Metals, especially iron, have this form of electron cloud around it. When it's placed in a magnetic field these electrons line up

Explanation:

A current flowing in a wire creates a magnetic field around the wire.

This concept is used in an electromagnet.

Wrap a wire around the iron nail and turned into a coil and then connect it to a battery. This system is called an electromagnet.

By adding the more turns to the coil or increasing the current in the coil, you can make an electromagnet more stronger.

Iron is used in an electromagnet as it easily gain magnetic properties. When the current is flowing in the coil then it will be easily gain magnetic properties and when the current is stopped then it will loose magnetic properties.

A basketball player grabbing a rebound jumps 76.0 cm vertically. How much total time (ascent and descent) does the player spend.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: Part(a)=0.041 secs, Part(b)=0.041 secs

Explanation: Firstly we assume that only the gravitational acceleration is acting on the basket ball player i.e. there is no air friction

now we know that

a=-9.81 m/s^2 ( negative because it is pulling the player downwards)

we also know that

s=76 cm= 0.76 m ( maximum s)

using kinetic equation

$v^2=u^2+2as$

where v is final velocity which is zero at max height and u is it initial

hence

$u^2=-2(-9.81)*0.76$

$u=3.8615 m/s\\$

now we can find time in the 15 cm ascent

$s=ut+0.5at^2$

$0.15=3.861*t+0.5*9.81t^2\\$

using quadratic formula

$t=\frac{-3.861+\sqrt{3.86^2-4*0.5*9.81(-0.15)} }{2*0.5*9.81}$

t=0.0409 sec

the answer for the part b will be the same

To find the answer for the part b we can find the velocity at 15 cm height similarly using

$v^2=u^2+2as$

where s=0.76-0.15

as the player has traveled the above distance to reach 15cm to the bottom

$v^2=0^2 +2*(9.81)*(0.76-0.15)$

$v=3.4595$

when the player reaches the bottom it has the same velocity with which it started which is 3.861

hence the time required to reach the bottom 15cm is

$t=\frac{3.861-3.4595}{9.81}$

t=0.0409

What is tensor quantity?<br>Is Inertia a tensor? give reason

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

A tensor is a quantity, for example a stress or a strain, which has magnitude, direction, and a plane in which it acts. Stress and strain are both tensor quantities. ... A tensor is a quantity, for example a stress or a strain, which has magnitude, direction, and a plane in which it acts.

Inertia Tensor. where I = the inertia tensor. The angular momentum of a rigid body rotating about an axis passing through the origin of the local reference frame is in fact the product of the inertia tensor of the object and the angular velocity. ... As shown in [7], the inertia tensor is symmetric.

Heat is transferred from molecules with more kinetic energy to molecules with _________kinetic energy.

Karolina [17]

Answer:

low

Explanation:

the higher the kinetic energy, the More the vibration of molecules, thus heat is more on the side with highly vibrating molecules
