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.

How does a mirror affect the path of light?
yulyashka [42]

Light rays change direction when they hit a mirror. The phenomenon is known as reflection. Light rays travels in a straight light. They strike the surface of the mirror at a particular angle called incident angle. It is the angle between the ray and normal at the point of contact. The rays leaves the surface making the same angle with the normal called reflection angle but in different direction.

A sound wave was determined to have a frequency of 0.3 Hz, speed of 150 cm/s, and amplitude of 2 cm. Find its wavelength.
fredd [130]

Answer:

5 m

Explanation:

From the question,

v = λf....................... Equation 1

Where v = speed of the sound wave, λ = wavelength of the sound wave, f = frequency of the sound wave.

make λ the subject of the equation

λ = v/f..................... Equation 2

Given: v = 150 cm/s = 1.5 m/s, f = 0.3 hz.

Substitute these values into equation 2

λ = 1.5/0.3

λ = 5 m.

A pendulum that has a period of 2.67000 s and that is located where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.77 m/s2 is moved to a l
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for time period of pendulum is given as follows

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

where l is length of pendulum and g is acceleration due to gravity .

Putting the given values for first place

2.67=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{9.77} }

Putting the values for second place

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{9.81} }

Dividing these two equation

\frac{T}{2.67} =\sqrt{\frac{9.77}{9.81} }

T = 2.66455 s.

Its a motion phisic question but im a little confused. Help me fast please.
Alenkinab [10]

6: Short way: it cannot be 2.5, 3, or 5 because up to 5 seconds it only has positive velocity so it must be moving forwards.

Long Way: Velocity is in m / s, multiply that by time (s) to get m or displacement. From 0->5 you have a triangle under the curve, (1/2)(5)(20) = 50 meters displaced positive, you need to then look when velocity is under the curve and use a similar equation to solve for the area but make the answer negative. Find the point where it equals -50 and that is where it will have returned.

Answer to 6: B

7. I cannot see the problem enough to answer this. Just know if the line is above 0 velocity is positive so it is moving the direction it started, when it goes below 0 velocity is negative so it is moving opposite direction it started.

8. Accelration is change in velocity. Whatever the slope of the velocity graph is acceleration. At t=8 the slope is 0 because it is not going up or down.

Answer to 8: A
