Magnet Motion

AI Thread Summary

The discussion focuses on the motion of a magnet rolling down an inclined plane and the calculation of the forces involved. Participants seek information on the gravitational force component along the incline, which determines the magnetic force needed to halt the magnet's descent. Questions arise about the duration of the magnet's acceleration and the relevant formulas for calculating magnetic force. Understanding these forces is crucial for analyzing the magnet's motion on the slope. The conversation emphasizes the relationship between gravitational and magnetic forces in this context.

Do you have any information about motion of magnet as it rolls down an inclined plane? Maybe some links. Or how to count the magnetic force which stop magnet?

Thanks in advance

Find the component of the gravitational force along the incline plane. That will equal the magnetic force required to stop it from rolling down the ramp.

how long will the magnet accelerate? Do you know formula on the magnetic force?

Thread 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
