Physics
1 answer:
Degger [83]3 years ago
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 rocket weighs 9800N (opposing force) what is it mass? What netforce moves the rocket? What applied force gives it a vertical a
Slav-nsk [51]

For the first part of this question, consider that "weight" can be described as mass x acceleration of gravity. Weight is expressed in Newtons. To solve for mass in this case, simply divide 9800N by 9.8m/s^2 (Earth's gravitational acceleration). This will give you a mass of 1000 kg. This mass is moved due to the net force supplied by the normal force from the rocket "pushing" off of Earth.

For the second part, we will use the equation F = ma, which is Newton's second law. For this, we know the m, or mass, is 1000 kg. Also, we know the a, or acceleration, will be 4 m/s^2. To solve for force, we will multiply both of these values. This gives a force of 4000 N. I hope this clears things up!

A sprinter completes a 400m race (one lap around the track). Mr Borst thinks the magnitudes of her distance and displacement are
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Displacement is how far between your initial and finishing position.

If one lap around the track is 400 m and the sprinter ran 1 lap around the track. Then the sprinter's distance is 400 m and their displacement is 0 m

If the sprinter ran 400 m in a straight line however, then it would be equal.

But since the sprinter ran 1 lap around there is no displacement.

I hope this helped you...

Which of these is a possible disadvantage of using wind as a source of
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

D. Wind turbines take up a lot of space.

Explanation:

In wind turbines the kinetic energy received by the air molecules is converted into electrical energy by the use of turbines

So here in order to get more kinetic energy from air we need more crossectional area of the wind mill to interact with the air

So here we need the large size of turbines

so this is the main disadvantage of the wind turbines because it needs large area to install the whole setup also the efficiency of this turbine is small so it needs large number of wind mills to setup good output power

so correct answer will be

D. Wind turbines take up a lot of space.
