Answer:

Magnetic materials have many spinning, unpaired electrons.

Explanation:

Any moving electric charge creates a magnetic field, also electrons since they spin and move around the nucleus. However, if two electrons are paired on the same orbital they always spin in opposite directions that causes their magnetic field to cancel out. Even if there are unpaired electrons in some atoms and these atoms act as small magnets, the magnetic field of the neighbouring atoms can have different directions and they also cancel out each other. Only presence of a large number of unpaired electrons in a material can create a significant magnetic field. This is the root part of the definition of magnetic properties of material.

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

3.71 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, since we are neglecting minor energy losses due to friction then we can express it as $mgh=0.5mv^{2}$ since all the potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy

Making v the subject of the formula then $v=\sqrt {2gh}$ and here m is the mass of the block, g is acceleration due to gravity, h is the height. Substituting 0.7 m for h and 9.81 for g then we obtain that $v=\sqrt {2\times 9.81\times 0.7}=3.705941176 m/s\approx 3.71 m/s$
