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.

A 0.25-kg ball attached to a string is rotating in a horizontal circle of radius 0.5 m twice every second, what is the tension i

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

T = 19.75 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of ball = 0.25 Kg

radius = 0.5 m

frequency = 2 s⁻¹

tension in the string = ?

angular velocity

ω = 2 π f

ω = 2 π x 2

ω = 12.57 rad/s

tension on the string is equal to the centripetal force

T = m ω² r

T = 0.25 x 12.57² x 0.5

T = 19.75 N

Tension in the string is equal to T = 19.75 N

A car travels 60 miles due West first then turns back and travels 120 miles due East in 3 hours. What is...

ella [17]

Answer:

<h2>A. 180 miles</h2><h2>B. 60 miles</h2><h2 />

Explanation:

In this problem, we are required to solve for the total distance that the car travelled. and the displacement

A) the distance travelled by car

this can be gotten by summing all the distances the car has travelled.

i,e total distance= 60 miles+120 miles

total distance= 180 miles

B) the displacement of the car

the displacement can be gotten by subtracting the final distance from the initial distance

final distance = 120 miles

initial distance= 60 miles

displacement= 120-60= 60 miles

Compare the energy consumption of two commonly used items in the household. Calculate the energy used by a 1.40 kW toaster oven,

andrew-mc [135]

Energy = (power) x (time)

-- <u>For the toaster:</u>

Power = 1.4 kW = 1,400 watts

Time = 5.4 minutes = 324 seconds

Energy = (1,400 W) x (324 s) = 453,600 Joules

-- <u>For the CFL bulb:</u>

Power = 11 watts

Time = 10.5 hours = 37,800 seconds

Energy = (11 W) x (37,800 s) = 415,800 Joules

-- The toaster uses energy at 127 times the rate of the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb uses energy at 0.0079 times the rate of the toaster.

-- The toaster is used for 0.0086 times as long as the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb is used for 116.7 times as long as the toaster.

-- The toaster uses 9.1% more energy than the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb uses 8.3% less energy than the toaster.
