Answer:

<h2><em><u>Johannes Kepler</u></em></h2>

Explanation:

He made rules about planetary motion.
The scientist Johannes Kepler was a German astronomer.
He found out that the planets evolved around the Sun.
He also made the laws of planetary motion.

Hope this helped,

A 40 g ball rolls around a 30 cm -diameter L-shaped track, shown in the figure, (Figure 1)at 60 rpm . What is the magnitude of t

levacccp [35]

Answer:

0.47 N

Explanation:

Here we have a ball in motion along a circular track.

For an object in circular motion, there is a force that "pulls" the object towards the centre of the circle, and this force is responsible for keeping the object in circular motion.

This force is called centripetal force, and its magnitude is given by:

$F=m\omega^2 r$

where

m is the mass of the object

$\omega$ is the angular velocity

r is the radius of the circle

For the ball in this problem we have:

m = 40 g = 0.04 kg is the mass of the ball

$\omega =60 rpm \cdot \frac{2\pi rad/rev}{60 s/min}=6.28 rad/s$ is the angular velocity

r = 30 cm = 0.30 m is the radius of the circle

Substituting, we find the force:

$F=(0.040)(6.28)^2(0.30)=0.47 N$

A common physics demonstration is to drop a small magnet down a long, vertical aluminum pipe. Describe the motion of the magnet

Rzqust [24]

Answer and Explanation:

This experiment is known as Lenz's tube.

The Lenz tube is an experiment that shows how you can brake a magnetic dipole that goes down a tube that conducts electric current. The magnet, when falling, along with its magnetic field, will generate variations in the magnetic field flux within the tube. These variations create an emf induced according to Faraday's Law:

$\varepsilon =-\frac{d\phi_B}{dt}$

This emf induced on the surface of the tube generates a current within it according to Ohm's Law:

$V=IR$

This emf and current oppose the flux change, therefore a field will be produced in such a direction that the magnet is repelled from below and is attracted from above. The magnitude of the flux at the bottom of the magnet increases from the point of view of the tube, and at the top it decreases. Therefore, two "magnets" are generated under and above the dipole, which repel it below and attract above. Finally, the dipole feels a force in the opposite direction to the direction of fall, therefore it falls with less speed.
