Hey there!

In order to generate electricity from mechanical energy, one essential element needed to transform the energy into electrical energy is a magnet or magnetic field

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

D) a magnet or magnetic field.

Explanation:

Electricity can be generated from mechanical energy due to a phenomenon called electromagnetic induction.

This phenomenon occurs when the magnetic flux (due to the presence of a magnetic field) through an enclosed circuit is changed: when this happens, an electromotive force is induced in the circuit, and as a consequence, an electrical current is induced in the circuit.

This phenomenon can be produced in different ways; for example:

1- By rotating a coil in a fixed magnetic field --> by rotating the coil, the magnetic flux through the circuit changes over time, so a current is induced in the circuit

2- By varying the intensity of the magnetic field over time --> this way, the magnetic flux through the circuit changes as well

Number #1 is used in electrical generators to produce electrical energy from mechanical energy (kinetic energy): in fact, a coil is made rotating (so, kinetic energy) in a magnetic field, producing an electrical current (electrical energy). It is clear that an essential element of this system is the presence of a magnet or a magnetic field, so D) is the correct answer.

if an object is moving at a constant speed in a changing direction, What is the acceleration of the object (zero or not zero)​
Andreas93 [3]
  • We know, acceleration is the change of velocity by time.
  • Velocity is the speed of an object which also indicates the direction.
  • Hence, acceleration is both dependant upon the speed as well as the direction.
  • So, if an object is moving at a constant speed in a changing direction, the acceleration will also change. It will not be zero.
  • An example is that of uniform circular motion.

Answer:

if an object is moving at a constant speed in a changing direction, the acceleration of the object will not be zero.

To store stacks of clean plates, a cafeteria uses a closed cart with a spring-loaded shelf inside. Customers can take plates off
ruslelena [56]

The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

The option for the question is "A" approximately.

  • <u><em>Therefore the elastic potential energy of the string is 20 J.</em></u>

Explanation:

Given:

Spring constant (k) = 240 N/m

amount of the compression (x) = 0.40 m

To calculate:

Elastic potential energy (E)

We know;

<em>According to the formula;</em>

    E = \frac{1}{2} × k × x × x

   <u>E = </u>\frac{1}{2}<u> × k ×(x)²</u>

where;

E represents the elastic potential energy

K represents the spring constant

x represents amount of the compression in the string

So therefore,

Substituting the values in the above formula;

      E = \frac{1}{2} × 240 × (0.40)²

      E =  \frac{1}{2} × 240 × 0.16

      E =  \frac{1}{2} × 38.4

      E = 19.2 J or approximately 20 J

<u><em>Therefore the elastic potential energy of the string is 20 J.</em></u>
