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.

How does an inclined plane affect the effort needed to move a load vertically?

VashaNatasha [74]

If we pull an object vertically upwards then we need to apply a force which is equal in the magnitude of the weight of the object

$F = mg$

now when we pull the same object upwards along an inclined plane with angle then we require a force which will balance the component of weight along the inclined

so it is given as

$F' = mgsin\theta$

so as if we compare the two forces we can say that since the value of sine is always less than 1 for an angle less than 90 degree

so in the 2nd case when we pull the object along the inclined plane it will require less effort

so correct answer is

<em>A. reduce effort</em>

Is mass is 88.2 and height of distance is 25m, how do you find speed?

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The velocity will be v = 22.1[m/s]

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the principle of energy conservation, where potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. For this problem we will take the point with maximum potential energy when the body is 25 [m] high. By the time the height is zero, the potential energy will have been transformed into kinetic energy, and we can find the velocity of the body.

$Ep = m*g*h\\where:\\m = mass = 88.2[kg]\\h = elevation = 25[m]\\g = gravity = 9.81 [m/s^2]\\Ep = 88.2*25*9.81 = 21631.05[J]\\$

Now we know that the energy will be transformed.

$Ek=Ep\\Ek=0.5*m*v^{2} \\where:\\v=velocity [m/s]\\v=\sqrt{\frac{Ek}{0.5*m} } \\v=\sqrt{\frac{21631.05}{0.5*88.2} } \\v=22.14[m/s]$
