Answer:

The role of a commutator in a electric generator is a rotary switch (in certain types of electrical generators that periodically reverse the current direction between the rotor and the external circuit by that reversing it in the current direction teb rotating windings all half turn a force called torque is produced)

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

ElenaW [278]

B - speed and direction are combined in another quantity, called velocity. It can be thought of as its speed in a particular direction. Speed is the corresponding scalar quantity, because it does not have a direction.

A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 80.6 m/s at ground level.

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

44.64 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 4.2\times 1180+80.6^2}\\\Rightarrow v=128.01\ m/s$

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 128.01=80.6+4.2t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{128.01-80.6}{4.2}=11.29\ s$

Time taken to reach 1180 m is 11.29 seconds

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=128.01-9.8t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{128.01}{9.8}=13.06\ s$

Time the rocket will keep going up after the engines shut off is 13.06 seconds.

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-128.01^2}{2\times -9.8}\\\Rightarrow s=836.05\ m$

The distance the rocket will keep going up after the engines shut off is 836.05 m

Total distance traveled by the rocket in the upward direction is 1180+836.05 = 2016.05 m

The rocket will fall from this height

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 2016.05=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{2016.05\times 2}{9.8}}\\\Rightarrow t=20.29\ s$

Time taken by the rocket to fall from maximum height is 20.29 seconds

Time the rocket will stay in the air is 11.29+13.06+20.29 = 44.64 seconds

Joe and Max shake hands and say goodbye. Joe walks east 0.40 km to a coffee shop, and Max flags a cab and rides north 3.65 km to

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

3.67 km

Explanation:

Joe distance towards coffee shop is,

$OB=0.40 km$

And the Max distance towards bookstore is,

$OA=3.65 km$

Now the distance between the Joy and Max will be,

By applying pythagorus theorem,

$AB=\sqrt{OB^{2}+OA^{2}}$

Substitute 0.40 km for OB and 3.65 km for OA in the above equation.

$AB=\sqrt{0.40^{2}+3.65^{2}}\\AB=\sqrt{13.4825} \\AB=3.67 km$

Therefore the distance between there destination is 3.67 km.

Sonia was experimenting with electric charges. She tied two inflated balloons together, held them next to each other, and rubbed

lions [1.4K]

Answer: They will repel each other.

Explanation:

Two inflated balloons when rubbed with woolen cloth will lead to repeal each other because of the similar charges on both the balloons.

Rubbing both the balloons together by the woolen cloth will introduce negative charge in the balloons.

As, we know that the same charges repeal each other both of the balloons with be apart from each other.

This is due to the static electricity, the negatively charged particles jump to the positive one. When balloons are rubbed they become negatively charged.
