Answer:

v= 17.15 m/s

Explanation:

mass of the book=0.1 Kg

height above ground, h= 15 m

Using conservation of energy

Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

v=\sqrt{2gh}

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 15}

v=\sqrt{294}

v= 17.15 m/s

Hence, the book will hit the ground at the speed of 17.15 m/s.

When asked how to create an electromagnet, the best answer would be:
fredd [130]

Answer:

You can create an electromagnet by wrapping an insulated wire around a metal with ferromagnetic properties and applying an electric current."

Explanation:

Electromagnets are made by wrapping an insulated wire around a metal with ferromagnetic properties (example is iron), to form a loop, and then applying a current through the wire. Electromagnets can generate magnetism with a strong force field, and unlike normal magnets, their strength can be varied by varying the amount of current flowing through the coil. Their main disadvantage, which is also their most utilized property is that their magnetism is lost once the current flowing through the wire is cut-off.
