<h3>Answer;</h3>

The advantage of using electromagnet over a regular magnet is that the magnetic field or the strength of the magnet can be quickly adjusted by controlling the amount of electric current in the coil.

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Electromagnets are made by winding a wire through a magnetic material such as soft iron core making a coil, and then passing electric current through the coil thus making the soft iron core magnetic.
The strength of the electromagnet depends on the number of coils and also the size of the electric current through the coil.
Permanent magnets on the other hand do not require power but depends on the type of material used to make it.
Therefore, its advantageous to use electromagnets as compared to using permanent magnets since the strength of the electromagnet can be easily adjusted by regulating the amount of current flowing through the coils. Thus, the electromagnet can be adjusted for have different levels of magnetic fields.

The advantage of using an electromagnet rather than a regular magnet is that an electromagnet is stronger and you can control the power of the magnet.

if a 5-kg bowling ball is projected upward witha velocity of 2.0 m/s, then what is the recoil velocity of the Earth(mass=6.0×10^

vitfil [10]

by the concept of momentum conservation we can say

if net force on a system of mass is ZERO then its momentum will remain conserved

Here a ball is projected upwards so if we take Ball + Earth as a system then total momentum of the system will remain conserved

Initially when ball is on the surface of earth the system has zero momentum and hence we can say after throwing the ball momentum of earth + ball must be zero

now using same equation we can say

$P_{ball} + P_{earth} = 0$
