What is an electric motor? Explain its operation.

7 0

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.

Ann (mass 50 kg) is standing at the left end of a 15-m-long, 500 kg cart that has frictionless wheels and rolls on a frictionles

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

13.5 m

Explanation:

M = Mass of cart = 500 kg

m = Ann's mass = 50 kg

$v_m$ = Velocity of Ann relative to cart = 5 m/s

$v_M$ = Velocity of Cart relative to Ann

As the linear momentum of the system is conserved

$Mv_M+mv_m=0\\\Rightarrow v_M=-\frac{mv_m}{M}\\\Rightarrow v_M=-\frac{50\times 5}{500}\\\Rightarrow v_M=-0.5\ m/s$

Time taken to reach the right end by Ann

$Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}\\\Rightarrow Time=\frac{15}{5}=3\ s$

Distance the cart will move in the 3 seconds

$Distance=Speed\times Time\\\Rightarrow Distance=-0.5\times 3=-1.5\ m$

The negative sign indicates opposite direction

Movement of Ann will be the sum of the distances

$15+(-1.5)=13.5\ m$

The net movement of Ann is 13.5 m

You want to make a ride so you do not want to exceed 1.1g’s, if the radius of the turns are 10m, then what is the maximum speed

Citrus2011 [14]

The maximum speed is 10.4 m/s

Explanation:

For a body in uniform circular motion, the centripetal acceleration is given by:

$a=\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

v is the linear speed

r is the radius of the circular path

In this problem, we have the following data:

- The maximum centripetal acceleration must be

$a=1.1 g$

where $g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity. Substituting,

$a=(1.1)(9.8)=10.8 m/s^2$

- The radius of the turn is

r = 10 m

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to solve for v, to find the maximum speed the ride can go at:

$v=\sqrt{ar}=\sqrt{(10.8)(10)}=10.4 m/s$

What is the definition of force according to Newton's first law of motion?

11111nata11111 [884]

Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force
