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.

What happenes to our body temperature on a cold winter day or a hot summer day

viva [34]

In cold winter day, the body temperature falls down from normal temperature of 98.6°F (37°C) to 95°F (35°C). In winter body losses heat faster than it generates heat. If the temperature fall further below 95°F (35°C), it is emergency condition known as Hypothermia. One has to consult doctor in this case.

In summer hot days, body evaporates water in the form of sweat, in order to remain itself cool. Rise of temperature up to 100°F is normal. It is recommended to hydrate body to maintain temperature in summer days.

A(n) 12500 lb railroad car traveling at 7.8 ft/s couples with a stationary car of 7430 lb. The acceleration of gravity is 32 ft/

navik [9.2K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum. That is, the final momentum must be the same final momentum. And in each state, the momentum will be the sum of the product between the mass and the velocity of each object, then

$\text{Initial Momentum} = \text{Final Momentum}$
