Kinetic Energy (Ek) =
m \times {v}^{2} \div 2

Torricelli's Equation
g earth = 10m/s^2

{v}^{2} = {vo}^{2} + 2g \times delta(s) \\ {v}^{2} = 0 + 2 \times 10 \times 12 \\ {v}^{2} = 240m/s

120g = 0.12 kg

Ek = 0.12 x 240/2
Ek = 28.8/2
Ek = 14.4 J

Give two ways of reversing the direction of the forces on the coil in the electric motor?​
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Interchanging the poles of the magnet

Reversing the direction of the applied current

Explanation:

  1. The working of the electric motor is associated with Fleming's left-hand rule.
  2. It states that if a current-carrying conductor is placed inside a magnetic field, it experiences a force in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the electric current and magnetic field.
  3. These three physical quantities are placed in a mutually perpendicular direction.
  4. So, in order to reverse the direction of force, you have to either change the direction of the current or magnetic field.

I(ave) = P/A = 250000/(pi*0.425E-3^2) = 4.4056732E11 W/m^2 
I(peak) = 2I(ave) = 8.8113463E11 W/m^2
