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 hot–air balloon is moving at a speed of 10 meters/second in the +x–direction. The balloonist throws a brass ball in the +x–dir
IrinaVladis [17]
The ball has an initial speed of 10m/s. This is because it is moving with the balloon. Now the balloonist throws the ball 4m/s with respect to himself, so it means that he gives the ball a extra push of 4m/s, so the total speed is 14m/s. Since it takes 30 seconds to reach the ground, the distance travelled is 14*30=420m.

. A spring has a length of 0.200 m when a 0.300-kg mass hangs from it, and a length of 0.750 m when a 1.95-kg mass hangs from it
kap26 [50]

Answer:

29.4 N/m

0.1  

Explanation:

a) From the restoring Force we know that :  

F_r = —k*x  

the gravitational force :  

F_g=mg  

Where:

F_r is the restoring force .

F_g is the gravitational force

g is the acceleration of gravity

k is the constant force  

xi , x2 are the displacement made by the two masses.

Givens:

<em>m1 = 1.29 kg</em>

<em>m2 = 0.3 kg  </em>

<em>x1   = -0.75 m  </em>

<em>x2 = -0.2 m </em>

<em>g   = 9.8 m/s^2  </em>

Plugging known information to get :

F_r =F_g

-k*x1 + k*x2=m1*g-m2*g

k=29.4 N/m

b) To get the unloaded length 1:  

l=x1-(F_1/k)

Givens:

m1 = 1.95kg , x1 = —0.75m  

Plugging known infromation to get :

l= x1 — (F_1/k)  

= 0.1

A 10-meter long ramp has a mechanical advantage of 5. What is the height of the ramp?
denpristay [2]
<span><span>1.       </span>If the ramp has a length of 10 and has a mechanical advantage (MA) of 5. Then we need to find the height of the ramp.
Formula:
MA = L / H
Since we already have the mechanical advantage and length, this time we need to find the height .
MA 5 = 10 / h
h = 10 / 5
h = 2 meters

Therefore, the ramp has a length of 10 meters, a height of 2 meters with a mechanical advantage of 5.</span>
