Referring to the diagram above, predict what will happen when the switch is closed. explain your answer.

Answer

The nail will become an electromagnet.

Explanation

When the switched is closed , a current will flow in the insulated wire. Then the current flows through the coil around the iron nail, it will induce am magnetic filed inside the nail.  The nail becomes a magnet because it is made of magnetic material.  As long as there is current flowing through the current, there nail will remain a magnet.

answer; equivalent to a one(1) horsepower motor;

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
