It depends on the type of motor.

An electrical motor can be run in both directions simply by changing the polarity of the electricity being used to power the motor.

A combustion motor (like in a car) would have to be built specificly to run in both directions. Most combustion motors are designed to run in one direction and changing that direction would require changing the firing pattern of the cylinders and updating the timing mechanism to account for the motor spinning the other way.

Plus, the device being powered by the motor would have to support bring powered in either direction.

Can a nerve fibre and nerve both carry sensory and motor impulse Why?

Yes, a nerve fiber can carry both sensory and motor impulses, depending on the type of nerve. A mixed nerve contains both sensory (afferent) and motor (efferent) fibers, allowing it to transmit signals in both directions: sensory information from the body to the central nervous system and motor commands from the central nervous system to the muscles. However, individual nerve fibers typically specialize in either sensory or motor functions.


Why do mile markers run from east to west and not both ways?

Mile markers on highways typically run from east to west to provide consistency in navigation and directions. This standardized approach helps drivers easily track their progress and understand their position on the road. Running mile markers in both directions may cause confusion and complicate navigation.

Your radiator fan does not come on on a 1995 Pontiac Bonneville?

The radiator fan sensor switch or the radiator fan motor are at fault (maybe even both). Wire the fan motor direct to see if it will run, if it does, replace the sensor switch. If the fan motor doesn't run, replace the fan motor before you buy a new sensor. If after replacing the fan motor, the fan still doesn't run, then replace the sensor.
