A spacecraft built in the shape of a sphere moves past an observer on the Earth with a speed of 0.500c. What shape does the obse

3 0

Answer:

Given the speed of the 0.500c, the spacecraft is spherical.

Explanation:

The length of an object is contracted in the direction of the motion. It can be visualize that if a spherical body is contracted along a particular axial direction then the shape of the spherical body is seem to be in shape of a pillow, similarly the spherical spacecraft moves away and seems to be contracted along the direction of motion, so it becomes a round shape flattened along the direction of motion.

What is the difference between an induced and a permanent magnet?
MissTica
INDUCTION MOTOR:-

Speed:-Less speed range than PMAC motors • Speed range is a function of the drive being used — to 1,000:1 with an encoder, 120:1 under field-oriented control


Reliability:-Waste heat is capable of degrading insulation essential to motor operation • Years of service common with proper operation

Power density:-Induction produced by squirrel cage rotor inherently limits power density

Accuracy:-Flux vector and field-oriented control allows for some of accuracy of servos

Cost:-Relatively modest initial cost; higher operating costs

PERMANENT MAGNET MORTOR:-

speed:-VFD-driven PMAC motors can be used in nearly all induction-motor and some servo applications • Typical servomotor application speed — to 10,000 rpm — is out of PMAC motor range

Reliability:-Lower operating temperatures reduces wear and tear, maintenance • Extends bearing and insulation life • Robust construction for years of trouble-free operation in harsh environments.

power density:-Rare-earth permanent magnets produce more flux (and resultant torque) for their physical size than induction types.

Accuracy:-Without feedback, can be difficult to locate and position to the pinpoint accuracy of servomotors

<span>Cost:-Exhibit higher efficiency, so their energy use is smaller and full return on their initial purchase cost is realized more quickly</span>

How is a dam used to generate electric energy?
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Hydroelectric

Explanation:

  • Hydroelectric energy is usually generated by constructing a dam on a river, such that the water which flows through the dam is used to power turbines that generate electricity.

  • The quantity of energy that can be generated depends on the volume of water available and the difference in height between the water’s source and its outflow.
