The end that is marked with ’N’ will point to the Arctic. The ‘S’ end will point toward the Antarctic. A bar magnet is ‘just’ a big heavy compass needle. The ‘N’ and ‘S’ marking are made to help travelers find their way around the globe.

Yes, it IS confusing to have the ’N’ end of a compass point toward the north axis of the earth. These conventions were well in place LONG before anyone understood that ‘Opposites Attract’. But now that we DO know that ‘Opposites Attract’ we are left with the unfortunate reality of compasses, bar magnets and the earth. There are gazillions of magnets and only one earth! So the ‘convention’ has been made that the magnets are labeled correctly! This means (unfortunately) that the Arctic area of the globe is actually the south end of the earthly magnet. The earth is a giant (but very weak) electromagnetic and the lines of the magnetic field point to the Arctic Regions which is why all out magnets point that way. The magnetic field line dive INTO the earth in the Arctic Regions and OUT of the earth in the Antarctic regions.

I haven’t used the word ‘pole’ here, because magnetic poles don’t actually exist (as far as we know). Every magnet is actually an electromagnetic with electrical charges in motion creating the magnetic field.

Sarah weighs 500 newtons. She climbs a set of stairs 6 meters high. How much work does she do? 83 J Work equals force times dist
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

<em>Answer: Work equals force times distance. 3,000 J</em>

Explanation:

Work Done By A Force

When some force \vec F is applied and a displacement \vec r is achieved, the work done by the force is given by

W=\vec F \cdot \vec r

Note that the work is a scalar magnitude as the result of the dot-product of two vectors. If the force and the displacement are parallel, then the vectors can be replaced as its magnitudes F,x and the work is

W=F.x

The dot product becomes a simple arithmetic product, i.e force times distance.

Sara weighs 500 Nw and she climbs up a 6 meter set of stairs. She needs to lift her weight up, so the force is the weight and the distance is the height of the stairs, thus

W=500\ Nw.\ 6\ m=3,000\ Joule

Answer: Work equals force times distance. 3,000 J

A grating has 320 lines/mm. How many orders of the visible wavelength 551 nm can it produce in addition to the m = 0 order
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

Given that

dsinθ = mλ,

now, if sinθ = 1, then

m = d / λ, where

m = order of interference

d = distance between the slits

λ = wavelength of light

this is the formula we would use to solve the question

d = 1 / 320 lines/mm

d = 1 / 320*10^3

d = 3.125*10^-6 m

At λ = 551 nm, we have

m = 3.125*10^-6 / 551*10^-9

m = 5.67

5.67 ~ 6

thus, we can say that the orders of visible wavelength 551 nm, can produce is 6

A mass m hangs from string wrapped around a pulley of radius R. The pulley has a moment of inertia I, and its pivot is frictionl
Semmy [17]

Answer:B

Explanation:

Given

radius of Pulley is r

Pulley has a moment of inertia is I

Suppose mass is falling with an acceleration a and T be the Tension in string

mg-T=ma

T=m(g-a)

And I\times \alpha =T\times R

I\times \frac{a}{R}=T\times R

I\times \frac{a}{R}=m(g-a)\times R

I=\frac{mR^2(g-a)}{a}

and Torque is I\alpha

\tau =\frac{mR^2(g-a)}{a}\times \alpha

\tau =\frac{mR^2(g-a)}{a}\times \frac{a}{R}

\tau =mR(g-a)

Which is less than mgR
