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.

An electromagnet is a temporary magnet due to which of the following?
chubhunter [2.5K]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. An electromagnet is a temporary magnet because the magnet is only present when a current is present. <span>The </span>magnetic<span> field disappears when the </span>current<span> is </span>turned off<span>. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

When a person's temperature reaches 104 degrees, the chances of survival are decreased dramatically. Group of answer choices Tru
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

With the increase in temperature hypothalamus fails and heatstroke occurs due to this failure. Hypothalamus is the region of our brain that act as a thermostat. It co-ordinates our physiological response to excessive heat. When the person’s temperature reaches to 104 degrees then it causes heatstroke. This heatstroke is very sudden and can kill person. Hence, we can conclude that when person’s temperature reaches to 104 degrees chances of survival decreases dramatically.

Suppose a 48-N sled is resting on packed snow. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.10. If a person weighing 660 N sits on t
Annette [7]

Assume the snow is uniform, and horizontal.

Given:

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.10 = muK

weight of sled = 48 N

weight of rider = 660 N

normal force on of sled with rider = 48+660 N = 708 N = N

Force required to maintain a uniform speed

= coefficient of kinetic friction * normal force

= muK * N

= 0.10 * 708 N

=70.8 N


Note: it takes more than 70.8 N to start the sled in motion, because static friction is in general greater than kinetic friction.
