How might the ability of magnets to attract certain metals relate to the crane?

Physics

stepan [7]3 years ago

Answer:

When the elctromagnet is ON, it picks up the iron pieces from the other scrap (copper, brass, bronze, aluminium, rubber, plastic, glass etc. that is non-magnetic. Then the crane moves to the designated spot where the iron is to be dumped. Then the electromagnet is OFF and the pieces drop - that is the beauty of soft magnetic materials like iron and electromagnetism. When the current is switched off the magnetism disappears and gravity takes over….

If we used a permanent magnet, the iron pieces would be picked up, but they would be stuck to the powerful magnet and removing them would be a tough task.

One type of potential energy is gravitational potential energy. What is necessary for an object to have gravitational potential
galben [10]

Answer:

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. Since the force required to lift it is equal to its weight, it follows that the gravitational potential energy is equal to its weight times the height to which it is lifted.

Natalie accelerate her skateboard along a straight path from 0 m/s to 4.0 m/s in 2.5 s. find her average acceleration
Vikentia [17]
Acceleration=(speed end - speed start)/ time
Data:
speed end=4 m/s
speed start=0 m/s
time=2.5 s

acceleration=(4 m/s - 0 m/s)/2.5 s=1.6 m/s²

Answer: the acceleration would be 1.6 m/s²
