How many degree of freedom does a physical structure have?
Zero. Assuming that the physical structure is FIXED (as in a building or something). It cannot move in the x-direction (sideways), the y-direction (upwards), or be rotated about an axis (z-direction). Take the front wheels of a car, for instance. The can move left and right (x-direction) and can rotate (z-direction), but cannot move upwards.
In space an astronaut hammers nails the hammer moves in one direction and the astronaut moves?
Due to Newton's 3rd law of motion the astronaut would move in the opposite direction unless he/she is braced against something.
What happens if an astronaut hits a large boulder with a hammer in space?
That depends on where He/She is standing: On the moon: Not much different that earth. In a space station: Umm, why is there a boulder in the space station again? Floating in space: He/she would fly backwards and the boulder would move away very slowly. Friction and gravity would keep the person in place on the Earth, moon or space station. However, when they are floating there is no external force. At that point the law of consevation of momentum is in full effect. ( p = m v ) Since the astronaut has a much smaller mass he/she moves more. A similar action-reaction can be seen when firing a standard gun. The bullet has a small mass compared to the person. The bullet moves very fast in one direction while the person only moves a little in the opposite direction.
How do you move the blocks in the ds game of Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings?
just touch it then move the stylus in the direction you want the block to move
In which direction did industries steadily move during the 1800s?
Industries moved west in the 1800s.
What direction will a magnet line up in if it is free to move?
North.
Can a magnet move a car?
A magnet can move a car, if the magnet is strong enough.
What direction would move your slide if an object is on the right which direction do you move the slide to center it?
Left
Do the magnetic lines of force actually exist?
No actual 'lines' exist, but it is a useful way of describing a magnetic field, as it represents the direction the north pole of a magnet would move if it was free to do so.
Can a magnet cause an electric current to flow through a wire?
You obviously cannot more a magnet through a coil in the direction of the current, because the magnet must move, axially, along the length of the coil, while the current moves radially, around the coil. However, if you move a conductor within a coil carrying a d.c. current, then the magnet will induce a voltage into that coil which will oppose the voltage applied to the coil.
When a van with closed doors containing helium balloon floating on it accelerates what happens to helium balloon?
It appears to move in the opposite direction to the motion of the van
What is commulative?
A commulator in electronics is the mechanism used by a motor to change the direction of the current through a magnet. for example servos transmit torque or move based on magnets being in opposition. the rotary magnet, also called the rotor, moves by it's polarity changing, which can be altered by changing the direction of the current through the magnet. hence a commulator is needed in a servo to alter the direction of the current through the magnet to get the rotor to rotate.
What would happen if an ocean current changed it's direction?
Nothing just that it does not move to that direction
How magnet in compass work?
The magnet in a compass is free to move, and will adjust to any external magnetic field.The magnet in a compass is free to move, and will adjust to any external magnetic field.The magnet in a compass is free to move, and will adjust to any external magnetic field.The magnet in a compass is free to move, and will adjust to any external magnetic field.
How would life be without gravety?
we would be floating and if someone would as high as they can, he would be going to space. And we need to hold on something to move, but if we don't hold on some thing we can't move.
Why the iron can make the magnet move?
Because anything that has iron is attracted to magnet so whether its not fully an iron as long as it has iron in it, it can make the magnet move or attract it
What happens to the bar magnet as it nears the U magnet the bar magnet will?
Move towards the U magnet so that the poles attach.
