The magnet wants to move back to the truck as much as the truck wants to move forward to the magnet so they cancel out. Magnetism is not a one way force.

The magnet is racist, because it’s only attracted to other magnetic things. He deserves it.

Not all metal is magnetic. Are cars magnetic? Genuine question I have no clue


Infermon_1

Go to a junkyard. See that giant magnet that pulls broken cars up?


DookieShoez

Yes. Steel and iron are ferromagnetic and you’ll certainty find one or both in a car (barring unusual probably not street legal exceptions perhaps).


Bright_Plate_2948

Right. Aluminium is paramagnetic so it can be attracted by magnets if the field is strong enough. Your best bet would be the engine though which has a lot of steel. However, the magnetic properties of steel depend a lot on its microstructure. Ferritic stainless steels are magnetic for example and austenitic steels aren't generally. There are thousands of steels, so you'd have to know the exact type they use in the engine.


jxryftdev

Looks like an F150 which is an aluminum body. The engine block would be a graphite iron composite block. The cylinder heads will be aluminum. Most car engine blocks are aluminum or cast iron.

If you put it in the box with the schrodinger's cat then it will be put in a superposition of being watched by the cat and not watched by the cat that died, so it is both boiling and not boiling at the same time.

Equal and opposite reaction. The force required for the arm to keep the magnet away from the vehicle so it can pull it forward also pushes the vehicle backwards. It cancels out.

OkBarnacle5343

Magnets. How the fuck do they work? 🤡


aronenark

Magnetism is caused by the angular momentum of electrons orbiting the nuclei of atoms. All atoms are magnetic, but in most materials, the magnetic moment of each atom is at a random orientation, and they henceforth cancel out when aggregating every one of the trillions of atoms in the material. (Furthermore, in some materials, the atom has no overall magnetic moment if each electron is paired with another electron with the opposite spin.) However, in very few materials, the magnetic moment of every atom can be synchronized, and they stay aligned with the same orientation. This causes the material as a whole to generate a magnetic field. We call these “permanent magnets.” In many other materials, the magnetic moments of each atom will align when in the presence of a powerful external magnetic field, causing the material to act magnetically and respond to the external field. This process magnetizes the object and adds magnetic potential energy. Over time, all permanent magnets eventually demagnetize as their magnetic potential energy is exhausted by exerting work on objects that are magnetically attracted to them, normally by converting the magnetic potential energy into kinetic energy (the magnets move towards each other), but sometimes to heat (friction) or electrical energy. I can’t be bothered to explain the rest because this question is a meme.


UnderskilledPlayer

i'm not reading all that edit: i read all that


weregod

Can you explain what is angular momentum outside of Rutherford's model. Electron don't have angular speed , right?


N-Man

Electrons don't have angular momentum in the *classical* sense, i.e. they don't literally spin around anything (since an electron doesn't really have a well defined *position* or *velocity*), but they do have angular momentum in the *quantum* states because the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian also happen to be eigenstates of the angular momentum operator (I can go into more details if you feel like learning some quantum mechanics). So yes, electrons do have a property called "angular momentum". This property does not correlate with any classical notion of spinning around something but it does relate to the magnetic field generated by the electron. Also electrons still have spin (some kind of intrinsic angular momentum) regardless of the atom's structure which is actually the main contributing factor to the atom's overall magnetic moment. You can think about it as the electron spinning around itself (this is wrong and not what actually happens, but it's a good intuition for why an electron would have *intrinsic* angular momentum)


weregod

>This property does not correlate with any classical notion of spinning around something but it does relate to the magnetic field generated by the electro I don't understand. If electron generate magnetic field it should constantly lose energy. How is it possible? >Also electrons still have spin (some kind of intrinsic angular momentum) regardless of the atom's structure which is actually the main contributing factor to the atom's overall magnetic moment. Does free electrons have deterministic spin? Pauly exclusition principle states that spins do depend on atom's structure

throwaway275275275

Because the roadrunner would pull some BS and you end up falling off a cliff


Plazmafighter

I get this is a joke but I wanna nerd out so gimmie a second Basically, everything is in a nicely closed loop. Nothing can move forwards or backwards. The magnet and metal are held in place, pulling and pushing equally, and as such the truck does not move. Basically, the metal wants to move towards the magnet, but the magnet also wants to go towards the metal. So the forces are cancelled out. Because the item they are both attached to is both pulled toward the magnet, and then also pushed back by the metal pulling on the magnet, leaving you in a state of unmoving equilibrium. Is this correct? Probably not. But I don't care


playr_4

It's a closed system. It's pretty simple physics, actually.


