How does a solenoid convert energy from one form to another?​

Physics
1 answer:
SIZIF [17.4K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A solenoid is a device comprised of a coil of wire, the housing and a moveable plunger (armature). When an electrical current is introduced, a magnetic field forms around the coil which draws the plunger in. More simply, a solenoid converts electrical energy into mechanical work.

Explanation:

The coil is made of many turns of tightly wound copper wire. When an electrical current flows through this wire, a strong magnetic field/flux is created.

The housing, usually made of iron or steel, surrounds the coil concentrating the magnetic field generated by the coil.

The plunger is attracted to the stop through the concentration of the magnetic field providing the mechanical force to do work.

The law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of interacting objects does not _______. This means the total
Nata [24]

Explanation:

Law of conservation of momentum states that in an isolated system when two objects collide with each other then total momentum before and after the collision is equal.

Thus, we can conclude that the law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of interacting objects does not change. This means the total momentum before a collision or explosion is equal to the to momentum after a collision or explosion.

Jenny and Betty are having a great time at Busch Gardens riding the Ubanga Banga bumper cars. Jenny, who is traveling southward
Alex777 [14]

Jenny is traveling southward.  In order to stop, she needs a northward acceleration.


A better way to say it:

Jenny is traveling southward in her bumper car, so the direction of her velocity is south.  In order to reduce her velocity to zero, a velocity of equal magnitude but directed north must be added to it.  Then the change in velocity is positive northward, and the change in velocity per unit time is acceleration.

11. Scientists put a sample of water into a sealed tank. Water can be a solid, liquid, or gas. At first, the water was a liquid.
leva [86]

Answer:

c . slower and started moving in place.

Explanation:

Matter can exist generally in three phases, as a solid, liquid or gas. But it can be transformed from one phase to another by the removal or application of heat energy.

The water was initially in a liquid form in the sealed tank until energy was transferred out of the substance. Thus, this causes a change of state in which the water turns to a solid. Whereby during the process, the molecules of the water moved slowly until they are fixed at a point, and vibrates individually at their individual point.

Therefore the molecules of water moved slower and stated moving in place (i.e vibrating at a point). The water turns to an ice.

Define second class lever​
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Please find detailed explanation of second class levers below

Explanation:

Levers are one of the classes of machine that possesses three levels namely: first class, second class and third claas. A second class lever is the level of levers in which the load (L) is in between the pivot (F) and the effort (E).

Examples of second class levers include; wheelbarrow, a bottle opener etc. In the bottle opener for example, the bottle lid (load) is in between the pivot of the opener and the hand opening it (effort).
