \Delta w = 0.2\,cm and \Delta l = 0.2\,cm, then the uncertainty in perimeter is:

\Delta p = 2\cdot (0.2\,cm+0.2\,cm)

\Delta p = 0.8\,cm

The uncertainty in its perimeter is 0.8 centimeters.

A car traveling 20 m/s to the north collides with a car traveling 10 m/s to the
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: C

Explanation:

In collision, whether elastic or inelastic collisions, momentum is always conserved. That is, the momentum before collision will be equal to the momentum after collision.

Change in momentum of the system will be momentum after collision minus total momentum before collision.

Since momentum is a vector quantity, the direction will also be considered.

Momentum = MV - mU

Let

M = 800 kg is going north

at V = 20 m/s and the other car

m= 800 kg is going south

at U = 10m/s.

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

Momentum = (800 × 20) - (800 × 10)

= 8000 kgm/s

The final momentum after collision will also be equal to 8000 kgm/s

Change in momentum = 8000 - 8000

Change in momentum = 0

I don't understand why when you use a straw the higher pressure outside of it pushes the water up the straw.
ValentinkaMS [17]
When material stuff is free to move, it moves away from stronger force on it to weaker force on it. OK ? Now take it to the next step: When material stuff is free to flow ... like liquid or gas ... it flows from higher pressure to lower pressure. That's what makes wind, and that's why water comes out of a garden hose when you open the nozzle. It doesn't amaze you at all when you INCREASE the pressure at one end of the straw (blow into it), and air moves DOWN and out of it. So it shouldn't bother you that when you DECREASE the pressure at your end, anything that's free to flow UP the straw will do that.
