How is alternating current generated?

Physics
1 answer:
Viefleur [7K]3 years ago

AC can be produced using a device called an alternator. This device is a special type of electrical generator designed to produce alternating current. A loop of wire is spun inside of a magnetic field, which induces a current along the wire.

the second law of thermodynamics states that thermal energy can floe from colder objects to hotter objects?
hodyreva [135]
BIg, big questions in Thermodynamics. ...
Not without "help" it can't. There are two versions of this. One is that it is impossible to take heat from something and convert it completely into work - there has to be some waste at a lower temperature. The other is that heat will not "spontaneously" go from a colder place to a warmer place. So, a domestic fridge needs a device to transfer the heat, that's that buzzing sound of a motor driving a refrigerant round in a cycle, taking heat out the fridge and making the surrounding warmer. It's also called a heat pump. The area near where the pump puts its heat can be felt to be warm.

Calcular la aceleración que produce una fuerza de 40 N sobre un cuerpo con 88 Kg de masa. Expresar el resultado en m⁄s^2 *
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

a = 0.45 m/s²

Explanation:

The given question is ''Calculate the acceleration that produces a force of 40 N on a body with 88 kg of mass".

Given that,

Force, F = 40 N

Mass of the body, m = 88 kg

The net force acting on the body is given by :

F = ma

Where

a is the acceleration of the body

a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{40\ N}{88\ kg}\\\\a=0.45\ m/s^2

So, the required acceleration is 0.45 m/s².

Anuja is holding a stuffed dog, with a mass of 0.30 kg, when Derek decides that he wants it and tries to pull it away from Abuja
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

a = 3.33 m/s²

Explanation:

The horizontal acceleration of the dog can be found by using Newton's Second Law of Motion as follows:

F = ma

where,

F = Unbalanced force applied on the dog = 11 N - 10 N = 1 N

m = mass of the dog = 0.3 kg

a = horizontal acceleration of dog = ?

Therefore,

1 N = 0.3 kg(a)

a = 1 N/0.3 kg

<u>a = 3.33 m/s²</u>
