Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Global Positioning Systems (GPS) is a system which uses a network of satellites to construct maps. So, that it would be easy to trace location of a person, or to reach over a certain place.

It helps an individual by showing the route of destination wherever he/she wants to reach along with the total time to reach over the place.

Thus, GPS can determine the elevation of a given area and also it can determine latitude and longitude of a given area. As each GPS satellite broadcasts with a high power, narrow bandwidth, down link signal which can be received by our small hand held receiver antenna called mobile phone.

A GPS cannot determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, GPS can determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges is not true about the Global Positioning Systems (GPS).

A typical current in a lightning bolt is 103 a. estimate the magnetic field 9 m from the bolt (in t). (enter the magnitude.)

kifflom [539]

The magnetic field is

$2.288 \times 10 {}^{ - 6} T$

what is magnetic field?

Magnetic field is defined as the relationship between the permittivity of free space,the magnitude of electric current,and distance.

Here is the formula,

$B = \frac{µ0l }{2π R}$

here,

B= magnitude of the magnetic field

l= magnitude of electric current

R=distance

µ0=permittivity of free space

Now,using above formula we can calculate the magnetic field

$B = \frac{µ0l }{2π R}$

$\frac{4\pi \times 10 {}^{ - 7}. \frac{m}{a} \times 103 }{2\pi \times (9m)}$

$= 2.288 \times 10 {}^{ - 6} T$

Thus,the magnetic field is

$= 2.288 \times 10 {}^{ - 6} T$

Air flows upward in the wick of a lantern because of the liquid property called

vovangra [49]

Adhesive.

Adhesive is the force of attraction between molecules of different kind. Liquid flows upward the wick because the adhesive force between the wick and the liquid is higher than cohesive forces in the liquid.

When the adhesive force between the wick and the liquid is high we have capillarity taking place. This cause the liquid to move up the wick.
