Why does a magnet attract a steel nail

Answer:

The nail will stick to the bar magnet because it will become magnetized, and it's metal. The presence of the nearby north pole rearranges the magnetic domains inside the steel so that their south poles all point toward the north pole of the permanent magnet. As a result, the other end of the nail becomes a north pole.Magnets attract iron due to the influence of their magnetic field upon the iron. ... When exposed to the magnetic field, the atoms begin to align their electrons with the flow of the magnetic field, which makes the iron magnetized as well. This, in turn, creates an attraction between the two magnetized objects.

What is the wavelength of light that is deviated in the first order through an angle of 13.1 ∘ by a transmission grating having

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The wavelength of light is $4.53\times10^{-7}\ m$

Explanation:

Given that,

Angle = 13.1°

Number of slits = 5000

We need to calculate the wavelength of light

Diffraction of first order is defined as,

$d \sin\theta=n\lambda$ .....(I)

The separation of the slits

$d = \dfrac{1}{N}$

$d=\dfrac{1}{5000}$

$d=2\times10^{-6}\ m$

Now put the value in equation (I)

$2\times10^{-6}\sin13.1^{\circ}=\lambda$

Here, n = 1

$\lambda=4.53\times10^{-7}\ m$

Hence, The wavelength of light is $4.53\times10^{-7}\ m$

What is the intensity in W/m2 of a laser beam used to burn away cancerous tissue that, when 85.0% absorbed, puts 470 J of energy

Advocard [28]

Answer:

26036485.6433 W/m²

Explanation:

E= Energy = 470 J

t = Time = 4 seconds

d = Diameter = 2.6 mm

Power is given by

$P=\dfrac{E}{t}$

Intensity is given by

$I=\dfrac{P}{\pi r^2}\\\Rightarrow 0.85I=\dfrac{E}{t\dfrac{\pi}{4} d^2}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{470}{0.85\times 4\times \dfrac{\pi}{4}\times (2.6\times 10^{-3})^2}\\\Rightarrow I=26036485.6433\ W/m^2$

The intensity of the laser beam is 26036485.6433 W/m²

1. The mass defect of iron-56 is 0.52875 amu. What is the energy equivalent of this mass?

Delvig [45]

Answer:

Hello! Your answer is BELOW

Explanation:

1.About 91.754% of all iron is iron-56. Of all nuclides, iron-56 has the lowest mass per nucleon. With 8.8 MeV binding energy per nucleon, iron-56 is one of the most tightly bound nuclei.

2.The atomic weight of lead is quite variable in nature because the three heaviest isotopes are the stable end-products of the radioactive decay of uranium (238U to 206Pb and 235U to 207Pb) and thorium (232Th to 208Pb).

3.Mass defect for uranium-238 is 3.983 × 10-25 kg.

4.Energy and Mass Are Relative

The equation E = mc^2 states that the amount of energy possessed by an object is equal to its mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light.

Hope I helped! Ask me anything if you have any questions. Brainiest plz!♥ Hope you make a 100%. Have a nice morning! -Amelia♥
