What is it that makes a magnet different from a piece of iron that is not mangetic?

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Under normal conditions, a magnetic material like iron doesn't behave like a magnet because the domains don't have a preferred direction of alignment. On the other hand, the domains of a magnet (or a magnetized iron) are all aligned in s specific direction.

While ice skating, you unintentionally crash into a person. Your mass is 60kg

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The speed is 6.1m/s with an angle of 56.3 degrees north of east.

Explanation:

We meed to apply the Linear momentum theorem:

$m1*vo1+m2*vo2=m1*vf1+m2*vf2\\60*(8.0m/s(East))+80*(9.0m/s(North))=140*vf\\vf=3.4m/s(East)+5.1m/s(North)$

The magnitude of the velocity is given by:

$v=\sqrt{Veast^2+Vnorth^2} \\v=6.1m/s$

and the angle:

$\alpha =arctg(\frac{Vnorth}{Veast})\\\alpha=56.3^o$

The power of a purely resistive lead is always positive although the current and voltage are sometimes negative. explain

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Current is in phase with voltage in a resistive circuit. Note that the wave form for power is always positive, never negative for this resistive circuit. This means that power is always being dissipated by the resistive load, and never returned to the source as it is with reactive loads.Explanation:
