An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy obtained from an external source into electrical energy as the output.
It is important to understand that a generator does not actually ‘create’ electrical energy. Instead, it uses the mechanical energy supplied to it to force the movement of electric charges present in the wire of its windings through an external electric circuit. This flow of electric charges constitutes the output electric current supplied by the generator. This mechanism can be understood by considering the generator to be analogous to a water pump, which causes the flow of water but does not actually ‘create’ the water flowing through it.
The modern-day generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831-32. Faraday discovered that the above flow of electric charges could be induced by moving an electrical conductor, such as a wire that contains electric charges, in a magnetic field. This movement creates a voltage difference between the two ends of the wire or electrical conductor, which in turn causes the electric charges to flow, thus generating electric current.
One point will be X1,Y1 and the other will be X2,Y2. It does not matter which is which except that X1 and Y1 have to be the same point and X2 and Y2 have to be the same point. For example, let's say you were given (2,3) and (6,8). No matter which point is X1,Y1 and the other is X2,Y2, the slope will still be 5/4.
The rise is the change in y from one point to the other. The run would be the change in x from one point to the other.
Answer:
20.5s
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Distance = 30m
Unknown:
Time = ?
Solution:
The time it will take to hop a distance of 30m using the speed for the 5m trial is the duration of the trip.
The speed for the 5m trial = 1.46m/s
Now;
Speed = 
Distance = speed x time
time = 
Input the parameters and solve;
time =
= 20.5s
ANSWER:
250 J
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
F = 20N is required to stretch the spring by 4 meters
We know that the force is equal to:

We solve for k (spring constant):

The work done in stretching the spring is given by the following equation (in this case the stretch is 10 meters:

The work required is 250 joules.
