Because the electromagnets can pick up magnetic material and move it around, hope this helps

Answer:

To separate the magnetic substance from the scrap.

Explanation:

The electromagnets are the magnets which shows magnetic properties when the electric current pass through them.

The magnetic substances are attracted towards the electromagnet from the scrap.

We can increase or decrease the strength of electromagnet by increasing or decreasing the strength of electric current pass through it.

You hang a heavy ball with a mass of 30 kg from a tungsten rod 2.8 m long by 1.5 mm by 2.6 mm. You measure the stretch of the ro

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Young's modulus (Y) = 3.56×10^11 N/m^2

The speed of sound in tungsten = 6166.4 m/s

Explanation:

Young's modulus (Y) = stress/strain

Stress = force/area

Force = mg = 30×9.8 = 294 N

Area = 1.5 × 2.6 = 3.9 mm^2 = 3.9/10^6 = 3.9×10^-6 m^2

Stress = 294/3.9×10^-6 = 7.54×10^7 N/m^2

Strain = extension/length

Extension = 0.000594 m

Length = 2.8 m

Strain = 0.000594/2.8 = 2.12×10^-4

Y = 7.54×10^7/2.12×10^-4 = 3.56×10^11 N/m^2

Y = h × rho × g

rho = 18.7 g/cm^3 = 18.7 g/cm^3 × 1 kg/1000 g × (100 cm/1 m)^3 = 18,700 kg/m^3

h = 3.56×10^11/(18,700×9.8) = 1.94×10^6 m

From the equations of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2gh =

Initial speed (u) = 0 m/s

v = sqrt (2×9.8×1.94×10^6)

v = 6166.4 m/s

You used the right-hand rule to determine the z component of the angular momentum, but as a check, calculate in terms of positio

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

case x py L is in the positive z direction

case y px L the negative z direction

Explanation:

The angular amount is defined by the relation

L = r x p

the bold are vectors, where r is the position vector and p is the linear amount vector.

The module of this vector can be concentrated by the relation

L = r p sin θ

the direction of the vector L can be found by the right-hand rule where the thumb points in the direction of the displacement vector, the fingers extended in the direction of the moment p which is the same direction of speed and the palm points in the direction of the angular momentum L

in the case x py

the thumb is in the x direction, the fingers are extended in the direction and the palm is in the positive z direction

In the case y px

the thumb is in the y direction, the fingers are in the x direction, the palm is in the negative z direction

Alexus [3.1K]

At 10 m/s, it will take
(2 m)/(10 m/s) = 0.2 s
to bridge the gap.

_____
However, it will take an additional 0.514 seconds (0.714 s total) for the policeman to land on the building below. The answer depends on the meaning of the question.
