Earth's magnetic poles<span> are located near, but not quite exactly at, our planet's </span>geographic poles<span> (the "spin axis" on a globe). Compasses work as direction-finding devices because </span>Earth<span> has a </span>magnetic<span> field. The needle of a compass, itself a small bar </span>magnet<span>, points </span>in the<span> direction of the </span>magnetic pole<span>.</span>

In an experiment refractive index of glass was observed to be 1.45,1.56,1.54,1.44,1.54and1.53. Calculate mean value of refractiv
Sever21 [200]
The mean may be calculated by summing the values of the refractive index and dividing the sum by the number of experiments. This is:
Mean = (1.45 + 1.56 + 1.54 + 1.44 + 1.54 + 1.53)/6
Mean = 1.51

The mean absolute error is the sum of the absolute values of errors divided by the number of trials:
MAE = (|1.45-1.51|+|1.56-1.51|+|1.54-1.51|+|1.44-1.51|+|1.54-1.51|+|1.53-1.51|)/6
MAE = 0.043

The fractional error is the MAE divided by the actual value:
Fractional error = 0.043 / 1.51
Fractional error = 43/1510

The percentage error is the fractional error multiplied by 100:
Percentage error = 2.85%

A 40-W lightbulb is 1.7 m from a screen. What is the intensity of light incident on the screen? Assume that a lightbulb emits ra
Sonja [21]

Answer:

Intensity, I=1.101\ W/m^2

Explanation:

Power of the light bulb, P  = 40 W

Distance from screen, r = 1.7 m

Let I is the intensity of light incident on the screen. The power acting per unit area is called the intensity of the light. Its formula is given by :

I=\dfrac{P}{A}

I=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}

I=\dfrac{40\ W}{4\pi (1.7\ m)^2}

I=1.101\ W/m^2

So, the intensity of light is 1.101\ W/m^2.

You adjust the temperature so that a sound wave travels more quickly through the air. You increase the temperature from 30 degre
katen-ka-za [31]
To calculate the velocity of the sound wave, we use this formula:
V = 331 + [0.6*T], 
Where V is the velocity and T represents temperature.
When the temperature is 36 degree Celsius, we have 
V = 331 + [0.6 * 36]
V = 331 + 21.6 = 352.6 
Therefore, V = 352.6 m/s.
