Answer:

A generator turns rotary motion into electricity. It is basically the inverse of a motor. Generally a transformer changes one voltage into another based on the number of conductor windings on each side. There are two sets of windings called the “primary” and the “secondary”.

Which best describes why Keplers observation of planetary motion is a law instead of a theory

svet-max [94.6K]

Kepler's first law - sometimes referred to as the law of ellipses - explains that planets are orbiting the sun in a path described as an ellipse. An ellipse can easily be constructed using a pencil, two tacks, a string, a sheet of paper and a piece of cardboard. Tack the sheet of paper to the cardboard using the two tacks. Then tie the string into a loop and wrap the loop around the two tacks. Take your pencil and pull the string until the pencil and two tacks make a triangle (see diagram at the right). Then begin to trace out a path with the pencil, keeping the string wrapped tightly around the tacks. The resulting shape will be an ellipse. An ellipse is a special curve in which the sum of the distances from every point on the curve to two other points is a constant. The two other points (represented here by the tack locations) are known as the foci of the ellipse. The closer together that these points are, the more closely that the ellipse resembles the shape of a circle. In fact, a circle is the special case of an ellipse in which the two foci are at the same location. Kepler's first law is rather simple - all planets orbit the sun in a path that resembles an ellipse, with the sun being located at one of the foci of that ellipse.

John pushes a box with a constant force as shown in the graph below.

andrew11 [14]

From the graph, it can be seen that the constant force that John exerted in order to move the object is 14N. Work is calculated by multiplying the force with the distance to which the object moves in parallel with the direction of the force.
Work = Force x displacement
Work = (14 N) x (8 m)
Work = 112 J
The closest value is 110J. Thus, the answer to this item is the second choice.

The whale shark is the largest of all fish and can have the mass of three adult

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

m = 20,000 kg

Explanation:

Force, $F=2.5\times 10^4\ N$

Acceleration of the shark, $a=1.25\ m/s^2$

It is required to find the mass of the shark. Let m is the mass. Using second law of motion to find it as follows :

F = ma

Putting the value of F and a to find m

$m=\dfrac{F}{a}\\\\m=\dfrac{2.5\times 10^4}{1.25}\\\\m=20,000\ kg$

So, the shark's mass is 20,000 kg.

A 4 kg rock is dropped from 5 m. There is no friction. What kind of energy does is have before? What kind of energy does it have

denpristay [2]

1) The total mechanical energy of the rock is:
$E=U+K$
where U is the gravitational potential energy and K the kinetic energy.

Initially, the kinetic energy is zero (because the rock starts from rest, so its speed is zero), and the total mechanical energy of the rock is just gravitational potential energy. This is equal to
$E_i=U=mgh$
where $m=4 kg$ is the mass, $g=9.81 m/s^2$ is the gravitational acceleration and $h=5 m$ is the height.
Putting the numbers in, we find the potential energy
$U=mgh=(4 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(5 m)=196.2 J$

2) Just before hitting the ground, the potential energy U is zero (because now h=0), and all the potential energy of the rock converted into kinetic energy, which is equal to:
$E_f=K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where v is the speed of the rock just before hitting the ground. Since the mechanical energy of the rock must be conserved, then the kinetic energy K before hitting the ground must be equal to the initial potential energy U of the rock:
$K=U=196.2 J$

3) For the work-energy theorem, the work W done by the gravitational force on the rock is equal to the variation of kinetic energy of the rock, which is:
$W=196.2 J-0 J=196.2 J$
