Compare how magnetic forces act through non-magnetic materials and<br>magnetic materials:​

<h2>Compare how magnetic forces act through non-magnetic materials and </h2><h2>magnetic materials:​</h2>

Explanation:

Magnet

• Magnet :- is an object which attracts pieces of iron, steel etc towards itself.  

Some facts about magnets:-  

• When magnet is freely suspended it always align towards north-south direction    

• Like poles always repel  & opp. poles attract each other.  

• Magnet always exist as dipole    

• Two poles can never be separated : if we try to cut it then still both the poles will exist even ina small piece of magnet .it automatically develops the lost polarity

Magnet always develop certain area around it where its effect can be felt ie. magnetic field.  

MAGNETIC Field  

is studied by drawing imaginary lines called magnetic lines of forces.  

  Characteristics.  

• They always originate from North pole & terminate at South pole. This shows that if north pole was free is move it would have mvre towards south pole.  

•Place where they are closer indicate strong M. field i.e. at poles.  

•Mag. Field lines gives the direction of magnetic force.  

•Two magnetic lines will never intersect each other as they give direction of force & force can’t have 2 direction at a time.  

  •  M Field lines are closed continuous curves.  

This is what that happens in  magnetic materials .

Non magnetic materials

  • Magnetic forces 'act through' non-magnetic materials
  • These magnetic materials can be used as a shield around a magnet.
  • The domain theory of magnetism tries to explain why metals get magnetised
  • . The magnetic elements have little molecular magnets inside them.
  • Magnets attract only the magnetic materials

Types of magnetic materials

Soft magnetic materials (e.g. iron) have domains that easily move into line when the metal is placed in a magnetic field but as soon as the field is removed the domains take on a random pattern again. It returns to being unmagnetized straight away.

Hard magnetic materials (e.g. steel) have domains that do not easily move into line when the metal is placed in a magnetic field, a strong field is needed for some time, but then, when the field is removed the domains retain the magnetic pattern. The metal stays magnetic for a long time.

A rocket of mass 1000kg uses 5kg of fuel and oxygen to produce exhaust gases ejected at 500m/s calculate the increase its veloci
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Approximately \rm 2.5\; m \cdot s^{-1}.

Explanation:

Let the increase in the rocket's velocity be \Delta v. Let v_0 represent the initial velocity of the rocket. Note that for this question, the exact value of  v_0 doesn't really matter.

The momentum of an object is equal to its mass times its velocity.

  • Mass of the rocket with the 5 kg of fuel: 1000.
  • Initial velocity of the rocket and the fuel: v_0.
  • Hence the initial momentum of the rocket: 1000\,v_0.
  • Mass of the rocket without that 5 kg of fuel: 1000 - 5 = 995.
  • Final velocity of the rocket: v_0 + \Delta v.
  • Hence the final momentum of the rocket: 995\,(v_0 + \Delta v).
  • Mass of the 5 kg of fuel: 5.
  • Final velocity of the fuel: v_0 - 500 (assuming that the the 500 m/s in the question takes the rocket as its reference.)
  • Hence the final momentum of the fuel: 5\,(v_0 - 500).

Momentum is conserved in an isolated system like the rocket and its fuel. That is:

Sum of initial momentum = Sum of final momentum.

1000\,v_0 = 995\,(v_0 + \Delta v) + 5\,(v_0 - 500).

Note that 1000\, v_0 appears on both sides of the equation. These two terms could hence be eliminated.

0 = 995\, \Delta v - 5\times 500.

\displaystyle \Delta v = \frac{5}{995}\times 500 \approx \rm 2.5\; m \cdot s^{-1}.

Hence, the velocity of the rocket increased by around 2.5 m/s.

What types of media can S-waves travel through
Greeley [361]

Answer:

The second type of body wave is the S wave or secondary wave, which is the second wave you feel in an earthquake. An S wave is slower than a P wave and can only move through solid rock, not through any liquid medium.

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Gallileo is CORRECT in a vacuum where there is<u> no air friction</u>

  <u>air friction</u> affects same or different weight objects differently  and will cause same-weight   or different weight  objects to fall at different speeds
