A student has the following equipment - copper wire, nail made of iron,a battery, paperclips.

1 answer:

The first step would be to create an electromagnet. You can create an electromagnet by winding a copper wire around the nail, the connect both ends to the battery. A current would start flowing around the nail through the wire, creating an electromagnet with its own magnetic field. Next, bringing the electromagnet to the mixture of copper and iron would slowly attract the pieces of iron (as copper is weakly magnetic). Do this slowly and the iron pieces would all slowly be separated from the copper pieces.

A contestant in a winter games event pulls a 36.0 kg block of ice across a frozen lake with a rope over his shoulder as shown in

Novay_Z [31]

(a) The minimum force F he must exert to get the block moving is 38.9 N.

(b) The acceleration of the block is 0.79 m/s².

<h3>Minimum force to be applied </h3>

The minimum force F he must exert to get the block moving is calculated as follows;

Fcosθ = μ(s)Fₙ

Fcosθ = μ(s)mg

where;

μ(s) is coefficient of static friction
m is mass of the block
g is acceleration due to gravity

F = [0.1(36)(9.8)] / [(cos(25)]

F = 38.9 N

<h3>Acceleration of the block</h3>

F(net) = 38.9 - (0.03 x 36 x 9.8) = 28.32

a = F(net)/m

a = 28.32/36

a = 0.79 m/s²

Thus, the minimum force F he must exert to get the block moving is 38.9 N.

The acceleration of the block is 0.79 m/s².

Two ice skaters, Daniel (mass 70.0 kg) and Rebecca (mass 45.0 kg), are practicing. Daniel stops to tie his shoelace and, while a

wel

Answer:

a) $v=7.32m/s$

b) $\alpha =-35$ º

c) $ΔK=-1094.62J$

Explanation:

From the exercise we know that the collision between Daniel and Rebecca is elastic which means they do not stick together

So, If we analyze the collision we got

$p_{1x}=p_{2x}$

To simplify the problem, lets name D for Daniel and R for Rebecca

a) $p_{D1x}+p_{R1x}=p_{D2x}+p_{R2x}$

Since Daniel's initial velocity is 0

$m_{R}v_{Rx}=m_{D}v_{D2x}+m_{R}v_{R2x}$

$v_{D2x}=\frac{m_{R}*v_{R1x}-m_{R}*v_{R2x}}{m_{D}}$

$v_{D2x}=\frac{(45kg)(14m/s)-(45kg)(8cos(55.1)m/s)}{(70kg)}=6m/s$

Now, lets analyze the movement in the vertical direction

$p_{1y}=p_{2y}$

Since $p_{1y}=0$

$0=m_{D}v_{D2y}+m_{R}v_{R2y}$

$v_{D2y}=-\frac{m_{R}v_{2Ry}}{m_{D}}=-\frac{(45kg)(8sin(55.1)m/s)}{(70kg)}=-4.21m/s$

Now, we can find the magnitude of Daniel's velocity after de collision

$v_{D}=\sqrt{(6m/s)^2+(-4.21m/s)^2}=7.32m/s$

b) To know whats the direction of Daniel's velocity we need to solve the arctan of the angle

$\alpha =tan^{-1}(\frac{v_{y}}{v_{x}})=tan^{-1}(\frac{-4.21}{6})=-35$ º

c) The change in the total kinetic energy is:

ΔK= $K_{2}-K_{1}$

ΔK= $\frac{1}{2}[(45kg)(8m/s)^2+(70kg)(7.32m/s)^2-(45kg)(14m/s)^2]=-1094.62J$

That means that the kinetic energy decreases
