5. A nail contains trillions of electrons. Given that electrons repel from each other, why do they not then fly out of the nail?

Answer:

Nails are made of iron. Iron consists of 26 protons and 26 electrons. protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged, so this force of attraction keeps the electrons together.

If electrons repel from each other, the positively charge protons and nucleus allow them to move in a definite orbit and prevent them flying out of the nail.

The U.S. Department of Energy had plans for a 1500-kg automobile to be powered completely by the rotational kinetic energy of a
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

230

Explanation:

\omega = Rotational speed = 3600 rad/s

I = Moment of inertia = 6 kgm²

m = Mass of flywheel = 1500 kg

v = Velocity = 15 m/s

The kinetic energy of flywheel is given by

K=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}6\times 3600^2\\\Rightarrow K=38880000\ J

Energy used in one acceleration

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}1500\times 15^2\\\Rightarrow K=168750\ J

Number of accelerations would be given by

n=\dfrac{38880000}{168750}\\\Rightarrow n=230.4

So the number of complete accelerations is 230

Lorenzo is making a prediction. “I learned that nonmetals increase in reactivity when moving from left to right. So I predict th
nadezda [96]
That prediction is not correct because Xenon is extremely stable; column 18 of the periodic table contains the noble gasses, which are stable because their outer-most energy levels are completely filled. Having the octet (8) of valence electrons means that the element no longer needs to lose or gain electrons to gain stability.

The column 17 elements are unstable because they only have one valence electron short of the stable octet configuration of the noble gasses.

A camera gives a proper exposure when set to a shutter speed of 1/250 s at f-number F8.0. The photographer wants to change the s
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

F4.0

Explanation:

To obtain a shutter speed of 1/1000 s to avoid any blur motion the f-number should be changed to F4.0 because the light intensity goes up by a factor of 2 when the f-number is decreased by the square root of 2.

Lidia plans an experimental investigation to see how the thickness of a lens affects the point where a beam of light is focused.
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The type of light and the material of lenz.

Explanation:

1) As the investigation is based on how the thickness of a lens effect the other variable. Thickness of the lenz is independent variable. So Lidia has to experiment with the different thicknesses in order to find the effect on dependent variable.

2) As the investigation is based to find the point where the beam of light is focused. It's a dependent variable and Lidia has no control over it. So the only thing she can do is to measure and observe how it respond to the changes in independent variable.

3) For conclusion, she has to make sure that the other variables are not effecting the output or results that is the beam point where the light is focused. So she must have to kept constant the type of light and material of lenz otherwise she won't be able to discriminate the effect of thickness of lenz from other causes.

Energy conservation with conservative forces: Two identical balls are thrown directly upward, ball A at speed v and ball B at sp
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

E) True.   Ball B will go four times as high as ball A because it had four times the initial kinetic energ

Explanation:

To answer the final statements, let's pose the solution of the exercise

Energy is conserved

Initial

          Em₀ = K

          Em₀ = ½ m v²

Final

         Emf = U = mg h

         Em₀ = emf

        ½ m v² = mgh

        h = v² / 2g

For ball A

         h_A = v² / 2g

For ball B

        h_B = (2v)² / 2g

        h_B = 4 (v² / 2g) = 4 h_A

Let's review the claims

A) False. The neck acceleration is zero, it has the value of the acceleration of gravity

B) False. Ball B goes higher

C) False  has 4 times the gravitational potential energy than ball A

D) False.  It goes 4 times higher

E) True.
