How does a magnet work?

Physics
1 answer:
Alona [7]2 years ago
7 0
All magnets have north and south poles. Opposite poles are attracted to each other, while the same poles repel each other. When you rub a piece of iron along a magnet, the north-seeking poles of the atoms in the iron line up in the same direction. The force generated by the aligned atoms creates a magnetic field.

Ksju [112]
Use kinematic equations to solve:

1) yf = yo + vo*t + 1/2at²

yf = final height
yo = initial height
vo = initial velocity
a = acceleration
t = time

yf - yo = vo*t + 1/2at²

yf - yo = h

vo = 0

Thus,

h = 1/2at²

h = 1/2(9.8)(12)² = 705.6 m

2) vf = vo + at

vo = 0

Thus,

vf = at

vf = (9.8)(12) = 117.6 m/s

If a plane has an airspeed of 40 m/s and is experiencing a crosswind of 30 m/s, what is its ground speed in m/s?
Anon25 [30]
<h2>Answer:50ms^{-1}</h2>

Explanation:

Let v_{a} be the airspeed.

Let v_{w} be the cross wind speed.

We know that,ground speed is the vector sum of airspeed and cross wind speed and airspeed is perpendicular to cross wind speed.

If v_{1} and v_{2} are two perpendicular vectors,the resultant vector has the magnitude \sqrt{|v|_{1}^{2}+|v|_{2}^{2}}

Given,

v_{a}=40ms^{-1}\\v_{c}=30ms^{-1}

So,the ground speed is \sqrt{40^{2}+30^{2}}=\sqrt{2500}=50ms^{-1}
