Plz help me. I need urgent Why a magnetic compass is used to determine direction? Why a nail gets magnetized when kept close to

magnet? Why two pins get attracted by bar magnet maintain distance between ends?

Answer:

Compasses are mainly used in navigation to find direction on the earth. This works because the Earth itself has a magnetic field which is similar to that of a bar magnet. The compass needle aligns with the Earth's magnetic field direction and points north-south. Also, In a magnet all the domains are oriented in the same direction. In the case of a nail, the domains can be aligned in the same direction causing the nail to become magnetic. That is because if you hang a bar magnet from a thread, the north pole will point to magnetic north. When you bring one north pole close to another north pole they repel each other. You can feel the two magnets pushing each other apart.

If your speedometer has an uncertainty of 2.5 km/h at a speed of 92 km/h, what is the percent uncertainty
Elis [28]

Answer:

2.7%

Explanation:

Given:

Uncertainty of the speedometer (u)= 2.5km/h

Speed measured at that uncertainty (v) = 92km/h

Percent uncertainty (p) is given as the ratio of the uncertainty to the speed measured then multiplied by 100%. i.e

p = \frac{u}{v} * 100%

p = \frac{2.5}{92} * 100%

p = 2.7%

Therefore, the percent uncertainty is 2.7%

If the charge on the negative plate of the capacitor is 121 nano-Coulomb, how many excess electrons are on that plate? Write you
Julli [10]

Answer:

n = 756.25 giga electrons

Explanation:

It is given that,

If the charge on the negative plate of the capacitor, Q=121\ nC=121\times 10^{-9}\ C

Let n is the number of excess electrons are on that plate. Using the quantization of charges, the total charge on the negative plate is given by :

Q=ne

e is the charge on electron

n=\dfrac{Q}{e}

n=\dfrac{121\times 10^{-9}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

n=7.5625\times 10^{11}

or

n = 756.25 giga electrons

So, there are 756.25 giga electrons are on the plate. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

See below ~

Explanation:

An object will sink in water when its density is greater than that of water, which is 1 g/cm³.

Volume of the box is <u>1331 cm³</u>. (11³)

Maximum mass of sand will be 1331 g. [because 1331/1331 = 1 g/cm³]

  • Volume of sand = Mass of sand / Density of sand
  • Volume (sand) = 1331/3.5
  • Volume (sand) = 380.29 cm³

If the volume of sand is <u>greater than 380.29 cm³</u>, the box will sink in water.
