<span>one year is 365, 1 day is 24 hours, 1 hour is 60 minutes, 60 minutes is 60 seconds, thus (365 * 24 * 60 * 60) = 31,536,000 one year is equal to 31,536,000 seconds. the plate has a speed of 4.8 cm every 31,536,000 seconds. lets find out how far it goes in 40 seconds. (4.8/31,536,000)*40 = 0.00000608828 The plate moves 0.00000608828 cm every 40 seconds</span>

Which device uses a rotating electric power source to produce a magnetic field?
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

A. a motor

Explanation:

A motor is an electrical device or machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. That is, a motor takes electrical energy to produce motion. There are different types of motors such as DC motor, induction motor and so on.

When electrical current flows through a coil, a magnetic flux is been produced, therefore when a rotating power source is supplied to coil of a motor, a magnetic field is produced which causes torque.

Find the acceleration produced.
krok68 [10]

Answer:

0.67m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of toy  = 1.2kg

Force applied = 0.8N

Unknown:

Acceleration   = ?

Solution:

According to newton's second law of motion;

      Force  = mass x acceleration

Now,

      Acceleration = \frac{Force}{mass}

     Acceleration  = \frac{0.8}{1.2}   = 0.67m/s²

What is the most appropriate SI unit to express the speed of a cyclist in a 10-km race? km/s cm/h km/h mm/s
Murljashka [212]
You sure wouldn't want something like cm/s or (yikes cm/hr). You want a reasonable number for sports usually between 0 and 100

Km / hour would be a good choice.

The next town to where I live is 25 km away. On a good day, I can make it there in about 3/4 of an hour.

Speed = 25 km / 0.75 hour = 33.3 km/hour. That's actually a little fast most of the time. But you should understand what I mean.
