What happens if you fly a kite by a power line?

Probably nothing but if the kite happens to hit an are of the wire which is unprotected you may get a shock.


How does a kite stay in the air?

kites stay in the air they follow the air around the same things with bollons if they are let go they would fly away > moving air (wind ) is required, the angle of the kite gives vertical force to the kite, opposing gravity.


Would a rhombus and a kite be congruent?

If all of the sides of the kite have the same length, and it happens to be the sameas the length of each side of the rhombus, andeach angle of the kite happens to bethe same size as one of the angles of the rhombus, thenthey can be congruent.


How do kites stay up in the air?

Kites stay in the air because of the force exerted on them by moving air (wind). If there were no wind then the kite would fall to the ground. This is because gravity is always trying to pull the kite down. Now the force of wind comes in to play to keep the kite in the air. The kite is at an angle to the ground, and it looks like this slash when it is flying in the air ---> / That is important because as the kite catches the wind two orthogonal forces are applied to the kite. One that is anti-parallel to gravity (Meaning the force is pointing up.) and one that is orthogonal to gravity. We don't necessarily care about the orthogonal force for our example so let's forget about it. The force generated on the kite that is anti-parallel to gravity is what keeps it in the air, so long as the anti-parallel force is greater than the weight of the kite.


Why can't a Kite the quadrilateral have four right angles?

the reason is that the kite would not get any air to help it rise up
