Which best contrasts an electric generator and an electric motor?

An electrical generator and motor are two machines that operate oppositely.


An electrical generator uses mechanical energy, converting it to produce electrical energy. This mechanical energy is provided in most cases from a spinning/rotating action in which a wire or loop of wire spins in a magnetic field. This causes the wire to move sharply through the magnetic field, causing current to flow, and in turn, creating electricity.


An electrical motor does the opposite, but uses the same principles, converting electrical energy to produce mechanical energy. The motor will have an alternating current (AC) moving through pairs of magnets, producing a rotating magnetic field. This causes the motor's central rotor to spin, powering whatever machinery it is hooked up to.

How many atoms are in a sample of 1.83 moles of potassium (K) atoms?
telo118 [61]
<span>Avogadro's number represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles.

 </span>1.83 moles K (6.022 x 10^23 atoms / mole ) = 1.10 x 10^24 atoms K

A transverse wave on a string has an amplitude a. A tiny spot on the string is colored red. As one cycle of the wave passes by
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Option D) 4A

Explanation:

As the cycle of the wave passes by, the amplitude gives the longest journey when the spot travels from the undistributed position. During each cycle the spot travels "Four times" .

Considering one of this cycle, if it begins to travel from it's undistributed position , there would be four movements i.e

* Upward movement through distance A

*Downward movement through distance A

*Downward again through distance A

*Upward through distance A.

Then it would travel back to its undistributed position held

If at 10m above the ground an object has 50J of Kinetic Energy, with 50J of Potential Energy. How high can the object travel?
steposvetlana [31]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{\text{B) 20 meters}}

We know that:

E_T = U + K

U = Potential Energy (J)

K = Kinetic Energy (J)

E = Total Energy (J)

At 10m, the total amount of energy is equivalent to:

U + K = 50 + 50 = 100 J

To find the highest point the object can travel, K = 0 J and U is at a maximum of 100 J, so:

100J = mgh

We know at 10m U = 50J, so we can solve for mass. Let g = 10 m/s².

50J = 10(10)m

m = 1/2 kg

Now, solve for height given that E = 100 J:

100J = 1/2(10)h

100J = 5h

<u>h = 20 meters</u>
