Why does a magnet attract a steel nail

Physics
1 answer:
SVEN [57.7K]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Explain how atoms of elements form molecules, compounds and mixtures.
katrin2010 [14]

An element is composed of millions of atoms and a compound is composed of molecules. When an atom reacts with another atom, a molecule is formed.

For example, if sodium reacts with chloride, it forms sodium chloride (Common salt). Here, sodium and chloride are elements and sodium chloride is a molecule. In this way, millions of atoms of sodium reacts with chloride and forms common salt.

Again, when the common salt is mixed with other compounds such as water, it forms a mixture.

A 97.6-kg baseball player slides into second base. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the player and the ground is μk =
Mila [183]

Answer:

v=6.65m/sec

Explanation:

From the Question we are told that:

Mass m=97.6

Coefficient of kinetic friction  \mu k=0.555

Generally the equation for Frictional force is mathematically given by

 F=\mu mg

 F=0.555*97.6*9.8

 F=531.388N

Generally the  Newton's equation for Acceleration due to Friction force is mathematically given by

 a_f=-\mu g

 a_f=-0.555 *9.81

 a_f=-54455m/sec^2

Therefore

 v=u-at

 v=0+5.45*1.22

 v=6.65m/sec

A toy gun uses a spring to project a 5.9-g soft rubber sphere horizontally. The spring constant is 8.0 N/m, the barrel of the gu
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Stored energy in spring = 1/2 k x² , k is spring constant , x is compression.

= 1/2 x 8 x (5.7 x 10⁻²)²

= 129.96 x 10⁻⁴ J

Energy lost due to friction = force x distance

= .035 x .17

= .00595 J

Energy used in providing kinetic energy to projectile.  

129.96 x 10⁻⁴  - .00595

.012996 - .00595

= .007046 J

So

1/2 m v² = .007046

v² = .007046  x 2 / .0059

= 2.3885

v = 1.545 m /s

A 10-kg object is pushed across a rough surface. It begins at rest and accelerates to a speed of 4 m/s in a distance of 5m. Whic
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Explanation:

Unbalanced Force according to newton's second law is the one which causes  the object to move or break its state of rest on application of force.

Here the object accelerate to a speed of 4 m/s and moves a distance of 5 m on application of force .

Thus we can say that the applied force is unbalanced in nature.
