Investigating Magnetic Train Forces: A Puzzling Inquiry

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the investigation of forces in a magnetic train system, particularly focusing on how these forces relate to velocity and the parameters affecting it. Participants explore the principles of electromagnetic phenomena as they relate to the operation of such trains.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the relationship between force and velocity, questioning how a constant velocity can exist in the presence of forces. They explore the roles of magnetic forces, gravity, and friction, and some participants suggest examining the effects of back-EMF and inertia in the context of the system.

Discussion Status

The discussion is active, with various interpretations being explored regarding the forces at play in the magnetic train system. Some participants have provided insights into the balance of forces and the potential for constant velocity, while others are questioning the assumptions about the forces involved.

Contextual Notes

Participants note the complexity of analyzing the forces due to the interactions between magnetic fields and gravitational forces, as well as the challenges in calculating velocity and other parameters without extensive effort.

But it´s possible right? if i can calculate the magnetic field of the coil, i´d be able to ?

It is not impossible. It is a physical system, it is possible to simulate it. It is just a lot of effort to get it right.
