A roller coaster is stopped on a track. When the engineer presses a launch button on the coaster, the coaster moves forward. Explain this change in terms of balanced and unbalanced forces.

Two point charges are on the y axis. a 3.90-µc charge is located at y = 1.25 cm, and a -2.4-µc charge is located at y = −1.80 cm. (a) find the total electric potential at the origin. v (b) find the total electric potential at the point whose coordinates are (1.50 cm, 0). v

Afisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surface of the water. it takes a time of 2.20 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.670 m . the fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.80 m apart. (a) how much is the wavelength? (b) find the period of the wave. (c) how fast are the waves traveling? (d) what is the amplitude a of each wave?

What is the name for the remnant of an asymptotic giant that has lost its shells? black dwarf white dwarf yellow giant black hole
