Answer:

A solenoid is a device comprised of a coil of wire, the housing and a moveable plunger (armature). When an electrical current is introduced, a magnetic field forms around the coil which draws the plunger in. More simply, a solenoid converts electrical energy into mechanical work.

Explanation:

The coil is made of many turns of tightly wound copper wire. When an electrical current flows through this wire, a strong magnetic field/flux is created.

The housing, usually made of iron or steel, surrounds the coil concentrating the magnetic field generated by the coil.

The plunger is attracted to the stop through the concentration of the magnetic field providing the mechanical force to do work.

The strength of a force is usually expressed by its magnitude. We have also to specify the direction in which a force acts.

An Arrow (0.5 kg) travels with velocity 60 m/s to the right when it pierces an apple (1 kg) which is initially at rest. After th

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Velocity after collision will be 20 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of arrow $m_1=0.5kg$

Mass of arrow $v_1=60m/sec$

Mass of apple $m_2=1kg$

Apple is at rest so velocity of apple $v_2=0m/sec$

According to conservation of momentum

Momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v$

$0.5\times 60+1\times 0=(0.5+1)v$

$1.5v=30$

v = 20 m/sec

Hay represents two-dimensional motion

GREYUIT [131]

If a body is moving from left to right or right to left it is linear motion in x- direction. It is also called one dimensional motion.

If a body is moving up to down or down to up it is linear motion in y- direction. It is also called one dimensional motion.

But if a body is moving forward as well as downward it travels in X direction and in y direction at the same time. Such a motion is called two dimensional motion.

E.g motion of a ball.

Attachment shows path of two dimensional motion of a ball.
