Why is alternating current more effective at long–distance travel than direct current?
the power lines are made out of conductors.
transformers increase or decrease voltage as needed.
the ac generator is more efficient.
ac has lower voltage than dc.

An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 162 ft, then climbs 127 ft at an angle of 31.0° above the horizontal. it then moves 127 ft at an angle of 46.0° below the horizontal. if we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)

Distinguish between a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave.
