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.

A ski lift carries a 75.0-kg skier at 3.00 m/s for 1.50 min along a cable that is inclined at an angle of 40.0° above the horizo
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer

given,

mass of the ski = 75 Kg

speed of the skier, v = 3 m/s

time = 1.50 min = 90 s

angle of inclination, θ = 40°

distance = s x t

              = 3 x 90 = 270 m

a) W = F. d cos θ

   W = mg. d cos θ

   W = 75 x 9.8 x 270 x cos 40°

    W = 152021.52 J

work is done by the ski lift is equal to  152021.52 J

b) Power extended by the ski

 Power = \dfrac{Work\ done}{time}

Power = \dfrac{152021.52}{90}

      P = 1689.13 Watt.

power is expended by the ski lift is equal to 1689.13 W.

Two uncharged, conducting spheres are separated by a distance d. When charge −Q is moved from sphere A to sphere B, the Coulomb
rosijanka [135]

Answer: a) the force will be repulsive

b) the ratio of the new force to the old force will be 2

c) O

Explanation:

a) since charge -Q is moved from A to B, this implies that sphere A is negatively charged. The two spheres are now negatively charged and will repel themselves.

b) initial force will be -q(-Q)/d2

Adding extra charge -Q will cause change on B to become -2Q

The new force will be - 2Q(-q)/d2

Dividing new force by old force will give 2

C) if B is neutralized, the net charge becomes 0 and there will be no force on it.

Sladkaya [172]
The main difference between the model of the atom proposed by Greek philosophers and the model proposed centuries later by Dalton is that the Greek one was mainly speculative and philosophical - it wasn't based on real evidence, but on their suggestions and thoughts about the matter. On the other hand, Dalton had the means to prove his theory using viable evidence, not just speculations.
