Why was glass or plastic used to separate the filings from the magnets in the experiments?

Physics

Zina [86]3 years ago

The glass or plastics are non-magnetic materials, which means that they wouldn't be affected by the permanent magnet that you will use. They act as a virtual spacer between the magnet and the sprinklings. The sprinklings will orient themselves following the shape of the magnetic field created by from the magnet.

Which of the following is the correct SI unit to use in measuring the mass of a boulder
never [62]
Definitely not A or B. It really depends on the size of the boulder... It should be kilograms, unless it's a extremely huge boulder.

What happens to the magnitude of the gravitational force as the distance between two bodies increase?
Anna [14]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force will decrease

Explanation:

The gravitational force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. It is an attractive force exerted between every object having mass.

Its magnitude is given by the equation:

F=\frac{Gm_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1 is the mass of the first object

m2 is the mass of the second object

r is the separation between the objects

As we see from the equation, the magnitude of the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects:

F\propto \frac{1}{r^2}

Therefore, this means that as the distance between two bodies increases, the gravitational force will decrease.
