In step 1, to increase the potential energy, the iron will move towards the electromagnet.
In step 2, to increase the potential energy, the iron will move towards the electromagnet.
<h3>Potential energy of a system of magnetic dipole</h3>
The potential energy of a system of dipole depends on the orientation of the dipole in the magnetic field.

where;
is the dipole moment- B is the magnetic field


Increase in the distance (r) reduces the potential energy. Thus, we can conclude the following;
- In step 1, to increase the potential energy, the iron will move towards the electromagnet.
- In step 2, when the iron is rotated 180, it will still maintain the original position, to increase the potential energy, the iron will move towards the electromagnet.

Answer:
a) P = 807.85 N, b) P = 392.15 N, c) P = 444.12 N
Explanation:
For this exercise, let's use Newton's second law, let's set a reference frame with the x-axis parallel to the plane and the direction rising as positive, and the y-axis perpendicular to the plane.
Let's use trigonometry to break down the weight
sin θ = Wₓ / W
cos θ = W_y / W
Wₓ = W sin θ
W_y = W cos θ
Wₓ = 1200 sin 30 = 600 N
W_y = 1200 cos 30 = 1039.23 N
Y axis
N- W_y = 0
N = W_y = 1039.23 N
Remember that the friction force always opposes the movement
a) in this case, the system will begin to move upwards, which is why friction is static
P -Wₓ -fr = 0
P = Wₓ + fr
as the system is moving the friction coefficient is dynamic
fr = μ N
fr = 0.20 1039.23
fr = 207.85 N
we substitute
P = 600+ 207.85
P = 807.85 N
b) to avoid downward movement implies that the system is stopped, therefore the friction coefficient is static
P + fr -Wx = 0
fr = μ N
fr = 0.20 1039.23
fr = 207.85 N
we substitute
P = Wₓ -fr
P = 600 - 207,846
P = 392.15 N
c) as the movement is continuous, the friction coefficient is dynamic
P - Wₓ + fr = 0
P = Wₓ - fr
fr = 0.15 1039.23
fr = 155.88 N
P = 600 - 155.88
P = 444.12 N
D = distance between the cars at the start of time = 680 km
v₁ = speed of one car
v₂ = speed of other car = v₁ - 10
t = time taken to meet = 4 h
distance traveled by one car in time "t" + distance traveled by other car in time "t" = D
v₁ t + v₂ t = D
(v₁ + v₂) t = D
inserting the values
(v₁ + v₁ - 10) (4) = 680
v₁ = 90 km/h
rate of slower car is given as
v₂ = v₁ - 10
v₂ = 90 - 10 = 80 km/h
