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.

Is a battery a resistor
-Dominant- [34]
A battery is a real-life voltage source. A battery can be thought of as a perfect voltage source with a small resistor (called internal resistance) in series. ... The terminal voltage equals the emf minus the voltage drop across the internal resistance (current of the external circuit times the internal resistance.)

Need some help with these two physics problems!
Juliette [100K]

The force that keeps the puck moving is 0.25 N while the velocity of the puck is  3.7 m/s.

<h3>What is the centripetal force?</h3>

We know that the centripetal force is the force that acts on a body that is moving along a circular path. In this case, we are told that the puck is moving along a circular path hence it is acted upon by the centripetal force that acts on it.

The centripetal force in this case would be supplied by the weight of the object that is moving in the circular path. Thus we can write in our equation that;

Centripetal force = Weight of object = mg

m = mass of the object

g = acceleration due to gravity

Then;

W = 0.026 Kg * 9.8 m/s^2

W = 0.25 N

To obtain the velocity of the object;

FT = mv^2/r

v = √ FT r/m

v =  √0.25 * 1.4/0.026

v = 3.7 m/s
