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

Answer:

Potential

Explanation:

The most accurate term is Electrostatic potential energy

  • It is denoted as UC

It's named like this because the force between charges or electrons is called electrostatic force .

A car starts from rest, speeds up with constant acceleration, and travels 400 meters in 10 seconds. What was the acceleration of
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Acceleration of the car will be a=8m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given that car starts from rest so initial velocity of the car u = 0 m/sec

And car traveled 400 m in 10 sec

So distance traveled by car s = 400 m

Time taken to compete this distance t = 10 sec

We have to find the acceleration of the car

From second equation of motion we know that s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

So 400=0\times 10+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 10^2

a=8m/sec^2

So acceleration of the car will be a=8m/sec^2

What average force is needed to accelerate a 7.00-gram pellet from rest to 155 m/s over a distance of 0.600 m along the barrel o
leonid [27]

Answer: The force needed is 140.22 Newtons.

Explanation:

The key assumption in this problem is that the acceleration is constant along the path of the barrel bringing the pellet from velocity 0 to 155 m/s. This means the velocity is linearly increasing in time.

The force exerted on the pellet is

F = m a

In order to calculate the acceleration, given the displacement d,  

d = \frac{1}{2}at^2\implies a=\frac{2d}{t^2}

we will need to determine the time t it took for the pellet to make the distance through the barrel of 0.6m. That time can be determined using the average velocity of the pellet while traveling through the barrel. Since the velocity is a linear function of time, as mentioned above, the average is easy to calculate as:

\overline{v}=\frac{1}{2}(v_{end}-v_{start})=\frac{1}{2}(155-0)\frac{m}{s}=77.5\frac{m}{s}

This value can be used to determine the time for the pellet through the barrel:

t = \frac{d}{\overline{v}}=\frac{0.6m}{77.5\frac{m}{s}}\approx0.00774s

Finally, we can use the above to calculate the force:

F = ma = m\frac{2d}{t^2} = 0.007kg\cdot \frac{2\cdot 0.6 m}{0.00774^2 s^2}\approx 140.22N
