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.

Mary starts at the edge of a circular platform that is slowly rotating on a frictionless axle. She then walks towards the opposi

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The motion of Mary along the circular path is a centripetal.

As Mary moves from one edge of the circular platform to the other edge, she is covering a distance which is the radius of the circular path at a velocity.

According to the relationship

w = v/r where

w is the angular velocity

r is the radius

v is the linear velocity

Initially, before Mary starts, her linear speed is zero and her angular velocity is also zero. As she move towards the opposite edge, she is covering a distance of radius r. According to the formula, increase in radius will leads to decrease in her angular velocity and vice versa. As Mary starts moving towards the centre of the circular path, her angular velocity increases, at the centre of the platform, her angular velocity is at maximum at this point. As she moves further from the center to the other edge, her angular velocity decreases due to increase in distance covered across the circular path.

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

962291.57928 m²

Explanation:

$P_r$ = Pressure = $2\dfrac{I}{c}$ (full reflection)

I = Intensity = $\dfrac{P}{A}=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}$

P = Power = $3.9\times 10^{26}\ W$

c = Speed of light = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

M = Mass of Sun = $1.99\times 10^{30}\ kg$

m = Mass of ship = 1500 kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Force of radiation is given by

$F_r=P_rA\\\Rightarrow F_r=2\dfrac{I}{c}\times A\\\Rightarrow F_r=2\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2c} A$

This force will balance the gravitational force as stated in the question

$\dfrac{GMm}{r^2}=2\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2c} A\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{4\pi cGMm}{2P}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{4\times \pi\times 3\times 10^8\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}\times 1500}{2\times 3.9\times 10^{26}}\\\Rightarrow A=962291.57928\ m^2$

The area of the must be 962291.57928 m²
