Answer:

c. Each half becomes a new bar magnet with two magnetic poles.

Explanation:

As we know that each magnet must have two opposite poles at its two ends

1. North Pole

2. South pole

now we defined magnetic moment of the magnet as product of pole strength of magnet with its length.

Here as we brake a magnet into two pieces then each part of the magnet will again develop poles on two parts and each part will behave like a new magnet in which we will have two poles.

but in this case the magnetic moment of the magnet will change due to change in the length

Here magnetic pole strength will not change as it will not depends on the length of magnet

A motorcycle has a mass of 2.50×10^2. A constant force is exerted on it for 60.0s. The motorcycles initial velocity is 6.00 m/s

Margarita [4]

The change in momentum is 5500 kg m/s

Explanation:

The change in momentum of an object is given by

$\Delta p = m(v-u)$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

In this problem, we have:

$m=2.50\cdot 10^2 kg$ (mass of the motorcycle)

$v=28.0 m/s$ (final velocity)

$u=6.0 m/s$ (initial velocity)

Therefore, the change in momentum is

$\Delta p=(2.50\cdot 10^2)(28.0-6.0)=5500 kg m/s$

The atmosphere of Mercury and Mars are very thin. What effect does the thin atmosphere have on the temperature on the surface of

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Very hot during the day and very cold at night.

Explanation:

Due to the thin atmosphere, they have very hot climate during the day time and very cold climate at night. This happens because they contain very low amounts of greenhouse gases. These gases retain the heat at night. The atmosphere also prevents excessive light and UV rays from entering. The thin atmosphere leads to many asteroids and comets hitting the surface of the planet. On earth, these asteroids usually, burn up in the mesosphere layer of the atmosphere. These asteroid collisions cause massive fires. This in turn, causes the temperature to increase during the day. During the night time, massive fires cannot burn due to the low temperature because of the lack of greenhouse gases.

A battery powers a circuit for a small noisy fan. The fan’s motor gets warm as it turns. What energy transformations are taking

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The battery is an electric energy source, which is being used to power a motor. The motor turns this electricity into kinetic energy as it spins the fan, creates heat from friction, and creates noise as stated by the problem.
