So do i post to multiply that

Using diagram differentiate between solenoid and a toroid

damaskus [11]

The Toroid is form when you have wound conductor around circular body. In this case you have magnatic field inside the core but you dont have any poles because circular body dont have ends. This can be used where you want minimum flux leakage and dont need magnatic poles. i.e. toroidal inductor, toroidal transformer.

The Solenoid is forn when you wound conductor around body with limb. In this case magnatic field creates two poles N and S. Solenoids have little bit flux leakage. This used where you want magnatic poles and flux leakage is not an issue. i.e. relay, motors, electromagnates.

1 == toroid

2= solenoid

What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy and how do they work?

Iteru [2.4K]

To explain, I will use the equations for kinetic and potential energy:

$PE = mgh\\KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

<h3>Potential energy </h3>

Potential energy is the potential an object has to move due to gravity. An object can only have potential energy if 1) <u>gravity is present</u> and 2) <u>it is above the ground at height h</u>. If gravity = 0 or height = 0, there is no potential energy. Example:

An object of 5 kg is sitting on a table 5 meters above the ground on earth (g = 9.8 m/s^2). What is the object's gravitational potential energy? <u>(answer: 5*5*9.8 = 245 J</u>)

(gravitational potential energy is potential energy)

<h3>Kinetic energy</h3>

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object has while in motion. An object can only have kinetic energy if the object has a non-zero velocity (it is moving and not stationary). An example:

An object of 5 kg is moving at 5 m/s. What is the object's kinetic energy? (<u>answer: 5*5 = 25 J</u>)

<h3>Kinetic and Potential Energy</h3>

Sometimes, an object can have both kinetic and potential energy. If an object is moving (kinetic energy) and is above the ground (potential), it will have both. To find the total (mechanical) energy, you can add the kinetic and potential energies together. An example:

An object of 5 kg is moving on a 5 meter table at 10 m/s. What is the objects mechanical (total) energy? (<u>answer: KE = .5(5)(10^2) = 250 J; PE = (5)(9.8)(5) = 245 J; total: 245 + 250 = 495 J</u>)

LOTS OF POINTS!!!

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Explanation: The two main types of nuclear power are nuclear fusion and fission. Nuclear fission is used in nuclear power plants to create elements. Nuclear fission works by having a stray neutron collide with a nucleus. When this happens, it breaks the nucleus up, and another nuclei collides with another nucleus. A chain reaction occurs as this process continues. I personally think this type of nuclear power is dangerous because the result is radioactive byproducts. Also, meltdowns can occur in a nuclear power plant as a result of nuclear fission. I think nuclear fusion would be a much safer energy source. It is cheap and practically unlimited. Nuclear fusion occurs when two nuclei fuse together to create a larger nucleus. Nuclear fusion also proves Albert Einstein's equation E=mc2. The element you start out with is greater than the element you end up with after fusion occurs. This is due to some of the matter actually being converted into energy, which agrees with Einstein's equation. I think nuclear fusion is a safer energy source because it does not create radioactive byproducts that can be potentially harmful. Nuclear fusion, however, is not understood that well by scientists. As a result, we continue to use nuclear fission because we know how to use it. Until scientists fully understand nuclear fusion, scientists will continue to use nuclear fission for energy sources.

The coefficient of kinetic friction between an object and the surface upon which it is sliding is 0. 10. The mass of the object

lilavasa [31]

The force of friction is 78.4 N

What is force of friction?

Frictional force is the force created when two surfaces come into contact and slide against each other. it is given by the equation:

$F_{f} =$ μ * $F_{n}$

where,

$F_{f}$ = force of friction

μ = coefficient of friction

$F_{n}$ = normal force

Given,

μ $= 0.10, m = 8.0 kg$

We know,

$F_{n} = mg$

$F_{n} = 8.0 * 9.8\\\\ F_{n} = 78.4 N$

Subsituing the values in equation:

$F_{f} =$ μ * $F_{n}$

$F_{f} = 0.10 * 78.4 \\\\F_{f} = 7.84 N$

The force of friction is 78.4 N.
