A small compass is placed near a very large piece of ferromagnetic material. Before the compass is placed near the material, it

is pointing toward the Earth’s geographic north. Would the compass needle move? Explain your reasoning. If so, what direction would it point? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

it will move towards the object's magnetic south

Explanation:

The compass pints towards the earth geographic north because the magnetic south of the earth's magnetic field is located in there, if you placed such compass neaar the piece of ferromagnetic material, the magnetic field produced by the magnet will make the compass needle point towards its south magnetic pole, in the same fashion as it points to the earth's magnetic south. It will point to the object's south pole because the magnetic field will be stronger than the earth's (which is weak) that is because of the way magnetism works, opposite poles are attracted and similar poles will tend to separate from each other

A ball moves along a smooth metal surface while an identical ball moves along concrete.
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

2. The metal surface exerts less frictional force because there are fewer bumps and irregularities on it than there are on the concrete.

Explanation:

Frictional force is a force that is exerted between two surfaces in contact with each other. Frictional force always opposes the direction of relative motion of the two surfaces: for instance, for a ball moving along a surface, the force of friction exerted by the surface on the ball points opposite to the direction of motion of the ball.

The magnitude of the frictional force for a ball moving on a flat surface is given by

F=\mu mg

where

\mu is the coefficient of friction

m is the mass of the ball

g is the acceleration of gravity

The value of \mu depends on the type of surface involved. In particular, a smooth surface has a smaller value of \mu, while a rough surface will have a bigger value. In this case, we are comparing a smooth metal surface with concrete: since the metal surface has fewer bumps and irregularities than concrete, it has a smaller value of coefficient of friction, so it exerts less frictional force than concrete.

Explain how an electrical current is produced.
sweet-ann [11.9K]
Electric current can be generated by moving a metal wire through a magnetic field It is also different than static electricity, which is the accumulation of charges on a surface. Electric generators rotate a coil of wires through a magnetic field.

If force is made to act on a smaller area, then the pressure will be ______________
torisob [31]
Pressure=force/area therefore pressure is inversely proportional to the area if the force is constant. As a result the pressure will be greater.
