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.

A disk with radius R and uniform positive charge density s lies horizontally on a tabletop. A small plastic sphere with mass M a

Yanka [14]

Answer:

a. F = Qs/2ε₀[1 - z/√(z² + R²)] b. h = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)R/√[1 - (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²]

Explanation:

a. What is the magnitude of the net upward force on the sphere as a function of the height z above the disk?

The electric field due to a charged disk with surface charge density s and radius R at a distance z above the center of the disk is given by

E = s/2ε₀[1 - z/√(z² + R²)]

So, the net force on the small plastic sphere of mass M and charge Q is

F = QE

F = Qs/2ε₀[1 - z/√(z² + R²)]

b. At what height h does the sphere hover?

The sphere hovers at height z = h when the electric force equals the weight of the sphere.

So, F = mg

Qs/2ε₀[1 - z/√(z² + R²)] = mg

when z = h, we have

Qs/2ε₀[1 - h/√(h² + R²)] = mg

[1 - h/√(h² + R²)] = 2mgε₀/Qs

h/√(h² + R²) = 1 - 2mgε₀/Qs

squaring both sides, we have

[h/√(h² + R²)]² = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²

h²/(h² + R²) = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²

cross-multiplying, we have

h² = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²(h² + R²)

expanding the bracket, we have

h² = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²h² + (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²R²

collecting like terms, we have

h² - (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²h² = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²R²

Factorizing, we have

[1 - (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²]h² = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²R²

So, h² = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²R²/[1 - (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²]

taking square-root of both sides, we have

√h² = √[(1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²R²/[1 - (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²]]

h = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)R/√[1 - (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²]

Which pair does NOT have an electric force between them?.

viva [34]

Two neutral objects will not have any electric force of attraction or repulsion between them.

<h3>What is the condition for the electric force between two objects?</h3>

As we know from the electrostatics that whenever there are two charges having a positive charge on one and a negative on the other will attract each other

similarly, if they are having like charges which are both of them having positive or both of them having a negative charge then there will be a force of repulsion between them.

But if both of them or even one of them is neutral then there will not be any electric force between them.

Thus neutral objects will not have any electric force of attraction or repulsion between them.

A block of wood is 4 cm wide, 5 cm long, and 10 cm high. It weighs 100 grams. Calculate its volume. Calculate its density. Will

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

$V=200cm^3\\\\\rho =0.500g/cm^3$

It will float.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, given the width, length and height, we can compute the volume as follows:

$V=W*L*H\\\\V=4cm*5cm*10cm\\\\V=200cm^3$

Moreover, since the density is computed via the division of the mass by the volume:

$\rho =\frac{m}{V}$

We obtain:

$\rho =\frac{100g}{200cm^3} \\\\\rho =0.500g/cm^3$

In such a way, since the solid has a lower density than the water, we infer it will float.

Best regards.
