Shanika is an engineer at an amusement park who is experimenting with changes to the setup for a magnetic roller coaster ride. In one ride, there are two identical roller coaster cars (orange and green) that start on opposite sides of a large magnet located at the center of a station. Shanika wants to get the largest increase in potential energy she can by moving one car one space to the left or the right. Shanika can move the orange car to point A or point B, or she can move the green car to point C or point D. Which movement should she make? Why will that movement result in the largest increase in potential energy? Describe the magnetic force that will act on the roller coaster car she moves. What should I do for the Green cart?

Respuesta :

The orientation of the poles of the magnet on the cars and the large

magnet are like poles.

The correct responses are;

First question

  • Move the orange car from A to B
  • Move the green car from D to C

Second question:

  • The reason is reducing the distance increases the magnetic field strength

Third question:

  • It pushes the cars away in the opposite direction.

Fourth question:

  • Place the green car at point C to get the largest potential energy

Reasons:

Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its location.

Energy is a product of force and distance, and therefore, if the force,

experienced by the object increase, the potential energy of the object

increases.

The strength of a magnetic field, B, is given by the formula;

[tex]\displaystyle B = \frac{\mu_0 \cdot I}{2 \cdot \pi \cdot d}[/tex]

Where;

B = The magnetic field strength

I = Current

d = The distance from the source of the magnet

μ₀ = The permeability of free space = 4·π × 10⁻⁷ T m/A

Therefore, the strength of the magnet is higher closer to the source.

First question

In a magnet, like poles push each other back, and given that the poles of the magnet adjacent to each other are like poles, to get the largest increase in she should move the cars towards the large magnet.

  • Move the orange car from A to B
  • Move the green car from D to C

Second question:

The reason why the movement will result in the largest increase in potential energy is because like polls repel each other and the strength of a magnetic field increases closer to the magnet

Third question:

The magnetic force that will act on the roller coaster car moved towards the large magnet, pushes the car in the opposite direction.

Fourth question:

The green cart should be moved from point D to point C to get the largest potential energy
