The electromagnet in a motor leads to turning of the motor to create energy.

Explanation:

Every electric motor consists of a shaft, an electromagnet and a magnet.

The electromagnet is coiled with many wires connected to external electric current.

On passing of electric current to the coils, the electromagnet gets magnetized and depending upon the poles of the electromagnet, the shaft will be rotating in clockwise or anticlockwise direction.

If the poles of the electromagnet and the magnet are like poles to each other, then the magnet will be pushing the electromagnet outward leading to turning of the motor shaft in clockwise direction.

Similarly, when the direction of current get reversed as an AC current is used, the poles of the electromagnet and the magnet will be anti-clockwise to each other leading to attract of electromagnet to the magnet. This will also lead to rotating of the motor shaft in anticlockwise direction.

Why do you lurch forward in a bus that suddenly slows? why do you lurch backward when it picks up speed? what law applies here?
AveGali [126]
The law applied here is Newton's first law, also known as, law of inertia.
This law states that: A body will retain its state of rest or motion unless acted upon by an external force.

If you are moving and the bus suddenly stops, your body will lurch forward trying to retain its state of motion until it comes to rest and changes its state by the external force acted on it.

If you are at rest and the bus suddenly moves, your body will lurch backwards trying to retain its state of rest and opposing the force of motion until it is forced to change its state by this force.

Consult Interactive Solution 7.10 for a review of problem-solving skills that are involved in this problem. A stream of water st
AlekseyPX

Explanation:

Initial speed of the incident water stream, u = 16 m/s

Final speed of the exiting water stream, v = -16 m/s

The mass of water per second that strikes the blade is 48.0 kg/s.

We need to find the magnitude of the average force exerted on the water by the blade. The force acting on an object is given by :

F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}

Here, \dfrac{m}{t}=48\ kg/s

F=48\times (-16-16)\ N\\\\F=-1536\ N\\\\|F|=1536\ N

So, the magnitude of the average force exerted on the water by the blade is 1536 N.

If the earth were not revolving around the sun would the earth fall into the sun? Why?
Cerrena [4.2K]
<span>If it stopped spinning completely, you would get 1/2 year daylight and 1/2 year nightime!! During daytime for 6 months, the surface temperature would depend on your latitude, being far hotter that it is now at the equator than at the poles where the light rays are more slanted and heating efficiency is lower. This long-term temperature gradient would alter the atmospheric wind circulation pattern so that the air would move from the equator to the poles rather than in wind systems parallel to the equator like they are now!</span>
