What are 2 uses for this tiny electromagnet?

Electromagnets are used in all kinds of electric devices, including hard disk drives, speakers, motors, and generators, as well as in scrap yards to pick up heavy scrap metal. They're even used in MRI machines, which utilize magnets to take photos of your insides!

It's not necessarily so tiny.  We can't really tell, but look at the size of the paper clips.

Anyway, it doesn't really matter.

If you actually HAD this machine, it could be very useful, in EXACTLY the situation shown in the picture:  Your lab partner is a clumsy klutz ... during the electromagnet experiment, s/he emptied a whole 2-pound box of paper clips all over the floor of the lab, and the teacher wants every one of them picked up, RIGHT NOW !  Your partner gets down on knees and starts picking the clips up off the floor, one at a time.  But YOU have this wonderful machine that you've been working with in the lab !  YOU get down on your knees, switch it ON, and you slowly wave the coil with the iron core back and forth, a few inches above the floor.  All of the paper clips slide over to you and snap themselves onto the electromagnet, just like you see in the picture.  THEN you hold it over the empty box and switch the power OFF.  All the clips fall off of the magnet and into the box, and the teacher immediately gives you an A for that lab.

Or ... you could use it as a real-world teaching tool. Just carry it with you everywhere you go for a whole day, and try it on everything.  Whatever you do all day, switch the electromagnet ON, and see what it sticks to and what it doesn't ..... bugs, spoons, books, toilet paper, smartphone, phone in the house, newspaper, car steering wheel, windows, computer, computer mouse, real mouse, pencil, earbuds, vape smoke, your blue hoodie, skateboard, scooter, tires, rocks, water, goldfish, donuts, Coke, Pepsi, raw burger meat, cooked burger meat, the bun, nails, nickels, dimes, quarters, pennies, dollar bills, coins from other countries, ketchup, drumstick from a drum, drumstick from a chicken, your baby brother, a notebook, a compass, the schoolbus, a plastic trash can, a bathroom faucet, a kitchen faucet, etc. etc. etc.  Find 10 or 20 things that DO stick to it when it's ON, and 10 or 20 things that DON't.  You'll learn so much that by the end of the day, you'll be able to LOOK at something and TELL whether it'll stick to the electromagnet or not, without even trying it.  Your friends will be amazed.

Two paths lead to the top of a big hill. One is steep and direct, while the other is twice as long but less steep. How much more
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

None.

Explanation:

  • Gravitational potential energy, depends only of the mass on which the gravity is doing work, and the displacement produced by this force.
  • As displacement depends only on the final and initial positions (in this case, the height of the hill), if we choose as our zero reference level the bottom of the hill, the change in gravitational potential energy will be as follows:

       \Delta U = U_{f} -U_{0} = m*g*h - 0  = m*g*h

  • As we can see, the only value of distance involved is the height of the hill , so it is independent of the distance travelled.

Why is friction useful between your feet and the ground?
mixer [17]

Answer:

It allows you to walk faster.

Explanation:  

It is the same force that allows you to accelerate forward when you run. Your planted foot can grip the ground and push backward, which causes the ground to push forward on your foot. We call this grip type of friction, where the surfaces are prevented from slipping across each other, a static frictional force.

IM SOO CONFUSED PLS HELP!! The mass of the nucleus is approximately EQUAL to the mass number multiplied by ____ Atomic Mass unit
nevsk [136]

Answer:

option a.

Explanation:

We can think of an atom as a nucleus (where the protons and neutrons are) and some electrons orbiting it.

We also know that the mass of an electron is a lot smaller than the mass of a proton or the mass of an electron.

So, if all the protons and electrons of an atom are in the nucleus, we know that most of the mass of an atom is in the nucleus of that atom.

Then we define the mass number, which is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Such that the mass of a proton (or a neutron) is almost equal to 1u

Then if we define A as the total number of protons and neutrons, and each one of these weights about 1u

(where u = atomic mass unit)

Then the weight of the nucleus is about A times 1u, or:

A*1u = A atomic mass units.

Then the correct option is:

The mass of the nucleus is approximately EQUAL to the mass number multiplied by __1__ Atomic Mass unit.

option a.

What relationship do you see between a star colour and temperature
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Stars emit colors of many different wavelengths, but the wavelength of light where a star's emission is concentrated is related to the star's temperature - the hotter the star, the more blue it is; the cooler the star, the more red it is
