Which area of physics involves using a compass in the woods?

1 answer:

6 0

Magnetism. A compass uses the earth's magnetic field to point in the direction of the north geographic pole (south magnetic pole) the N point on a compass points to the S magnetic pole which is the north geographic pole. It's a little confusing, but it's just opposites.

The earth exerts the necessary centripetal force on an orbiting satellite to keep it moving in a circle at constant speed. Which

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

E) The centripetal force is always perpendicular to the velocity.

Explanation:

Due to gravity and inertia, the satellite follows a uniform circular motion. In this movement, the velocity is always tangent to the orbit and the centripetal force is directed towards the center. Therefore, there is no net acceleration in the same direction of velocity, which implies that it remains constant.

Water flows into a horizontal, cylindrical pipe at 1.4 m/s. the pipe then narrows until its diameter is halved. what is the pres

inna [77]

According to the Bernoulli's equation,the pressure difference between the wide and narrow ends of the pipe is given by

$\Delta P= \frac{1}{2} \rho ( v^2_{2} - v^2_{1} )$

Here, $v_{1}$ is the velocity of water through wide ends of cylindrical pipe and $v_{2}$ is the velocity of water through narrow ends of cylindrical pipe.

Given, $v_{1} =1.4 m/s$

Now from equation continuity,

$v_{1} A_{1} = v_{2} A_{2}$ .

Here, $A_{1}$ and $A_{2}$ are cross- sectional areas of wide and narrow ends of cylindrical pipe.

As pipe is circular, so

$v_{1} \pi r^2_{1} = v_{2} \pi r^2_{2}$ .

At the second point, the diameter is halved, which means the radius is also halved. Therefore,

$v_{1} r^2_{1} = v_{2}(\frac{1}{2} r_{1})^2 \\\\ v_{2} = 4 v_{1}$

$v_{2} = 4 \times 1.4 = 5.6 m/s$

Substituting these values with the density of water is $1000 \ kg/m^3$ in pressure difference formula we get.

$\Delta P= \frac{1}{2} \rho ( v^2_{2} - v^2_{1} )=\frac{1}{2}\times 1000 kg/m^3(5.6^2-1.4^2)\\\\ \Delta P = 14700\ Pa$

Technician A says that the intake and exhaust manifolds have to be removed before removing the engine from the vehicle. Technici

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer: Technician A is correct

Explanation:

The intake manifold is the compactment that all fuel and air supply to the cylinders. It's connected to the engine so it has to be disconnected while the exhaust manifold receives all the exhaust gases from the cylinders and releases the gas through a single or double exhaust gases outlet.

Why do remote controls for TV’s use infrared waves to communicate?

Delvig [45]

Answer: An IR remote (also called a transmitter) uses light to carry signals from the remote to the device so it can be controlled. It emits pulses of invisible infrared light that correspond to specific binary codes. These codes represent commands, such as power on, volume up, or channel down.
