Krystal is exploring the properties of iron. She takes a large iron nail and finds that the nail does not attract other metal ob

RideAnS [48]

Explanation:

Iron has tiny magnetic domains inside it. Each domain acts like a tiny magnet with its own magnetic field. These domains are randomly distributed thus resulting in zero magnetic field and iron doesn't behave like a magnet.

When a copper wire is wound around the nail and current is passed through the coil, magnetic field is generated. This magnetic field penetrates through the nail. Due to this the magnetic domains of the nail align in the same direction thus having a net magnetic field. The nail behaves like a magnet till the time current flows through the coil.

kvasek [131]

Answer: $1361.11\ N/C,\text{upward}$

Explanation:

Given

Mass of particle is $m=2.5\ gm$

Charge of particle is $q=18\ \mu C$

Electrostatic force must balance the weight of the particle

$\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n \Rightarrow mg=qE\\\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{2.5\times 9.8\times 10^{-3}}{18\times 10^{-6}}\\\\\Rightarrow E=1361.1\ N/C$

Direction of the electric field is in upward direction such that it opposes the gravity force.

Suppose one night the radius of the earth doubled but its mass stayed the same. What would be an approximate new value for the f

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

g' = g/4

Explanation:

The value of the free-fall acceleration at the surface of the earth, can be obtained applying Newton's 2nd law, assuming that the only force acting on an object at the surface of the earth, is the one produced by the mass of the Earth, i.e. gravity.
This force can be expressed according the Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation , as follows:

$F_{g} = G*\frac{m_{x} *m_{E} }{r_{E}^{2} } (1)$

From Newton's 2nd Law, we have:
$F = m* a (2)$
Since the left sides in (1) and (2) are equal each other, both right sides must be equal each other also.
Simplifying the mass m, we can write the acceleration a in (2) as the acceleration due to gravity, g, as follows:

$g = G*\frac{m_{E} }{r_{E}^{2} } (3)$

Since G is an universal constant, and the mass mE remains constant, if we double the radius of the Earth, the new value for the acceleration due to gravity (let's call it g'), is as follows:

$g' = G*\frac{m_{E} }{(2r_{E})^{2} } =G*\frac{m_{E} }{4*r_{E}^{2} } = g*\frac{1}{4} =\frac{g}{4} (4)$

According to the diagram, which color of visible light has the shortest wavelength?

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Violet Light

Explanation:

On one end of the spectrum is red light, with the longest wavelength. Blue or violet light has the shortest wavelength. White light is a combination of all colors in the color spectrum. It has all the colors of the rainbow.
