Making an electromagnetic motor

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around constructing an electromagnetic motor capable of lifting heavier objects, specifically pennies, while operating at low voltage (5 to 7 volts). The creator is using two magnets and 2 meters of wire, seeking advice on minimizing friction and maximizing weight capacity. There is some confusion about whether the project is focused on building a motor or an electromagnet. The goal is to design a system that effectively lifts weights without exceeding voltage limits that could damage the wires. The conversation emphasizes the importance of selecting the right materials for the frame and axle to enhance performance.

Hi, a partner and I are making an electromagnetic motor run however is there a way for it to pick up heavier objects? We've been given 2 metres of wire, two magnets and we're trying to establish a way that the motor can pick up the most amount of weight without going over 6 or 7 volts.
Thanks in advance!

I find this a bit confusing. Are you making an electromagnet or a motor?
 
I'm actually supposed to be making a motor however I am making a motor run by the use of two magnets. I will be joining an axle to it to lift pennys up. I'm just not sure what i can use as a frame or an axle to reduce friction or to lift the best amount of weight (pennys) by only using around 5 or 6 volts. ( 9 volts might chew up the wires)
Thanks!
Corey

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}...

Thread 'Struggle to understand the concept of the 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...
