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.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer: 12Mg/h

Explanation:

Let the spring is compressed by a distance x,before the lift stops,then

Mg(h+x)= 1/2 kx^2 ............... 1

Kx - Mg = M ( 5g ) ............ 2

Make x the subject in equation 2

Kx = 5Mg + Mg

Kx = 6Mg

x = 6Mg/k ............ 3

Put equation 3 into 1

Mg ( h + x ) = 1/2 kx^2

Mgh + Mgx = 1/2kx^2

Mgh + Mg × 6Mg/k = 1/2k × ( 6Mg/k )^2

Mgh + Mg× 6Mg/k = 1/2k 36M^2g^2/ k^2

h =18Mg/k - 6Mg/h

K = 12Mg/h

An 89 kg man drops from rest on a diving board −3.1 m above the surface of the water and comes to rest 0.5 s after reaching the
OLga [1]

To solve this problem we will use the linear motion kinematic equations, for which the change of speed squared with the acceleration and the change of position. The acceleration in this case will be the same given by gravity, so our values would be given as,

m= 89 kg\\x = 3.1 m\\t = 0.5s\\a = g = 9.8m/s^2

Through the aforementioned formula we will have to

v_f^2-v_i^2 = 2ax

The particulate part of the rest, so the final speed would be

v_f^2 = 2gx

v_f=\sqrt{2(9.8)(3.1)}

v_f = 7.79m/s

Now from Newton's second law we know that

F = ma

Here,

m = mass

a = acceleration, which can also be written as a function of velocity and time, then

F = m\frac{dv}{dt}

Replacing we have that,

F = (89)\frac{7.79}{0.5}

F = 1386.62N

Therefore the force that the water exert on the man is 1386.62

A sound has a sound level of 30 dB. Its intensity is what multiple of the standard reference level for intensities?
arsen [322]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

1000th multiple of the standard reference level for intensities.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The sound intensity level (β), measured in decibels, of a sound with an intensity of I is defined as follows;

β = 10 log (I / I₀)       --------------------(i)

Where;

I₀ = reference intensity

Given from the question;

β = sound level = 30dB

Substitute this value into equation (i) as follows;

30 = 10 log (I / I₀)

Divide both sides by 3;

3 = log (I / I₀)

Take antilog of both sides;

10^(3) = (I / I₀)

1000 = I / I₀

Solve for I;

I = 1000I₀

Therefore the intensity of the sound is 1000 times the standard reference level for intensities (I₀)

An object is dropped from a height of 25 meters. At what velocity will it hit the ground?
Goryan [66]
You can use Vf^2-Vi^2 = 2ax

Vf^2 - 0 = 2(9.81)(25)

Or you can use energy

mgh = 1/2mv^2

2gh =v^2

Same thing
