The end that is marked with ’N’ will point to the Arctic. The ‘S’ end will point toward the Antarctic. A bar magnet is ‘just’ a big heavy compass needle. The ‘N’ and ‘S’ marking are made to help travelers find their way around the globe.

Yes, it IS confusing to have the ’N’ end of a compass point toward the north axis of the earth. These conventions were well in place LONG before anyone understood that ‘Opposites Attract’. But now that we DO know that ‘Opposites Attract’ we are left with the unfortunate reality of compasses, bar magnets and the earth. There are gazillions of magnets and only one earth! So the ‘convention’ has been made that the magnets are labeled correctly! This means (unfortunately) that the Arctic area of the globe is actually the south end of the earthly magnet. The earth is a giant (but very weak) electromagnetic and the lines of the magnetic field point to the Arctic Regions which is why all out magnets point that way. The magnetic field line dive INTO the earth in the Arctic Regions and OUT of the earth in the Antarctic regions.

I haven’t used the word ‘pole’ here, because magnetic poles don’t actually exist (as far as we know). Every magnet is actually an electromagnetic with electrical charges in motion creating the magnetic field.

An Excerpt from “Optimism”

by Helen Keller

1 Could we choose our environment, and were desire in human undertakings synonymous with

endowment, all men would, I suppose, be optimists. Certainly most of us regard happiness as

the proper end of all earthly enterprise. The will to be happy animates alike the philosopher, the

prince and the chimney-sweep. No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels

that happiness is his indisputable right.

2 It is curious to observe what different ideals of happiness people cherish, and in what singular

places they look for this well-spring of their life. Many look for it in the hoarding of riches, some

in the pride of power, and others in the achievements of art and literature; a few seek it in the

exploration of their own minds, or in the search for knowledge.

3 Most people measure their happiness in terms of physical pleasure and material possession.

Could they win some visible goal which they have set on the horizon, how happy they would be!

Lacking this gift or that circumstance, they would be miserable. If happiness is to be so

measured, I who cannot hear or see have every reason to sit in a corner with folded hands and

weep. If I am happy in spite of my deprivations, if my happiness is so deep that it is a faith, so

thoughtful that it becomes a philosophy of life,—if, in short, I am an optimist, my testimony to

the creed of optimism is worth hearing....

4 Once I knew the depth where no hope was, and darkness lay on the face of all things. Then

love came and set my soul free. Once I knew only darkness and stillness. Now I know hope and

joy. Once I fretted and beat myself against the wall that shut me in. Now I rejoice in the

consciousness that I can think, act and attain heaven. My life was without past or future; death,

the pessimist would say, “a consummation devoutly to be wished.” But a little word from the

fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the

rapture of living. Night fled before the day of thought, and love and joy and hope came up in a

passion of obedience to knowledge. Can anyone who has escaped such captivity, who has felt

the thrill and glory of freedom, be a pessimist?

5 My early experience was thus a leap from bad to good. If I tried, I could not check the

momentum of my first leap out of the dark; to move breast forward is a habit learned suddenly

at that first moment of release and rush into the light. With the first word I used intelligently, I

learned to live, to think, to hope. Darkness cannot shut me in again. I have had a glimpse of the

shore, and can now live by the hope of reaching it.

6 So my optimism is no mild and unreasoning satisfaction. A poet once said I must be happy

because I did not see the bare, cold present, but lived in a beautiful dream. I do live in a

beautiful dream; but that dream is the actual, the present,—not cold, but warm; not bare, but

furnished with a thousand blessings. The very evil which the poet supposed would be a cruel

6) Read the last sentence from the text.

Only by contact with evil could I have learned to feel by contrast the beauty of truth and love and goodness.

Reading the temperature of a solution by using a thermometer is an example of a(n) ________.
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

B. Observation

Explanation:

Using a thermometer to read the temperature of a solution is tantamount to the making an observation.

Observation are recorded using our senses of sight, taste, earing, feeling etc or by the use of instrument.

  • Through observation, data is usually collected to make inferences about an experiment.
  • An observation leads to the formulation of a hypothesis which is scientific guess that leads to experimental designs.
  • Conclusions are drawn from the information of data obtained from an experiment.

At t=0, a block A of mass 8 kg and block B of mass 16 kg are both at position x=0 . Block A is at rest, and block B is moving at
love history [14]

The center of mass of the two objects is the average position of the parts of the two object system

The center of mass of block <em>A</em>, and block <em>B</em>  after displacement of block <em>B</em> is at <u>20 m from block </u><u><em>A</em></u>

<em />

Reason:

The given parameters are;

The position of block A and block B at t = 0 is x = 0

The mass of block A, m₁ = 8 kg

Mass of block B, m₂ = 16 kg

Speed of block <em>A</em> = 0 m/s

Speed of block <em>B</em>, v₂ = 10 m/s

Location of the center of mass of the two object at t = 3 s; Required

Solution;

The location of block <em>A</em>, after 3 s is x₁ = 0 (block A is at rest)

The location of block <em>B</em>, = v₂ × t

The location of block <em>B</em>, after 3 s is x₂ = 10 m/s × 3 s = 30 m

The center of mass of two masses are given as follows;

x_{cm} = \dfrac{m_1 \cdot x_1 +m_2\cdot x_2}{m_1 + m_2}

x_{cm} = \dfrac{8  \times0 + 16 \times  30}{8 + 16} = 20

The center of mass of the two objects is at at the position x = <u>20 m</u> (from block <em>A</em>)

Light in the air is incident at an angle to the surface of (12.0 A) degrees on a piece of glass with an index of refraction of (
Orlov [11]

The question is incomplete. You dis not provide values for A and B. Here is the complete question

Light in the air is incident at an angle to a surface of (12.0 + A) degrees on a piece of glass with an index of refraction of (1.10 + (B/100)). What is the angle between the surface and the light ray once in the glass? Give your answer in degrees and rounded to three significant figures.

A = 12

B = 18

Answer:

18.5⁰

Explanation:

Angle of incidence i = 12.0 + A

A = 12

= 12.0 + 12

= 14

Refractive index u = 1.10 + B/100

= 1.10 + 18/100

= 1.10 + 0.18

= 1.28

We then find the angle of refraction index u

u = sine i / sin r

u = sine24/sinr

1.28 = sine 24 / sine r

1.28Sine r = sin24

1.28 sine r = 0.4067

Sine r = 0.4067/1.28

r = sine^-1(0.317)

r = 18.481

= 18.5⁰
