What are the differences between a magnetic and gravitational interaction

Physics
1 answer:
GREYUIT [131]3 years ago
3 0
Classically, gravitational attraction is due to the masses of objects. It is inversely proportional to the square of the distances between the objects.

Magnetic attraction is due to the magnetism in objects which is due to uncompensated electron spins in certain atoms.  The force due to magnetism less easy to put into one equation than gravity since magnetic fields can have different shapes, but the simplest one (the dipolar field) is inversely proportional to the cube of the distance between the magnetic dipoles.

The​ time, t, required to drive a fixed distance varies inversely as the​ speed, r. It takes 3 hr at a speed of 14 ​km/h to driv
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

time taken with speed 23 km/h will be 1.8 hours or 1 hour 48 minutes

Explanation:

Given:

Time is inversely proportional to the speed

mathematically,

t ∝ (1/r)

let the proportionality constant be 'k'

thus,

t = k/r

therefore, for case 1

time = 3 hr

speed = 14 km/hr

3 = k/14

also,

for case 2

let the time be = t

r = 23 km/h

thus,

we have

t = k/23

on dividing equation 2 by 1

we get

\frac{t}{3}=\frac{k/23}{k/14}

or

t=\frac{14\times3}{23}

or

t = 1.8 hr = or 1 hour 48 minutes ( 0.8 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 48 minutes)

Imagine you are sitting on a sled and someone is about to push you down a hill. Which statement is accurate?
Dima020 [189]

The answer is:

Forces acting on the sled are paired with equal and opposite forces.

The explanation:

About to push you, this means that he doesn't push yet. If the sled is on level ground and no one is pushing it, then forces are equal and opposite.

The gravity force pulls down and the ground pushes up.

This is Newton's third law:

Newton's third law: If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A.

This law represents a certain symmetry in nature: forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself.

We can also see Newton’s third law at work by taking a look at how people move about. Consider a swimmer pushing off from the side of a pool.

A mechanic has a wrench where the hand grip is 0.40 m from the axis of the bolt. To apply a torque of 170 N m with this wrench w
Grace [21]

Answer:

4.3 * 10 N

Explanation:

To calculate torque, we multiply the distance from the pivot by the perpendicular (the part of the force that acts at right angles to the displacement vector) component of the force to the displacement vector from the pivot.

torque  = distance from pivot *  perpendicular force

170 Nm= 0.4 m * F

F = 425 N = 4.3 * 10 N rounded off to two significant figures

What is the molar mass of an ideal gas if a 0.800 g sample of this gas occupies a volume of 200. mL at 50.0 oC and 720. mm Hg?
Paladinen [302]
PV=nRT
(720/760)(0.200)=(0.800/x)(0.08206)(323.15)
(0.1894736842)=(0.800/x)(0.08206)(323.15)
.0071451809=(0.800/x)
x=MM=111.9635758 g/mol
