An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

Electric motors work on the principal of the interaction between magnetic field electr-magnetism. A loop which is carrying the current is placed in a magnetic field. The loop will experience a torque. The torque starts rotating the coil and the propellers start to rotate when the current passes through the loop.

Answer:

(Straight out of Physics textbook)

Explanation:

An electric motor is a slightly modified galvanometer. An electric motor current changes direction every time the coil makes a half revolution. Electric motors have greatly impacted the way of life. It made it possible to replace enormous human and animal toil by electric power all over the world.

How do determine which is Y2, Y1, X2, and X1 on a graph. <br><br> And how do find rise over run.
fredd [130]
One point will be X1,Y1 and the other will be X2,Y2. It does not matter which is which except that X1 and Y1 have to be the same point and X2 and Y2 have to be the same point. For example, let's say you were given (2,3) and (6,8). No matter which point is X1,Y1 and the other is X2,Y2, the slope will still be 5/4. 

The rise is the change in y from one point to the other. The run would be the change in x from one point to the other.

The Z0 boson, discovered in 1985, is the mediator of the weak nuclear force, and it typically decays very quickly. Its average r
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The lifetime of the particle is  \Delta  t  =  2.6*10^{-25} \ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The average rest energy is E =  91.19 \ GeV =  91.19GeV  *    \frac{1.60 *10^{-10} J }{1GeV} = 1.46 *10^{-8}J

    The intrinsic width is  \Delta E  =2.5eV  = 2.5GeV   *  \frac{1.60 *10^{-10}J  }{1GeV}  =  4*10^{-10} J

The lifetime is mathematically represented as

     \Delta  t  =  \frac{h}{\Delta E}

Where h is the Planck's constant with a value of  1.055*10^{-34} \ J\cdot s  

substituting values

    \Delta  t  =  \frac{1.055*10^{-34}}{4 *10^{-10}}

     \Delta  t  =  2.6*10^{-25} \ s

One hundred jumping beans are placed along the center line of a gymnasium floor at six-inch intervals. Twelve hours later, the d
stira [4]

Answer:

a) Diffusion  coefficient, D = 1.5 in/hr

b) Mean jump frequency, f = 0.0833 Hz

Explanation:

a) The relationship between the diffusion coefficient, time and mean displacement and can be given by the expression:

^{2} = 2Dt..........(1)

Where <r> = mean displacement

D = Diffusion coefficient

t = time = 12 hrs

sum of the squares of the distance divided by 100 is 36 in2.

<r>²= 36 in²

Substituting these values into equation (1) above

36 = 2 * D *12\\36 = 24 D\\D = 36/24\\D = 1.5 in/hr

b) Mean jumping distance, <r> = 0.1 inches

Applying equation (1) again

Where D = 1.5 in/hr

^{2} = 2Dt

0.1^{2}  = 2 * 1.5t\\0.01 = 3t\\t = 0.01/3\\t = 0.0033 hrs\\t = 0.0033 * 3600\\t = 12 seconds

The mean jump frequency, f = 1/t

f = 1/12

f = 0.0833 Hz

Objects in the same container eventually reach the same temperature. When you go into a room and touch a piece of metal in that
valkas [14]

Answer:

Metals are the good conductors of heat while plastic is a non metal and is not good in conductivity.

Explanation:

From the molecular point of view we usually define conductivity in terms of free electrons which are in abundance in metal and electrons do transfer heat. So when you touch a piece of metal these free electron of metal take that heat from your hand and transfer to the cooler part. "Flow of heat from hotter to colder part". That is the reason it feels colder upon touching the piece of metal. However Plastics do not have this characteristic of conduction of heat.
