Describe some precautions needed to increase the safety of participants in the sports of football.

OLga [1]

Football is a popular ball game and so many people play football these days. Been a contact game, there is no way players will not sustain injuries, but this can be reduced to the lowest point by taking some precautions.
The precautions that could be taken include the following:
Wear the right shoes.
Wear shin guard and soccer socks.
Use the right and properly fitted equipment [helmets, shoulder pads, googles, mouth-guards, etc]. All these equipment should be made for the soccer sport.

Which best explains why magnets can push on or pull other magnets without touching them?

V125BC [204]

Magnetism is a property of materials that respond at an atomic or subatomic level to an applied magnetic field. For example, the most well known form of magnetism is ferromagnetism such that some ferromagnetic materials produce their own persistent magnetic field. However, all materials are influenced to greater or lesser degree by the presence of a magnetic field. Some are attracted to a magnetic field (paramagnetism); others are repulsed by a magnetic field (diamagnetism); others have a much more complex relationship with an applied magnetic field. Substances that are negligibly affected by magnetic fields are known as non-magnetic substances. They include copper, aluminium, gases, and plastic.

The magnetic state (or phase) of a material depends on temperature (and other variables such as pressure and applied magnetic field) so that a material may exhibit more than one form of magnetism depending on its temperature, etc.
Or
If it's a multiple choice question this is the best answer: 
A magnetic field surrounds each magnet, which affects other objects with magnetic fields
hope this helpsss.
and can you help me as well with two questions if you dont mind

Investigations allow for the control of variables

Sloan [31]

I believe that the statement is true. Investigations allow for the control of variables. Changing variables will lead you to observations that may prove your hypothesis. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Please feel free to ask more questions.

A long, straight wire lies in the plane of a circular coil with a radius of 0.018 m. the wire carries a current of 5.6 a and is

iris [78.8K]

(a) The net flux through the coil is zero.
In fact, the magnetic field generated by the wire forms concentric circles around the wire. The wire is placed along the diameter of the coil, so we can imagine as it divides the coil into two emisphere. Therefore, the magnetic field of the wire is perpendicular to the plane of the coil, but the direction of the field is opposite in the two emispheres. Since the two emispheres have same area, then the magnetic fluxes in the two emispheres are equal but opposite in sign, and so they cancel out when summing them together to find the net flux.

(b) If the wire passes through the center of the coil but it is perpendicular to the plane of the wire, the net flux through the coil is still zero.
In fact, the magnetic field generated by the wire forms concentric lines around the wire, so it is parallel to the plane of the coil. But the flux is equal to
$\Phi = BA \cos \theta$
where $\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the magnetic field and the perpendicular to the plane of the coil, so in this case $\theta=90^{\circ}$ and so the cosine is zero, therefore the net flux is zero.
