List the three main things necessary to build an electromagnet.

Physics
1 answer:
Arturiano [62]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Electromagnets are special types of magnets that are made by passing current through coils of wire. To make an electromagnet, the minimum requirements are:

1. A nail (usually made of iron, steel or zinc)

2. Dry cell batteries

3. Wire (Usually copper wire)

Other things could be:

1. Electric tape to hold both ends of the wire properly at the battery terminals.

2. Scissors to cut the wire into desired length.

3. Iron fillings for testing purposes.

Suppose astronomers find an earthlike planet that is twice the size of Earth (that is, its radius is twice the radius of Earth).
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

4 times the mass of Earth

Explanation:

M_1 = Mass of Earth

M_2 = Mass of the other planet

r = Radius of Earth

2r = Radius of the other planet

m = Mass of object

The force of gravity on an object on Earth is

F=\frac{GM_1m}{r^2}

The force of gravity on an object on the other planet is

F=\frac{GM_2m}{(2r)^2}

As the forces are equal

\frac{GM_1m}{r^2}=\frac{GM_2m}{(2r)^2}\\\Rightarrow M_1=\frac{M_2}{4}\\\Rightarrow M_2=4M_1

So, the other planet would have 4 times the mass of Earth

What is the buoyant force of a dog displacing 10 pounds of water?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

find V using d = M/V

Explanation:

F = d*V*g

d = density of fluid (in this case, 1000)

V = volume of object

g = gravity

A cutting tool several forces acting on it. One force is F=-axy^2 j , a force in the negative y-direction whose magnitude depend
liq [111]
The force on the tool is entirely in the negative-y direction.
So no work is done during any moves in the x-direction.

The work will be completely defined by

                     (Force) x (distance in the y-direction),

and it won't matter what route the tool follows to get anywhere. 
Only the initial and final y-coordinates matter.

We know that    F = - 2.85 y².  (I have no idea what that ' j ' is doing there.)
Remember that 'F' is pointing down.

From  y=0  to  y=2.40  is a distance of  2.40  upward.

Sadly, since the force is not linear over the distance, I don't think
we can use the usual formula for  Work = (force) x (distance).
I think instead we'll need to integrate the force over the distance,
and I can't wait to see whether I still know how to do that.

        Work  =  integral of (F·dy) evaluated from  0  to  2.40

                  =  integral of (-2.85 y² dy) evaluated from  0  to  2.40

                 =  (-2.85) · integral of  (y² dy)  evaluated from  0  to  2.40 .


Now, integral of (y² dy)  =  1/3  y³ .

Evaluated from  0  to  2.40 , it's  (1/3 · 2.40³) - (1/3 · 0³)

                                            =  1/3 · 13.824  =  4.608 .

And the work  =  (-2.85) · the integral

                     =  (-2.85) · (4.608)

                     =      - 13.133  .

-- There are no units in the question (except for that mysterious ' j ' after the 'F',
which totally doesn't make any sense at all).
If the ' F ' is newtons and the 2.40 is meters, then the  -13.133 is joules.

-- The work done by the force is negative, because the force points
DOWN but we lifted the tool UP to 2.40.  Somebody had to provide
13.133 of positive work to lift the tool up against the force, and the force
itself did 13.133 of negative work to 'allow' the tool to move up. 

-- It doesn't matter whether the tool goes there along the line  x=y , or
by some other route.  WHATEVER the route is, the work done by ' F ' 
is going to total up to be  -13.133 joules at the end of the day.

As I hinted earlier, the last time I actually studied integration was in 1972,
and I haven't really used it too much since then.  But that's my answer
and I'm stickin to it.  If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong, and I hope somebody
will show me where I'm wrong.
