Answer:

Ferromagnetism, physical phenomenon in which certain electrically uncharged materials strongly attract others. Two materials found in nature, lodestone (or magnetite, an oxide of iron, Fe3O4) and iron, have the ability to acquire such attractive powers, and they are often called natural ferromagnets.

Hope this help :)

What purpose does a female pine cone serve?

Dimas [21]

The answer is It protects the seed until it matures.

Through the process of elimination:
- It protects the seed until it matures. YES. A female pine cone the unfertilized seeds until they become mature. Then, the cone opens and seeds fall out of the cone.

- It makes food for the adult plant. NO. The food of plants in made of green leaves that contain chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis.
- It allows for photosynthesis to occur. NO. The cones have nothing to do with photosynthesis but they are responsible for reproduction.
- It acts as an object to attract birds. NO. The birds look for colourful flowers while cones are woody.
- It serves as an ornamental object on the tree. NO. Every part of plants has more important function than serving as an ornamental object.

On your first trip to Planet X you happen to take along a 180 g mass, a 40-cm-long spring, a meter stick, and a stopwatch. You'r

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

g_x = 3.0 m / s^2

Explanation:

Given:

- Change in length of spring [email protected] = 22.6 cm

- Time taken for 11 oscillations t = 19.0 s

Find:

- The value of gravitational free fall g_x at plant X:

Solution:

- We will assume a simple harmonic motion of the mass for which Time is:

T = 2*pi*sqrt(k / m ) ...... 1

- Sum of forces in vertical direction @equilibrium is zero:

F_net = k*x - m*g_x = 0

(k / m) = (g_x / x) .... 2

- substitute Eq 2 into Eq 1:

2*pi / T = sqrt ( g_x / x )

g_x = (2*pi / T )^2 * x

- Evaluate g_x:

g_x = (2*pi / (19 / 11) )^2 * 0.226

g_x = 3.0 m / s^2

The weight of a block on the inclined plane is 500 N and the angle of incline is 30 degrees. What is the magnitude of the force

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

250 N

433 N

Explanation:

N = Normal force by the surface of the inclined plane

W = Weight of the block = 500 N

f = static frictional force acting on the block

Parallel to incline, force equation is given as

f = W Sin30

f = (500) Sin30

f = 250 N

Perpendicular to incline force equation is given

N = W Cos30

N = (500) Cos30

N = 433 N

An alternator provides 20 A of peak current at 100 V peak AC to a resistive electric heater. How much heating power is delivered

Liono4ka [1.6K]

-- The resistance of the heater is (volts/current) = 5 ohms

-- The heating (RMS) value of a sinusoidal AC is V(peak)/√2 . For this particular alternator, V(peak)=100V, so the heating (RMS) equivalent is 70.71 V.

-- The heating power delivered to the electric heater is (E²/R).

Power = (100/√2)² / 5

Power = 5,000 / 5

Power = 1,000 watts

In the parallel spring system, the springs are positioned so that the 37 N weight stretches each spring equally. The spring cons

Reptile [31]

Answer:

x = 5.29 m

Explanation:

given,

weight of stretch = 37 N

left-hand spring constant (k₁)= 2.7 N/cm

right hand spring constant(k₂)= 4.3 N/ cm

spring are connected in parallel

F = F₁ + F₂

F = k₁x + k₂x

F = (k₁+ k₂)x

37= (4.3+ 2.7)x

7 x = 37

x = 5.29 m
