Why does the sprinkler turn only when the water is on and turns in the direction opposite that of the water?
Newton's third law of motion. The turning of the sprinkler head is the equal and opposite reaction to the water leaving the sprinkler nozzles. The water goes out and the sprinkler nozzle is pushed backward, turning it in a circle because the arm is attached to the middle of the sprinkler. The higher the water flow, the faster the sprinkler spins.
How is a potter throwing clay an example of the force of friction at work?
Potters throwing clay on a potter's wheel use the forces of physics to shape the clay as it spins.
How does the string of a yo-yo get the yo-yo spinning?
The electric friction between molecules and poly ions. It spins on the string because of a force which is studied in physics.
Does the inner tub of a washing machine spins?
Yes, the inner tub agitates and spins.
Serber potential in nuclear physics?
Serber potentia is A potential between nucleons, equal to ½(1 + M)V(r), where V(r) is a function of the distance between the nucleons, and M is an operator which exchanges the spatial coordinates of the particles but not their spins (corresponding to the Majorana force).

A lawn sprinkler spins 360 degrees and has a 4-foot spray Find the area od lawn the sprinkler will water?
It's the area of a circle, which is (pi) x radius squared That makes 50.265 square feet.
Electrons can occupy the same orbital if they have opposite what?
The requirement ("Pauli Exclusion Principle") is that they must be different in at least one of their properties ("quantum numbers").
What states that every set of two electrons in an electron level will have opposite spins?
Pauli exclusion principle
Physics. A CD-ROM drive in a computer spins the 12--diameter disks at 9400 what is the disks period?
6.4 * 10^-3sec
Which scientist said an orbital must have opposite spins?
I believe no scientist said exactly this. It is the (two) electrons in the same orbital that must have opposite spins. And the scientist who said that was Wolfgang Pauli in 1925. (Pauli exclusion principle)
What airodynamic principle?
Aerodynamic principles cover altitude, center of gravity, aircraft balance, impact of attitude change as well as stalls and spins.
Which statement best explains why Lyra is visible to an observer in New York State at midnight in July but not visible at midnight in December?
lyra spins on it's axis

How propellers work in engineering?
The physics concepts of a propeller is that a props generate the thrust force that pulls a machine into the air. It also has aerodynamic properties that spins the propeller.?æ?æ
Working principle of alternator?
The working principle of an alternator is like that of a small turbine. The alternator spins and a series of copper wires and graphite brushes inside the alternator produce electricity. That electricity is then transferred to the battery to keep it charged enough to run all of the electric parts on the vehicle.
