ANSWER PLS!! In two to three sentences, differentiate between a motor and a generator

1 answer:

8 0

-- A motor and a generator both do a transformation between electrical energy and some other form of energy, but they do it in opposite directions.

-- A motor takes electrical energy and transforms it into mechanical energy, which can then be used to run mechanical things like cars or wheat grinders.

-- A generator takes mechanical energy ... like from a steam turbine or a windmill or a water wheel ... and transforms it into electrical energy, which can then be shipped over long distances through wires, and used to run motors or other electrical things.

An ion with charge of Q = +3.2 x 10-19 C is in a region where a uniform electric field of magnitude E = 5.0 X 105 V/m is perpend

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

Q = +3.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

E = 5.0 X 10⁵ V/m

B = 0.80 T

ion's acceleration is zero

when acceleration is zero the magnitude of both the forces becomes equal.

q E = q V B

v = $\dfrac{E}{B}$

v= $\dfrac{5 \times 10^5}{0.80}$

v = 6.25 × 10⁵ m/s ≈ 6.3 × 10⁵ m/s

hence, the correct answer is option C

On Earth, a brick has a mass of 10 kg and a weight of 5 lbs. What predictions could we make about the mass and weight of the bri

belka [17]

Answer:

Mass remains constant but weight reduces

Explanation:

Mass is the amount of matter in an object so whether on moon or any other planet, it does not change despite the changes in acceleration.

Weight is a product of mass and acceleration due to gravity, expressed as W=mg where m is the mass, W is weight and g is acceleration. From the above formula, it is evident that when you decrease g, then W also decreases while m is constant. Similarly, when m is constant and g is increased then W also increases.

Therefore, for this case, since g decreases, the weight decreases but mass remains constant.

Three 7 0hm resistors are connected in series across a 10 V battery. What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit?

Tomtit [17]

Given

Three 7 ohm resistor are in series.

The battery is V=10V

To find

The equivalent resistance

Explanation

When the resistance are in series then the resistance are added to find its equivalent.

Thus the equivalent resistance is:

$R=7+7+7=21\Omega$

Conclusion

The equivalent resistance is 21 ohm

If you know the amount of air pressure exerted on a tabletop, how can you calculate the force exerted on the tabletop? Multiply

babymother [125]

Answer:

Multiply the air pressure by the area of the tabletop.

Explanation:

The relationship between pressure, force and area is given by:

$p=\frac{F}{A}$

where in this case, p is the air pressure, F is the force exerted and A the area of the tabletop. By re-arranging the equation, we can solve for F, the force exerted:

$p=\frac{F}{A}\\p\cdot A=\frac{F}{A}\cdot A\\pA=F$

So, the correct answer is:

The force exerted on the tabletop can be found by multiplying the air pressure by the area of the tabletop.
