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.

A body is oscillating up and down at the end of a spring. Let’s consider when the body is at the top of its up-and-down motion.
Klio2033 [76]

The velocity of the body is zero; option A

<h3>What is the motion of an oscillating body?</h3>

The motion of an oscillating body is known as simple harmonic motion.

Simple harmonic motion involves a periodical motion of a body whose acceleration is directed towards a fixed point.

For a body that is oscillating up and down at the end of a spring, considering when the body is at the top of its up-and-down motion, the velocity of the body at the top and down is zero since the body comes to rest at the top and down position of its motion.

In conclusion, oscillating bodies undergo simple harmonic motion.

A silver wire 2.6 mm in diameter transfers a charge of 420 C in 80 min. Silver contains 5.8 x 10- free electrons per cubic meter
kifflom [539]

Answer:

a). 87.5 mA or 87.5 x10^{-3}A

b). 1.78 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

d=2.6 mm \\Q=420C\\t=80min\\n=5.8x10^{28} \\q=1.6x10^{-19}

n the number of free electrons is 28 in text reference and if they don't give q is take as the charge of electron.

a).

I=\frac{Q}{t}\\ I= \frac{420 C}{80 min}*\frac{1min}{60 s} =\frac{420 C}{4800s}\\  I=87.5 x10^{-3}A

b).

I=n*abs (q)*V_{d}*A

A= \pi * (\frac{d}{2})^{2} \\A=\pi (*\frac{2.6x10^{-3} m}{2})^{2}  \\A=5.309x10^{-6}

V_{d} =\frac{I}{n*abs(q)*A} \\V_{d}=\frac{87.5 x10^{-2} }{5.8x^10{28} *1.6x^{-19} *5.3x^{6} }\\V_{d}=1.78 \frac{m}{s}

Which of the following is an example of an electromagnetic wave? (2 points)
Maru [420]
A) red light
red lights are an example of an electromagnetic wave. visible lights are the only electromagnetic waves we can actually see on the spectrum. red, in particular has the biggest wavelength.

b) ocean waves
ocean waves are not an electromagnetic wave. in fact, it’s a mechanical wave. electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, that is empty space, but mechanical waves cannot.

c) sound waves
sound waves are also not an electromagnetic wave. it’s a mechanical wave. you cannot hear electromagnetic waves.

d) earthquakes
an earthquake is also not an example of electromagnetic waves. it’s a mechanical wave.

hope this helps!

A bee flies at a constant rate of 5 m s until it notices a flower. It then comes to rest in 5 seconds. Find the acceleration of
JulsSmile [24]
Vi=5m/s because that was the speed before it started decelerating
Vf=0m/s because it says it comes to rest
t=5s because it says in the question

a=Vf-Vi/t
a=5m/s/5s
a=1m/s^2
