A magnetic compass is placed near an insulated copper wire. When the wire is connected to a battery and a current is created, th

e compass needle moves and changes its position. Which is the best explanation for the production of a force that causes the needle to move?

Explanation:

When the wire is connected to a battery, the compass needle moves and changes its position. This happens because the needle magnetizes the copper wire, thus,  creating a force.

While the current in the wire produces a magnetic field and exerts a force on the needle. The insulation on the wire becomes energized and exerts a force on the needle. Hence, the compass needle moves and changes its position.

Answer:

v = 16.11 m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the principle of conservation of energy. We set a reference system on the part of the platform without elongation

starting point. When the spring is compressed

        Em₀ = K_e + U = ½ k x² + m g x ’

final point. The point where it leaves the platform

        Em_f = K = ½ m v²

energy is conserved

         Em₀ = Em_f

         ½ k x² + m g x ’= ½ m v²

         v² = \frac{k}{m}  x² + g x

let's calculate

         v² = \frac{8700}{55}  1.25² + 9.8 1.25

         v² = 247.159 + 12.25 = 259.409

         v = 16.11 m / s
