Answer: It doesn’t function without a source of current

Explanation:

In an electromagnet, the magnetic field is generated by an electric current in a coil of wire which reinforces an iron core. But when the electric current applied on the mentioned core is disconnected, it immediately loses its magnetization. This also means that the intensity of the magnetic field can be controlled (increased or decreased) by changing the intensity of the electric current flowing through the nucleus.

That is why an electromagnet does not work without electric current.

Answer:

<h2>It doesn’t function without a source of current.</h2>

Explanation:

An electromagnet is defined as a magnet where its magnetic field is generated by an electrical current.

A simple form of an electromagnet is coil of wire wrapped around an iron core. The iron material helps to intensity the magnetic field.

Additonally, the strength of the magnetic field depends directly on the amount of current.

Therefore, the right answer is the first choice, because an electromagnet won't work without a current.

Based on Newton's law of motion, which combination of rocket bodies and engine will result in the acceleration of 40 m/s ^2 at t

ad-work [718]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

The Rocket Club is planning to launch a pair of model rockets. To build the rocket, the club needs a rocket body paired with an engine. The table lists the mass of three possible rocket bodies and the force generated by three possible engines.

A 4-column table with 3 rows. The first column labeled Body has entries 1, 2, 3. The second column labeled Mass (grams) has entries 500, 1500, 750. The third column labeled Engine has entries 1, 2, 3. The fourth column labeled Force (Newtons) has entries 25, 20, 30.

Based on Newton’s laws of motion, which combination of rocket bodies and engines will result in the acceleration of 40 m/s2 at the start of the launch?

Body 3 + Engine 1

Body 2 + Engine 2

Body 1 + Engine 2

Body 1 + Engine 1

Solution :

Given :

Body Mass (gram) Engine Force (newtons)

1 500 1 25

2 1500 2 20

3 750 3 30

The body 1 has a mass of 500 gram which is equal to 0.5 kg

And engine 2 has a force of 20 newtons.

We know that according to Newton's laws of motion,

Force = mass x acceleration

20 = 0.5 x acceleration

Acceleration $=\frac{20}{0.5}$

$=\frac{200}{5}$

$= 40 \ m/s^2$

Therefore, based on laws of motion of Newton, the Body 1 + Engine 2 combination of the rocket bodies and engines will result in an acceleration of $40 \ m/s^2$ at the start of the launch.

6. Mr. Leppold jumps out of a plane with a parachute...before the chute opens,

polet [3.4K]

1) He has both potential and kinetic energy

2) Before the parachute opens, the potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy increases

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of a body is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in a gravitational field, and it is given by:

$PE=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the body

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the body above the ground

On the other hand, the kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by the body due to its motion; it is given by

$KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

v is the speed of the object

Here Mr. Leppold has both potential and kinetic energy before opening the parachute, because:

- It is moving at a certain speed, so $v\neq 0$ , therefore he has kinetic energy

- He is at a certain height above the ground, $h\neq 0$ , therefore he has potential energy

The total mechanical energy of Mr.Leppold is the sum of the potential and the kinetic energy:

$E=PE+KE$

According to the law of conservation of energy, in absence of air resistance, this quantity remains constant.

During the fall, the height of Leppold decreases: this means that as $h$ decreases, the potential energy decreases too.

However, the total energy E must remain constant: therefore, this means that the kinetic energy KE must increase, and this occurs because the speed of Mr. Leppold increases as he falls.
