Answer:

You can create an electromagnet by wrapping an insulated wire around a metal with ferromagnetic properties and applying an electric current."

Explanation:

Electromagnets are made by wrapping an insulated wire around a metal with ferromagnetic properties (example is iron), to form a loop, and then applying a current through the wire. Electromagnets can generate magnetism with a strong force field, and unlike normal magnets, their strength can be varied by varying the amount of current flowing through the coil. Their main disadvantage, which is also their most utilized property is that their magnetism is lost once the current flowing through the wire is cut-off.

Kids are pelting a window with snowballs. On average, two snowballs of roughly 300-g mass hit the window each second, moving hor

hram777 [196]

Answer:

The average force exerted on the window due to two snowballs is 6 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of snowballs $m = 300 \times 10^{-3}$ Kg

Velocity of snowball $v = 10 \frac{m}{s}$

For finding the average force,

Force is equal to the change in momentum,

$F = \frac{dP}{dt}$

Here, final velocity is zero so we write,

$F = \frac{mv}{1}$

Where $dt = 1$ sec

$F = 300 \times 10^{-30} \times 10$

$F = 3$ N

Above value of force is due to one ball, but here given in question there are two ball,

$F = 3 \times 2$

$F = 6$ N

Therefore, the average force exerted on the window due to two snowballs is 6 N

1pt A cannon fires a 5-kg ball horizontally from a

Klio2033 [76]

Answer: Both cannonballs will hit the ground at the same time.

Explanation:

Suppose that a given object is on the air. The only force acting on the object (if we ignore air friction and such) will be the gravitational force.

then the acceleration equation is only on the vertical axis, and can be written as:

a(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)

Now, to get the vertical velocity equation, we need to integrate over time.

v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t + v0

Where v0 is the initial velocity of the object in the vertical axis.

if the object is dropped (or it only has initial velocity on the horizontal axis) then v0 = 0m/s

and:

v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t

Now, if two objects are initially at the same height (both cannonballs start 1 m above the ground)

And both objects have the same vertical velocity, we can conclude that both objects will hit the ground at the same time.

You can notice that the fact that one ball is fired horizontally and the other is only dropped does not affect this, because we only analyze the vertical problem, not the horizontal one. (This is something useful to remember, we can separate the vertical and horizontal movement in these type of problems)

Which has more momentum, a speeding baseball or an ocean liner at rest in a harbor?

uranmaximum [27]

Momentum is (mass) times (speed), so nothing that is at rest has any momentum. If the battleship is at rest, then a mosquito in flight, a leaf falling from a tree, and your speedy baseball each have more momentum than the ship has.

A 40.0 kg box is placed on a 2.00 m tall shelf. If the box falls off the shelf, what is its kinetic energy as it strikes the gro

RUDIKE [14]

M = 40 Kg , g=9.8 m/s² , h = 2 m

PE = m g h

PE = (40) (9.8) (2)

PE = 784 J

KE = PE

½m v² = m g h

½ v² = g h

½ v² = (9.8) (2)

½ v² = 19.6

v² = 19.6×2

v² = 39.2

V = √39.2

V = 6.26 m/s

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½(40) (6.26)²

KE =783.8 J
