How do generator convert mechanical energy to electrical energy?
Yes,the mechanical energy of steam can turn the shaft of a generator thru the steam turbine in which the steam acts on its blade to produce rotational motion to transform mechanical energy. Yes, the mechanical energy of steam can turn the shaft of a generator thru steam turbine as the driver, because the steam will acts on the tubine blade to produce rotational motion to transform mechanical energy and elctrical energy as well.
What are the designations of a three-prong plug?
On a three prong plug there will be a neutral blade, a "hot" blade and a ground blade. The neutral blade is wider that the "hot" blade. In North America the ground blade is "U" shaped.
Which blade is the longest in a 3 pin plug?
The ground blade is the longest in a three blade plug.
When did Thunder Blade happen?
Thunder Blade happened in 1987.
What part of a plant is the blade?
blade is a term that refers to the leaves - particularly grasses
What type of lever are knives?
The knife is a third class lever. The pressure is applied to the other end of the handle nearest to the blade and the fulcrum is at the end of the handle nearest to the wrist.
Why would sharpening a knife or ax blade improve its mechanical advantage?
more pressure on a smaller surface area.
Knife is what classification of levers?
A knife can be classified as a Class 1 lever. The classification of levers is based on the relative positions of the effort (force applied), the fulcrum (pivot point), and the load (resistance or object being moved). In a Class 1 lever: Fulcrum (F): The fulcrum is located between the effort and the load. Effort (E): The effort is applied on one side of the fulcrum. Load (L): The load is on the other side of the fulcrum. In the case of a knife: Fulcrum (F): The point where the knife pivots, usually where the handle meets the blade. Effort (E): The force applied by the user to cut or slice through the food. Load (L): The resistance or the material being cut, such as vegetables, meat, or other food items. When you use a knife, you apply force (effort) on the handle, causing the blade to pivot around the fulcrum and exerting force on the material being cut (load). Class 1 levers are characterized by their balanced arrangement, where the effort and load are on opposite sides of the fulcrum.
What are the parts of hacksaw?
The handle, the bow and the blade.
What simple machine is a cutting plier?
Tin snips are similar to scissors - they are a combination of two wedges (the blades) and two levers (each blade and the handle it connects to) joined at a fulcrum (the hinge.)There are many types of simple machines. Tin snips would be a first class lever, as the fulcrum(pivot) is in the middle.
Is windmill a lever?
Technically, it is. Each blade is a lever, with the axle being the fulcrum of each lever.
What is a gravity knife?
The blade of a gravity knife is contained within the handle of the knife. It requires a spinning motion or gravity for the blade to come out of the handle.
How do you change a blade on a coping saw?
Unscrew the handle to relive the tension on the saw. Remove the old blade, hook the new blade over the pins on the saw and tighten the handle back up.
What are the components of a vegetable peeler?
A handle with a blade in it.
What is a explanation about lever and wedge to make scissors?
Scissors work as both levers and wedges. The lever part of the scissors is the handle being the input force (Fin), and the blade being the output force (Fout). The middle of the scissors that only turns and moves the smallest distance is the fulcrum. The fulcrum is what make the scissors a lever by having a "jack" for the scissors to sit on while the blade does all the cutting. The way to see if the lever is efficient or inefficient, you calculate the mechanical advantage of the lever. Mechanical advantage is calculating output force (Fout) by the input force (Fin) in Newtons. In the end. since you are dividing two numbers using the same unit (Newtons) the units cancel each other out. Therefore, leaving you with a number with no units of measurement to go with the final quotient. E.G MA= Fout/Fin = 3N/1N = 3 Scissors can also be used as a wedge. You see, (a) wedge(s) is/are (an) object(s) that split(s) (an)other object(s) apart. Scissors work as a wedge because the blades push whatever you are cutting apart from each other. Finally, making a pair of scissors a wedge and a lever.
What are the Parts of a bow saw?
handle, blade and iron frameANS 2 - There are some really nice ones now. My current favorite is a German one that has a tubular steel frame, really light weight and keeps the blade very tight due to it's shape. -See the current Lee Valley catalogue.
What large stone blade is tied to a wooden handle?
A stone age axe blade.
