How can we tell when forces are acting on an object (science)

Physics

If an object's speed changes, or if it changes the direction it's moving in,
then there must be forces acting on it. There is no other way for any of
these things to happen.

Once in a while, there may be <em><u>a group</u></em> of forces (two or more) acting on
an object, and the group of forces may turn out to be "balanced".  When
that happens, the object's speed will remain constant, and ... if the speed
is not zero ... it will continue moving in a straight line.  In that case, it's not
possible to tell by looking at it whether there are any forces acting on it.

Does passing a magnet through a coil of wire break off it’s electric current
hichkok12 [17]
A magnetic field is actually generated by a moving current (or moving electric charge specifically). The magnetic field generated by a moving current can be found by using the right hand rule, point your right thumb in the direction of current flow, then the wrap of your fingers will tell you what direction the magnetic field is. In the case of current traveling up a wire, the magnetic field generated will encircle the wire. Similarly electromagnets work by having a wire coil, and causing current to spin in a circle, generating a magnetic field perpendicular to the current flow (again right hand rule).

So if you were to take a permenant magnet and cut a hole in it then string a straight wire through it... my guess is nothing too interesting would happen. The two different magnetic fields might ineteract in a peculiar way, but nothing too fascinating, perhaps if you give me more context as to what you might think would happen or what made you come up with this question I could help.

I believe this is electron degeneracy, because the star is essentially having too many reactions too fast and collapses in on itself eventually.

If a force of 32000N exerted pressure of 160N/m² , find the area on which the force acts.​
Alex17521 [72]

Answer: 200m^2

Explanation:

160N=32000N/x

x*160N=32000

x=200m^2
