Answer:

Since steel contains iron (a magnetic metal), the magnets will attract the steel cans since aluminum is not magnetic. This is used to separate the steel cans from the aluminum cans so they can be recycled separately.

The mass of an object on earth is 20 kg what will be the mass of that object on moon? And why?

Alla [95]

Answer:

20kg

Explanation:

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. The mass of an object, the amount of matter inside it does not change based on location. E.g. Objects do not lose matter when they travel to the moon.

Weight, on the other hand is the downward force you exert on the ground. Weight is calculated by multiplying the mass by the gravitational field strength and changes in different places with different gravitational strength. E.g. The moon's gravitational strength is 1/5 of Earth's so the mass of the object would stay the same but the weight would be only 20% of the weight is had on earth.

Hope this helped!

A 24 kg child sits on a 2.0-m-long rope swing. You are going to give the child a small, brief push at regular intervals.

Bess [88]

time should you wait between pushes is 2.83 sec.

the question is incomplete, full statement is-

A 24 kg child sits on a 2.0-m-long rope swing. You are going to give the child a small, brief push at regular intervals. If you want to increase the amplitude of her motion as quickly as possible, how much time should you wait between pushes?

<h3>What is Amplitude?</h3>

In physics, amplitude refers to the greatest displacement or distance that a point on a vibrating body or wave may move relative to its equilibrium location. It is equivalent to the vibration path's half-length.

regular interval - at similarly spaced intervals: having the same interval of time between occurrences From 4 a.m. to midnight, the buses operate at regular intervals. The boards are positioned at regular intervals, with an equal amount of space between each.

The length of swing, l = 2.1 m

The time between the pushes is nothing but the Time period

and is given by the formula,

$T = 2\pi ( \frac{l}{g} )^{\frac{1}{2} }$

= 2 * 3.14 ( 2.0/ 9.8 ) ^ (1/2)

= 2.83 sec

A generator makes electricity from _____ A. Chemical reactions B. Friction C. Kinetic energy D. Heat

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The answer is C. Kinetic energy

Explanation:

Generators don't actually create electricity. Instead, they convert mechanical or chemical energy into electrical energy. They do this by capturing the power of motion and turning it into electrical energy by forcing electrons from the external source through an electrical circuit.
