Question

I am doing an experiment, on a magnet falling through a copper tube.

I am investigating, how the does variation of height from which a magnet is dropped through a copper tube, affect the horizontal distance it travels.

I did a demo for 10cm and 20cm, where I released a sphere magnet first at a height of 10cm through a copper tube and released a sphere magnet at a height of 20cm through a copper. tube.

I know that a magnet in general takes a longer time to travel through a copper tube.

When I tested for these two heights, I noticed that at 20cm the magnet takes a shorter time to come out from the copper tube compared to when the magnet is released 10cm and also it has a longer horizontal distance travelled when it's dropped at 20cm compared to the 10cm?

I wanted to ask the Physics and reasoning behind this. Is the KE larger in magnitude to the breaking force when dropped at higher heights? Can someone explain the reasoning the Physics for the observations and data collected?

Answer 1

The answer to the question is 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution, consider the given equation: 5x + 10 = 135. The goal is to isolate x on one side of the equation. First, subtract 10 from both sides of the equation:

5x + 10 - 10 = 135 - 10

5x = 125

Now, to solve for x divide both sides by 5:

Therefore, the value of x is 25.

This equation involves basic algebraic principles. Initially, to isolate (x), the constant term (10) is subtracted from both sides of the equation, resulting in 5x = 125. Next, to solve for (x), divide both sides by the coefficient of (x) (5). Ultimately, (x) is equal to 25, which satisfies the equation (5x + 10 = 135). This method follows standard algebraic operations, providing a clear path to find the value of (x) in the equation.
