Answer:

A _commutator_ is used in a motor to switch the direction of the magnetic field created by the current.

The rotating part of a motor that holds the electromagnets is called the __armature___.

Electric current passes through the _brushes_ and into the electromagnets in an electric motor.

A motor turns _electrical_ energy into _mechanical_ energy.

Explanation:

A commutator, which is a split ring rotary switching device, reverses the direction of the current between the external circuit and the rotor. Reversing the current reverses the magnetic field.

The armature comprises the rotating part of the motor and the electromagnets

A brush is the electrical contact for conducting current through the moving and stationary parts of an electric motor

An electric motor turns electrical energy into mechanical energy.

it is about 384,750 kilometers from earth to the moon. it took the apollo astronauts about 2 days and 19.5 hours to fly to the m
Jet001 [13]
We know, speed = Distance / Time
d = 384,750 Km
t = 2 days, 19.5 hours = 48+19.5 = 67.5 hour

Substitute their values, 
s = 384,750 / 67.5
s = 5700 Km/h

In short, Your Answer would be 5700 Km/h

Hope this helps!

A 26-g steel-jacketed bullet is fired with a velocity of 630 m/s toward a steel plate and ricochets along path CD with a velocit
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

  F = - 3.53 10⁵ N

Explanation:

This problem must be solved using the relationship between momentum and the amount of movement.

          I = F t = Δp

To find the time we use that the average speed in the contact is constant (v = 600m / s), let's use the uniform movement ratio

        v = d / t

        t = d / v

Reduce SI system

          m = 26 g ( 1 kg/1000g) = 26 10⁻³ kg

          d = 50 mm ( 1m/ 1000 mm) = 50 10⁻³ m

Let's calculate

         t = 50 10⁻³ / 600

         t = 8.33 10⁻⁵ s

With this value we use the momentum and momentum relationship

        F t = m v - m v₀

As the bullet bounces the speed sign after the crash is negative

       F = m (v-vo) / t

       F = 26 10⁻³ (-500 - 630) / 8.33 10⁻⁵

       F = - 3.53 10⁵ N

The negative sign indicates that the force is exerted against the bullet

A scientist shines light from a source onto a piece of metal, and no electrons are released by the metal. Increasing the intensi
Nezavi [6.7K]

This is the photoelectric effect, and it is best explained by the particle model of light.

<h3>What is the photoelectric effect?</h3>

The photoelectric effect refers to the emission of negatively charged particles and electromagnetic radiation that hits an object.

The photoelectric effect shows how electrons can be released from a given object when this material is absorbing electromagnetic radiation.

The photoelectric effect is a fundamental piece of evidence for understanding the nature of light particles.

Rubber rods charged by rubbing with cat fur repel each other. Glass rods charged by rubbing with silk repel each other. A rubber
puteri [66]

Answer:

C. A rubber rod and a glass rod charged this way have opposite charges on them.

Explanation:

When a rubber rod is rubbed against cat fur, it acquires a negative charge, it becomes negatively charged.

When you then try to bring two rubber rod's together, they repel because like charges repel.

Meanwhile, when you rub a glass rod against silk, it loses electrons to the silk material and becomes positively charged.

When you bring two positively charged glass rod's together, they repel, because like charges repel.

However, when you bring the rubber rod and a glass rod together, the attract each other because unlike/opposite charges attract.
