Fun at partys guy: While the car will actually experience a force torwards the magnet, so will the magnet experience an equal amount of force torwards tha car. Given the connection between the car and the magnet is stiff, these opposing forces will stress the connection and create a reactive force in there according to Newtens 3rd law, ultimatly canseling the forces out and neither the car nor the magnet will move.
If you however remove the stiff connection, the car and the magnet will move torwards each other untill they meet.
How about if you launch a huge magnet well above escape velocity and remotely anchor a space elevator made from a ferromagnetic material to it but the space elevator’s weight counteracts its inertia exactly and holds it in place perpetually. Would that work?
It needs to rotate unless it’s a superconductor.
Also a magnet that size would mess up navigation equipment for miles
Give us a chance to practice using our sextant collection tho
gee, you must be fun at parties (/s if it weren’t obvious enough)
Would that be at the hing of the arm? Where would the event horizon or epicenter be of that?
what if you just attach a second magnet to the car so that it pulls the first magnet forwards?
Then you have the same mechanism used in toy wood trains.
It will work fine of your intention is to secure the arm so that it won’t dangle when you drive
Why not just use rope instead of a magnet? You wouldn’t need the extra metal on the front if you did that and would save weight.
Try pulling yourself by the nose.
It’s working! I’m moving!
I hit 60mph and am like 20 miles from my house. Why would you tell me to do that?
At least you didn’t pull upwards like I did. Glad the ceiling was there or it could’ve been much worse.
Ow. Now what?
Does it move you?
Not very. I prefer Mozart.
Or picking yourself up by your bootstraps.
Because both of the magnet’s poles are pointed at the car and the attraction and repulsion are canceling each other out.
Well, you used aluminum. Good work.
Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer (Jim Button and Lukas the Engine Driver) dit it first:
They even got one step behound: The two rocks you see in the drawing are actually a broken up magnet into it’s north pole and south pole, so it’s only magnetic when they connect the both with a metal rod. Genius. (ofc that’s EXACTLY how magnets work)
I also find it funny how i got introduced to the troll physics meme 20 years before it was called that, as a small child back in the 90s
There are magnetic monopoles, but only in quantum physics.
You moron, that would make the car flip, you need to attach it to the back of your car horizontally
Magneto was right!
Go (back) to school
the car already has metal in it, so the metal block is unnecessary
Adding more metal makes it go faster
Speed holes you say?
because the truck is self-propelled, and it can only go as fast as it takes itself. Therefore the magnet, which is attached to the truck, can only go as fast as the truck takes itself.
Some guy got hit by an apple and went on to ruin the fun for everyone, jerk.
Because it makes the vehicle too long to park in the average garage or driveway.
Finally, an answer that makes sense.
It will, but why do you want the truck to attract the magnet? Are you going to drive backwards everywhere?
This guy gets it
For the same reason why this device does not go left by the metal slab pulling the magnet to the left
