Why does a magnet attract a steel nail

Physics

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.

Is a spring stores 5 J of energy when its conpresses by 0.5 m what is the spring constant of the spring?

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

k = 40 N/m

Explanation:

A spring's energy is given:

$U = 0.5kx^2$

U is the energy in the spring, k is the spring constant and x is the spring displacement.

We are told that the spring stores 5J of energy, therefore, U = 5J. We are also told that the spring is compressed by 0.5m, so the spring x = 0.5m

$5 J = 0.5k(0.5m)^2\\5J = 0.5k(0.25m^2)\\5J = k*(0.125)m^2\\\\k = 5J/(0.125)m^2\\k = 40 N/m$

k = 40 N/m

Hope this helps!

If Mrs. Reichelt throws a chromebook, because it won't login correctly, with a force of 8N, and the chromebook accelerates at 5m

suter [353]

Answer:

1.6 kg

Step-by-step Solution:

Since Force = mass × acceleration we have:

F = 8N

a= 5 m/s^2

m = ?

By plugging the values above into F=ma we obtain:

$F=ma\\\\8=m(5)\\\\\frac{8}{5}=\frac{m(5)}{5}\\\\m=\frac{8}{5}=1.6$

Therefore, the Chromebook has a mass of 1.6 kilograms.

When you lift an object, you add the energy of lifting to the object.<br> Tor F

PtichkaEL [24]

It's true, when we lift an object we add energy to it.

because, when we lift an object by applying force , the object attains a height and hence the energy gets stored in it, in the form gravitational potential energy .
