An electric motor is electric machinery that converts electrical energy supplied to it to mechanical energy.

It works on the principle of applying a magnetic field in electromagnetism.

A current-carrying loop is exposed to a magnetic field which results in torque.

The torque formed rotates the coil which is then followed by rotation of propellers as the current passes through the loop.

Explanation

An electric motor consist of a rotor- a moving part, commutator, brushes, axle, field-magnet, power supply and a stator- a part going around the rotor.

Answer:

An electric motor is a device that changes electrical energy into mechanical energy. This change occurs due to the interaction between the magnetic field of magnets and the magnetic field due to the electric current in the loop. The interaction between the two produces a torque that makes the loop rotate on a shaft.

How were the fossil symbols and mountain bets helpful in deciding where to move the continenets

Alborosie

<span>Similar fossils found on different continents helped geologists determine how the continents used to be connected. Mountain belts marked the boundaries of moving plates, which showed in which direction the different continents drifted. Extrapolating from this information, scientists had a rough idea of how the continents were arranged eons ago.</span>

An oscillator consists of a block attached to a spring (k = 427 N/m). At some time t, the position (measured from the system's e

White raven [17]

Answer:

a) 4.49Hz

b) 0.536kg

c) 2.57s

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using the equation for he position and velocity of an object in a mass-string system:

$x=Acos(\omega t)\\\\v=-\omega Asin(\omega t)\\\\a=-\omega^2Acos(\omega t)$

for some time t you have:

x=0.134m

v=-12.1m/s

a=-107m/s^2

If you divide the first equation and the third equation, you can calculate w:

$\frac{x}{a}=\frac{Acos(\omega t)}{-\omega^2 Acos(\omega t)}\\\\\omega=\sqrt{-\frac{a}{x}}=\sqrt{-\frac{-107m/s^2}{0.134m}}=28.25\frac{rad}{s}$

with this value you can compute the frequency:

$f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}=\frac{28.25rad/s}{2\pi}=4.49Hz$

the mass of the block is given by the formula:

$f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\\\m=\frac{k}{4\pi^2f^2}=\frac{427N/m}{(4\pi^2)(4.49Hz)^2}=0.536kg$

c) to find the amplitude of the motion you need to know the time t. This can computed by dividing the equation for v with the equation for x and taking the arctan:

$\frac{v}{x}=-\omega tan(\omega t)\\\\t=\frac{1}{\omega}arctan(-\frac{v}{x\omega })=\frac{1}{28.25rad/s}arctan(-\frac{-12.1m/s}{(0.134m)(28.25rad/s)})=2.57s$
