Describe the differences and similarities between an electromotor and a generator.

Physics
1 answer:
Effectus [21]3 years ago
7 0

Differences:

An electrical motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy,where as a generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

The principle of a electric motor if there is a change of the magnetic field across a conductor  electrons are forced to move in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field,where as in a generator if a charge is moving in a magnetic field, a force acts on the charge in a direction perpendicular to both the velocity of the charge and the magnetic field.

similarities:

Both electric motor and generator work on the magnetic effects of electric current.

Both have the armatures to rotate the loop.

Consider a motor that exerts a constant torque of 25.0 nâ‹…m to a horizontal platform whose moment of inertia is 50.0 kgâ‹…m2. A
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

W = 1884J

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. The original question was:

<em>Consider a motor that exerts a constant torque of 25.0 N.m to a horizontal platform whose moment of inertia is 50.0kg.m^2 . Assume that the platform is initially at rest and the torque is applied for 12.0rotations . Neglect friction. </em>

<em> How much work W does the motor do on the platform during this process?  Enter your answer in joules to four significant figures.</em>

The amount of work done by the motor is given by:

W=\Delta K

W= 1/2*I*\omega f^2-1/2*I*\omega o^2

Where I = 50kg.m^2 and ωo = rad/s. We need to calculate ωf.

By using kinematics:

\omega f^2=\omega o^2+2*\alpha*\theta

But we don't have the acceleration yet. So, we have to calculate it by making a sum of torque:

\tau=I*\alpha

\alpha=\tau/I     =>     \alpha = 0.5rad/s^2

Now we can calculate the final velocity:

\omega f = 8.68rad/s

Finally, we calculate the total work:

W= 1/2*I*\omega f^2 = 1883.56J

Since the question asked to "<em>Enter your answer in joules to four significant figures.</em>":

W = 1884J

Think about the mice shown below. Using the space below numbered 1, describe what is happening from figure 1 to 3.​
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: Natural selection is taking place.

Explanation:

As you can see, the lighter colored mice are more visible than their surroundings, so the hawk picks them off one by one. the brown mice on the other hand are less visible, blending in with their surroundings, so they are successful, and pass on the genes that allow them to survive better.

Find the net force and acceleration. 10 points. Will give brainliest.
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

a) 16 N

b) 2.13 m/s²

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the tv stand.  There are four forces:

Weight force mg pulling down,

Normal force N pushing up,

Friction force Nμ pushing left,

and applied force P pulling right.

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

N − mg = 0

N = mg

The net force in the x direction is:

∑F = P − Nμ

∑F = P − mgμ

∑F = 25 N − (7.5 kg) (10 m/s²) (0.12)

∑F = 16 N

Net force equals mass times acceleration:

∑F = ma

16 N = (7.5 kg) a

a = 2.13 m/s²
