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.

A coin released at rest from the top of a tower hits the ground after falling 1.5 s. What is the speed of the coin as it hits th
Reptile [31]

Initial speed of the coin (u)= 0 (As the coin is released from rest)

Acceleration due to gravity (a) = g = 9.81 m/s²

Time of fall (t) = 1.5 s

From equation of motion we have:

\boxed{ \bf{v = u + at}}

By substituting values in the equation, we get:

\longrightarrow v = 0 + 9.81 × 1.5

\longrightarrow v = 14.715 m/s

\therefore Speed of the coin as it hits the ground/Final speed of the coin = 14.715 m/s

A stunt cyclist needs to make a calculation for an upcoming cycle jump. The cyclist is traveling 100 ft/sec toward an inclined r
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:A=23.57^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given

velocity=100 ft/s

height of landing zone=10 ft

Equation of x(t)=100 t\cos (A)

y(t)=-16t^2+100t\sin (A)+10

Maximum height=35 feet

at maximum height

\frac{\mathrm{d} Y}{\mathrm{d} t}=0

\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=-32t+100\sin A

t=3.125\sin A

At t=3.125\sin A

Y(t)=35=-16\times (3.125\sin A)^2+100\times 3.125\sin A\times \sin A+10

312.5\sin^2 A-156.25\sin^2 A=25

sin^2 A=0.16

A=23.57^{\circ}

The resultant motion is given by pithagoras, since the two components (north and east) are perpendicular to each other.
They are asking you about the direction so you have to use trigonometry, finding that the direction is Ф=arctan(3.8/12)=17.57° north of east.

In this lab you will use a cart and a track to explore Newton's second law of motion. You will vary two different variables and
Savatey [412]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Newtons II law: </em>

<em>     </em>It  is defined as<em> "the net force acting on the object is a product of mass and acceleration of the body"</em> . Also it defines that the <em>"acceleration of an object is dependent on net force and mass of the body".</em>

Let us assume that,a string is attached to the cart, which passes over a pulley along the track. At another end of the string a weight is attached which hangs over the pulley. The hanging weight provides tension in the spring, and it helps in accelerating the cart. We assume that the string is massless and no friction between pulley and the string.

Whenever the hanging weight moves downwards, the cart will accelerate to right side.

<em>For the hanging weight/mass</em>

When hanging weight of mass is m₁ and accelerate due to gravitational force g.

           Therefore we can write F = m₁ .g

and the tension acts in upward direction T (negetive)

        Now, Fnet = m₁ .g - T

                          = m₁.a

So From Newtons II law<em> F =  m.a</em>
