Answer:

An electromagnet is a magnet that runs on electricity. Unlike a permanent magnet, the strength of an electromagnet can easily be changed by changing the amount of electric current that flows through it. The poles of an electromagnet can even be reversed by reversing the flow of electricity.

not captured for use by living things

Explanation:

The sun is a star with a high radiation and most of(around 55-67%) the radiation that reaches the earth is usually reflected back. The earth cannot use all the energy that reaches the earth. It uses almost around 15-30%

the minimum flying speee for a bird called a house martin is 9.0ms^-1. it reaches this speed by falling from its nest before swo

Lilit [14]

Answer:

The nest must be about 4.15 meters above ground

Explanation:

Use the velocity equation under accelerated motion (acceleration of gravity ):

$v_f=v_i+a\,*\,t$

which for this case has initial velocity = 0 (falls from the nest), final velocity = 9 m/s, and a = 9.8 m/s^2, then we can find the time needed in air while falling to reach the required speed:

$v_f=v_i+a\,*\,t\\9=0+9.8\,t\\t=\frac{9}{9.8} \, sec\\t \approx 0.92\,\, sec$

We now use this time value to find the distance covered in free fall during 0.92 seconds:

$d=\frac{1}{2} \,9.8 \,t^2=4.9\,(0.92)^2=4.147 \,meters\approx 4.15\,meters$

A housefly walking across a clean surface can accumulate a significant positive or negative charge. In one experiment, the large

Lisa [10]

Answer:

$4.56*10^8 \text{ electrons.}$

Explanation:

Since the fly accumulated a positive charge of +73pC, it must have lost an equal number of negative charge of -73pC to the surface (because the housefly was neutral to begin with).

Therefore, to answer our question we have to ask ourselves how many electrons combine to make -73pC of charge?

The answer is since one electron carries a charge of $-1.6*10^{-19}C$ , the number $n$ of electrons that make up -73pC $(-73*10^{-12}C)$ are
