Question
Chapter 17, Problem 25A
To determine
Why solid block of iron is mostly empty space .
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 25A
Most of the mass of atom is concentrated in nucleus.
Explanation of Solution
Iron consists of atoms .Atoms are mostly empty with its mass concentrated in nucleus .Electrons have a very negligible mass , and nucleons and protons resides in the nucleus .So we can say that the iron block is mostly empty on atomic level.

- CH 57. A 190-g block is launched by compressing a spring of constant k = = 200 N/m by 15 cm. The spring is mounted horizontally, and the surface directly under it is frictionless. But beyond the equilibrium position of the spring end, the surface has frictional coefficient μ = 0.27. This frictional surface extends 85 cm, fol- lowed by a frictionless curved rise, as shown in Fig. 7.21. After it's launched, where does the block finally come to rest? Measure from the left end of the frictional zone. Frictionless μ = 0.27 Frictionless FIGURE 7.21 Problem 57arrow_forward3.
