Krystal is exploring the properties of iron. She takes a large iron nail and finds that the nail does not attract other metal ob

jects. Next, she uses a battery and copper wire to transform the nail into an electromagnet. When she connects the circuit, the nail becomes magnetic and can pick up small metal objects like paper clips. This is shown in the illustration below.
What best describes what has happened to the iron in the nail that causes it to become magnetic?

Explanation:

Iron has tiny magnetic domains inside it. Each domain acts like a tiny magnet with its own magnetic field. These domains are randomly distributed thus resulting in zero magnetic field and iron doesn't behave like a magnet.

When a copper wire is wound around the nail and current is passed through the coil, magnetic field is generated. This magnetic field penetrates through the nail. Due to this the magnetic domains of the nail align in the same direction thus having a net magnetic field. The nail behaves like a magnet till the time current flows through the coil.

The 9-inch-long elephant nose fish in the Congo River generates a weak electric field around its body using an organ in its tail
Alik [6]

Answer:

1.34\cdot 10^{-16} C

Explanation:

The strength of the electric field produced by a charge Q is given by

E=k\frac{Q}{r^2}

where

Q is the charge

r is the distance from the charge

k is the Coulomb's constant

In this problem, the electric field that can be detected by the fish is

E=3.00 \mu N/C = 3.00\cdot 10^{-6}N/C

and the fish can detect the electric field at a distance of

r=63.5 cm = 0.635 m

Substituting these numbers into the equation and solving for Q, we find the amount of charge needed:

Q=\frac{Er^2}{k}=\frac{(3.00\cdot 10^{-6} N/C)(0.635 m)^2}{9\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2}}=1.34\cdot 10^{-16} C

Which statements describe both male and female reproductive systems? Check all that apply. A:The reproductive system produces ho
Scilla [17]

Answer: A:The reproductive system produces hormones.

B:The reproductive system transports reproductive cells.

C:The reproductive system produces reproductive cells.

Explanation:

A:The reproductive system produces hormones. : The reproductive organs ovaries in females and testes in males produces hormones. The ovaries produce estrogen and progesterone and testes produce testosterone.

B:The reproductive system transports reproductive cells. : The ovaries in females transfers an egg into the fallopian tube and testes in males secrete sperms at the time of copulation the fertilization of egg and sperm leads to the development of zygote the precursor of new life.

C:The reproductive system produces reproductive cells.: The ovaries undergo oogenesis and in testes spermatogenesis takes place to develop egg and sperms respectively.

Which statement correctly describes the reactivity of noble gases, according to the octet rule? Their atoms have eight electrons
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The correct option is : Their atoms have eight electrons in their valence shells, so noble gases are very unreactive.

Explanation:

The octet rule state that atoms tend to complete their last energy levels with eight electrons, and that this configuration make them very stable and unreactive.

Noble gases are characterized as unreactive atoms, and this is associated with the fact that they have a complete valence shell, it means that they have eight electrons on it (they follow the octet rule).

Atoms with less electrons on their valence shells tend to react with another atom, forming bonds, to complete their valence shells (with eight electrons).

Objects 1 and 2 attract each other with a gravitational force of 179 units. If the distance separating objects 1 and 2 is change
yaroslaw [1]

Explanation:

Fgravity = G*(mass1*mass2)/D²

G is the gravitational constant throughout the universe.

D is the distance between the 2 objects.

the distance is now quadrupled.

Fgravitynew = G*(mass1*mass2)/(4D)² =

= G*(mass1*mass2)/(16D²) =

= (G*(mass1*mass2)/D²) / 16 = Fgravity/16

the new gravitational force will be 179/16 = 11.1875 units
