Answer:

Yes it is possible to control to some extent.

Explanation:

In general there are two types of magnets : permanent and temporary (electromagnets).

Electromagnets can be controlled since it basically depends on electricity. By switching on and off the electric supply the magnets also can be switched on and off respectively. We can also control the intensity of magnetic power.

On the other hand permanent magnet cannot be switched on and off but the magnetic properties can be altered event to an extent when it loses all its magnetic properties. It can be caused by high temperature, physical impact and also exposure to other magnetic fields. For every element there is a point of temperature called curie temperature above which the permanent magnet loses its magnetic properties. This can be brought back again by induced magnetism. The only issue is that induced magnetism work in most cases but not in all.

How should you behave while performing laboratory experiments?

Brrunno [24]

Explanation:

Always behave responsibly in the laboratory. Do not run around or play practical jokes. Always check the safety data of any chemicals you are going to use. Never smell, taste or touch chemicals unless instructed to do so.

iris [78.8K]

When copper carbonate is heated, it decomposes to form a black residue. This black residue is actually copper(II) oxide. Along with this black residue, carbon-dioxide is released. The complete reaction is the following:

$CuCO_3\to CuO(s)+CO_2(g)$

The law of conservation of mass holds true. 123.6 g of copper carbonate decomposes to 79.6 g of copper oxide and (123.6 g-79.6 g=44 g) 44 g of carbon-dioxide.

A quartz crystal vibrates with a frequency of 35,621 Hz. What is the period of the crystal's motion?

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Period = 1 / frequency

Period = 1 / (35,621 /s)

Period = 2.8073... x 10⁻⁵ sec

Period = <em>28.07 microseconds</em>

Period = <em>0.0281 millisecond</em>

A centrifuge has an angular velocity of 3,000 rpm, what is the acceleration (in unit of the earth gravity) at a point with a rad

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

$a_{r} = 1006.382g \,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Explanation:

Let suppose that centrifuge is rotating at constant angular speed, which means that resultant acceleration is equal to radial acceleration at given radius, whose formula is:

$a_{r} = \omega^{2}\cdot R$

Where:

$\omega$ - Angular speed, measured in radians per second.

$R$ - Radius of rotation, measured in meters.

The angular speed is first determined:

$\omega = \frac{\pi}{30}\cdot \dot n$

Where $\dot n$ is the angular speed, measured in revolutions per minute.

If $\dot n = 3000\,rpm$ , the angular speed measured in radians per second is:

$\omega = \frac{\pi}{30}\cdot (3000\,rpm)$

$\omega \approx 314.159\,\frac{rad}{s}$

Now, if $\omega = 314.159\,\frac{rad}{s}$ and $R = 0.1\,m$ , the resultant acceleration is then:

$a_{r} = \left(314.159\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)^{2}\cdot (0.1\,m)$

$a_{r} = 9869.588\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

If gravitational acceleration is equal to 9.807 meters per square second, then the radial acceleration is equivalent to 1006.382 times the gravitational acceleration. That is:

$a_{r} = 1006.382g \,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$
