<span>If you put a magnet right next to a USB drive, depending on the strength of the magnet and the amount of steel, nickel or cobalt used in the construction of that particular model of USB drive, the drive would either adhere to, or not adhere to, the magnet. This would cause no other significant effects. The storage of data in solid state form (as in USB drives) is not magnetic in nature, so no deletion or any other damage of the stored data would occur.</span>

Before going to answer this first we have to know the various  types of materials that are present in an USB  drives.

The major materials of the USB drives are copper,silver and to some extent there will be gold plating also.

It contains the alloy like Brass also.

Irrespective of this it contains the integrated circuits[ICs] which are made up of semiconducting materials mostly like silicon.

From the above we get that a USB drive does not contain any type of magnetic materials.The data in the USB drive are stored in the form of electric charges .

Whenever a USB drive is taken towards a magnet and placed gently close to it,the magnetic field can't affect the data stored inside the drive as it is not magnetic in nature.The rest magnet cant not affect the the charge particles present inside the drive.

But if the magnetic filed has great strength and there will be any relative motion between drive and magnet,then it will induce a force on the drive which has still less impact on the drive. A magnet can hamper the stored data if that will be magnetic in nature.

A student pulls a 50-newton sled with a force having a magnitude of 15 newtons. What is the magnitude of the force that the sled
Simora [160]

Answer:

Force = 35 N

Explanation:

From Newton's third law of motion, the boy must apply a force greater than the weight of the sled to lift it.

weight of sled = mg

where m is its mass and g the force of gravity on it.

weight of sled = 50 N

Force applied by the boy on the sled = 15 N

Since the force applied on the sled by the boy is lesser than the weight of the sled, then;

Force that the sled exerts on the student = 50 - 15

                                             = 35 N

The force exerted by the sled on the student is 35 N.

The 9-inch-long elephant nose fish in the Congo River generates a weak electric field around its body using an organ in its tail
Alik [6]

Answer:

1.34\cdot 10^{-16} C

Explanation:

The strength of the electric field produced by a charge Q is given by

E=k\frac{Q}{r^2}

where

Q is the charge

r is the distance from the charge

k is the Coulomb's constant

In this problem, the electric field that can be detected by the fish is

E=3.00 \mu N/C = 3.00\cdot 10^{-6}N/C

and the fish can detect the electric field at a distance of

r=63.5 cm = 0.635 m

Substituting these numbers into the equation and solving for Q, we find the amount of charge needed:

Q=\frac{Er^2}{k}=\frac{(3.00\cdot 10^{-6} N/C)(0.635 m)^2}{9\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2}}=1.34\cdot 10^{-16} C

1. A ball with a mass of 2.3 kg travels with a velocity of 10 m/s. What is it's kinetic energy?
monitta

Answer:

KE=½mv²

KE=½2.3kg×(10m/s)²

KE=½2.3kg×100m²/s²

KE=2.3kg×50m²/s²

KE=115joules
