For orbits to happen in space there need to be two forces: gravity and forward velocity. The gravity keeps the object from flying into space, while the velocity keeps the object from crashing into the planet.

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.

An athlete produced 840 watts of power in 0.6 seconds. How much work did this individual perform during the exercise
Veseljchak [2.6K]

An athlete produced 840 watts of power in 0.6 seconds. And will produce 504 joule of work did this individual perform during the exercise.

<u>Solution:</u>

we know that power is the work done completed in a given interval of time.

Power = \frac{work}{time}

also, Work = Power × Time

Work = 840 × 0.6 = 504 joule

What is Power?

  • The quantity of work that can be accomplished in a certain amount of time is measured by power.
  • Power is expressed in joules per second (J/s) this is because work is denoted by the symbol J and time by the symbol s.
  • This is the watt, which is also known as the power unit in SI (W). One joule of labor per second is equal to one watt.
  • The number of watts that a device uses is indicated on labels for lightbulbs and other small appliances like microwaves.
  • A force must be applied in order for work to be completed, and there must also be motion or displacement in the force's direction.
  • The amount of force multiplied by the distance moved in the force's direction is known as the work done by a force acting on an item. Work has no direction and only magnitude. Work is a scalar quantity as a result.

Gravity is a force that every mass exerts on every other mass. When you jump up in the air, not only does the Earth exert a grav
sesenic [268]

Answer:

C. Your mass is very small compared to Earth's mass.

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (action force) on an object B, object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction force) on object A".

If we apply this law to the situation described in the problem, we see that:

- The action force is the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on you

- The reaction force is the gravitational force exerted by you on the Earth

And according to the 3rd law, the magnitude of the two forces is equal:

F_1 = F_2 (1)

We also know that, according to Newton's second law of motion, the force on an object is equal to the product between its mass (m) and its acceleration (a):

F=ma

So we can rewrite (1) as

ma = MA

where

m is the your mass

a is your acceleration

M is the Earth's mass

A is the Earth's acceleration

For the term on the left, we see that m is small, so a is larger (therefore, your acceleration is visible). However, for the term on the right, we see that the mass of the Earth is very large (M is very large), therefore, A is very small, which means that the acceleration of the Earth is almost negligible because the Earth's mass is very large.

Letting D D represent the maximum displacement, the extremes of the block's motion are at position A, where x = − D x=−D, and at
Ksju [112]

Answer:

The answer is at x = 0, which represents position B

Explanation:

The full question is:

"A block is attached to a horizontal spring and set in a

simple harmonic motion, as shown from above in the figure. When the spring is relaxed, the block is a position B, where the displacement x from the equilibrium position is 0. Letting D represent the maximum displacement, the extremes of the block's motion are at position A, where x= -D, and at position C, where x= D.

At what point in the motion is the speed of the block at its maximum?"

And you can see the figure on the attached file.

Simple Harmonic motion equations

We can start from the equation that describes the position that is

x(t)=D \sin\left(\omega t)

Here D stands for the amplitude which is the maximum displacement, and \omega is the angular velocity, thus we can find the derivative to find the velocity equation, so we get

v(t)=D \omega \cos (\omega t)

And we can find the derivative again to find the acceleration.

a(t) = -D\omega^2 \sin (\omega t)

Maximum speed

We reach the maximum speed when the acceleration equation is equal to 0,

a(t) =0\\-D\omega^2 \sin (\omega t)=0

Thus it happens when

\sin (\omega t)=0

So if we replace that on the position equation we get

x(t)=D \sin(\omega t) \\x(t)=D(0)\\x(t)=0

Thus the position where the speed of the block is at at its maximum is when it is going back to the origin, that is x = 0, so point b.
