What makes a electric car move?
The electric car moves because the batteries power the motor. The motor then turns the electricity into mechanical energy. The mechanical energy is then transfered to the wheels through the drive train.
How fast can an electric motor 350W go?
An electric motor cannot move. It can power something else that does move but you fail to list what it is installed in.
Is a power supply needed to run an electric motor?
Yes. To make something move, you have to add energy. An electric motor won't turn by itself.
What makes electric charges move through wires in an electric circuit?
A voltage.
What type of motor has a stator?
An electric motor has a stator and a rotor. The stator does not move. The rotor rotates inside the stator.
What causes the axle to spin in an electric motor?
Switching the field voltage to the coils forces the magnets to move.
What energy conversions occur for an electric motor?
It helps to think about the purpose of an electric motor. It is designed to move things, so it produces mechanical energy. As the name suggests, such a motor gets its energy from electrical energy.
Does an electric motor produce kinetic energy?
I would say maybe because it does move
Explain how each kind of joint makes bones move?
gtg
Does toothpaste work as a motor for a raft?
yes, it does. it makes the raft move very slowly but it is still a motor
An electric motor converts electrical energy to potential energy?
They don't. An electric motor is designed to convert electrical energy to kinetic energy, not the other way round. A device that converts kinetic energy to electrical energy is called a generator or a dynamo. Sometimes the same device can do both things (convert in both directions), but since the device is especially optimized for one function, it may not be very good at the other one.
What does a motorbike engine do?
what the motor bike engine does is that it pumps fuel in to a small tank in the engine then the battery of the motor bike gives a little electric shock so it makes little explosions the make the pisten move and you can hear it to when the engin pops and that conects to the wheel.
