F-free = m*g - F_air = m*a

F_air = 1.2 * m

a= (105 kg * 9.8 m.s^2 - 5*105) / 105 kg

a = 9.3 m/s

Hope this helps

A current cannot produce a magnetic field. *<br><br> True or false
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

False, as a magnetic field is generated whenever current travels through a conductor.

An electromagnet consists of a coil of wire wrapped around a bar of iron. The coil and iron bar get magnetized when electric current flows through the wire. An electromagnet also has north and south magnetic poles. The magnetic field is strongest at either pole of the magnet.

What is special about nitrogen, and what is its main function in the atmosphere
Vlad [161]
Nitrogen is the most abundant of the gases present in the atmosphere. 78 percent of the atmospheric air comprises of nitrogen, oxygen makes up for 21 percent and all other gases make up for the remaining one percent. Oxygen is a highly flammable gas and in the absence of nitrogen it would not have been possible to utilize this atmospheric oxygen, hence the presence of nitrogen reduces its flammability and also neutralizes the toxicity of other gases.