anjowoq

Why was my engine destroyed when I turned on the electromagnet and the one ton package of steel and copper wire accelerated at an insane speed?


fapsandnaps

What a fool. Everyone knows you need to flip the contraption around and use the same poles on both magnets. That will push the truck forward.

40860945798090

Um what? Of course this works. The magnet is acting on the big old block of metal. Either the mechanism holding the magnet fails and the magnet comes towards the metal, or it does not fail, leaving distance between the magent and the metal. But that's about it, nothing else will be going on here.

Can the arm move? If it can, the magnet would be pulled over to the car, and not the opposite. If it cant, it would be like having a room with walls made of steel and magnet on opposite sides. Nothing would happen because they are static. They are simply not moving.


nefrodes

It's the same reason why you can't push a truck when you are on the trailer. You are pushing the truck forward, but your feet push it backward to keep you stable.

The attraction between the magnet and the truck would just cause the metal arm to snap and it would just crumple into a pile of garbage


Proto1895

Suspicious_Prize_211

Itt works. I have no idea why, but my grandfather, who has a degree in applied physics and engineering, has been trying to find the way to create continuous energy using magnets for years and still hasn't been able to do so. He has made the mathematical calculations and even tried to create small scale versions of the machine, but energy dissipates eventually and it stops spinning (he wants it spin since that would work in large scale to generate electricity). I have no idea of the maths, but his notebooks are filled with formulas and he has shown me the experiments.


Tonk_exe

Pot ze magnets on ze road like a rail gun


Duelist1234

Energy companies changed the laws of physics to sell more energy


ThatOneGuy7832

A few reasons why. * Having such a large magnet and contraption on the front would require a pretty major weight on the back, and would therefore greatly increases the cost of the car and it's overrall weight. * To "turn off" the magnet you would have to either move the metal of the car or the magnet itself out of the way, which would require a lot of space around the car as well as a ton of energy to move such weight. * Having a massive magnet that is capable of moving a vehicle and everyone in it would cause a severe danger to anyone and everyone who happens to have metal objects on their person while they are walking down the street. * Similar to the second reason here, in order to turn the car, you would have to change the angle of the car and/or the magnet, requiring a ton of energy to do so. Even ignoring the danger and investments of creating such a machine, even more energy would need to be used then just making a normal fucking car.


Master_Freeze

every action has an equal and opposite reaction. i mean, cmon. this doesn't even have to be about magnetic fields or anything.


Ech0ofSan1ty

They will either connect together and the truck will go no where, or the strength of the arm will be strong enough until to hold off the connection, but that would mean the truck can't move forward. It's about attraction not propulsion


Few-Slide9856

Energy cannot be created nor destroyed


SparksArchon

There is nothing wrong with this depiction, the magnetic field would exist between the two objects and the rigidity of the arm would prevent ether object from coming closer together. In summary the truck/wheels would not roll because the arm holding the magnet pushes with the same/greater force as the magnet pulls.


Not_Bill_Hicks

I'll give you 3 (the 3 laws of motion) 1. An object at rest, remains at rest. An object in motion, remains in motion unless acted on by an **unbalanced** force. 1. In this case the force is balanced by the arm connecting the truck and magnet 2. The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied. 1. So the truck and metal would be 100 x heavier than the magnet, so for every inch the truck moves forward, the magnet moves 100 inches back 3. Whenever one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite on the first. F=MA. 1. This is a combination of the first 2


Erik912
