Which of the following is not true about simple magnets?

63% Answer Correctly

same poles repel each other

opposite poles repel each other

opposite poles attract each other

all of these are untrue


Solution

Simple magnets have two poles, north and south, and opposite poles attract each other (N attracts S, S attracts N). Likewise, the same pole of two magnets repel (N repels N, S repels S). The Earth has a magnetic field and North and South Poles which enables the use of a magnetic compass to determine direction.

5

Which of the following is the formula for work?

47% Answer Correctly

\(W = {\vec{F} \over \vec{d} }\)

\(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)

\(W = {F}{d}\)

\(W = {{F}\over{d}}\)


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meter (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
