describe how you can use a compass needle to determine the direction of a magnetic field at a given location

Solnce55 [7]

The compass doesn’t give you the value of the net magnetic field, just the direction. So, how do you get the magnitude of a particular field from this? The trick is to assume the value of the Earth’s magnetic field and the direction of the compass. Let’s assume that at this location on the Earth, the magnetic field is pointing directly North with a horizontal component of about 2 x 10-5 T.

Now suppose that I do something to create a magnetic field in a known direction and perpendicular to the horizontal component of the Earth’s magnetic field. Here is an example where I put a current carrying wire right over the compass needle. Since the compass is underneath the wire, the magnetic field due to the wire will be 90° to the Earth’s magnetic field.

Mercury has one of the lowest specific heats. This fact added to its liquid state at most atmospheric temperatures make it effec

UNO [17]

The specific heat of mercury is 149.4 J/(kgK)

Explanation:

When a substance is supplied with an amount of energy Q, its temperature increases according to the equation:

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mC_s}$

where

$\Delta T$ is the increase in temperature

m is the mass of the sample

$C_s$ is its specific heat capacity

For the sample of mercury in this problem we have

Q = 275 J

m = 0.450 kg

$\Delta T = 4.09 K$

Therefore, by re-arranging the equation we find the mercury's specific heat:

$C_s = \frac{Q}{m\Delta T}=\frac{275}{(0.450)(4.09)}=149.4 J/(kgK)$

A rubber ball and a steel ball are dropped from the same height onto a concrete floor. They have the same mass, and lets assume

Mkey [24]

Answer:

The average forces would be the same

Explanation:

Both have the same velocity on impact as they fell from the same height.

Both have the same velocity after the bounce because they reach the same height.

Both have the same mass

Both will thus experience the same impulse because both have the same change in momentum.

Therefore both experience the same average force.

What is the velocity of an 80 kg person skating across the ice with a kinetic energy of 16, 000 joules?

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

V = 20 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 80kg

Kinetic energy = 16,000 joules

To find the velocity;

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}$

Where;

K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

16000 = ½*80*V²

16000 = 40V²

V² = 16000/40

V² = 400

Taking the square root of both sides, we have;

V = 20 m/s
