A magnet is any object that has a magnetic field. It attracts ferrous objects like pieces of iron, steel, nickel and cobalt. In the early days, the Greeks observed that the naturally occurring 'lodestone' attracted iron pieces. From that day onwards began the journey into the discovery of magnets.
These days magnets are made artificially in various shapes and sizes depending on their use. One of the most common magnets - the bar magnet - is a long, rectangular bar of uniform cross-section that attracts pieces of ferrous objects. The magnetic compass needle is also commonly used. The compass needle is a tiny magnet which is free to move horizontally on a pivot. One end of the compass needle points in the North direction and the other end points in the South direction.
The end of a freely pivoted magnet will always point in the North-South direction. The end that points in the North is called the North Pole of the magnet and the end that points South is called the South Pole of the magnet. It has been proven by experiments that like magnetic poles repel each other whereas unlike poles attract each other.
Answer:
f = 1.5 x 10¹⁵ Hz
Explanation:
Light is an electromagnetic wave and we know that the speed of light is a constant which is
3 x 10⁸ m/s.
Knowing this; v = λ x f
λ = wavelength
f= frequency of light
v = seed of light
f = v/λ
f = 3 x 10⁸m/s / 2.0 x 10-⁷ m
f = 1.5 x 10¹⁵ Hz
(A) It will 100 times larger than the original force.
That is not middle school grade level.
Answer:
Yes the ramp can be safely used
Explanation:
Here, we have
Length of longest ramp = 5 ft
Height of wall = 2 ft
Therefore, the sine of the angle adjacent to the ramp which is equal to the angle of elevation is given by;
Where:
The opposite side to angle = 2 ft wall and
Hypotenuse side = Ramp = 5 ft
Therefore,
and θ = sin⁻¹0.4 = 23.55 °
The ramp can be safely used as the angle it is adjacent to is less than the specified 30°.
