How could you work out the direction that the motor will turn

Electric motors use the motor effect. A simple electric motor can be built using a coil of wire that is free to rotate between two opposite magnetic poles. When an electric current flows through the coil, the coil experiences a force and moves. One side moves up and the other side moves down. The direction of the current must be reversed every half turn, otherwise the coil comes to a halt again. This is achieved using a conducting ring split in two, called a split ring or ‘commutator’.

If you mean work out as in using calculations, I don't know how to help you. But there is a way to find out, using Fleming's left hand rule. I can't define it properly, and I don't want to copy-paste from another site, so I strongly recommend that you look it up. Try google, or more specific, BBC GCSE bitesize.

Hope this helps!

Consider the concepts of kinetic energy (KE) and gravitational potential energy (GPE) as you complete these questions. A ball is

Lena [83]

Answer:

When the ball is held motionless above the floor, the ball possesses only GPE energy.If the ball is dropped, its GPE energy decreases as it falls.If the ball is dropped, its KE energy increases as it falls.

Explanation:

If the ball is held motionless, then its kinetic energy is equal to zero, since kinetic energy depends on the velocity. And the ball is held above the ground, which means it possesses gravitational potential energy.

If the ball is dropped, its height will decrease, therefore its gravitational potential energy will decrease. Along the way, the ball will be in free fall, and therefore its velocity will increase, hence its kinetic energy.
