Why does a compass work differently on a moon then it would on earth

1 answer:

8 0

A compass would work differently on the moon than the Earth because Earth's magnetic field is between 25,000 and 65,000 NanoTeslas. Whereas, the Moons magnetic field is about 2,500-6,500 and some parts of the moon have nonexistent magnetic fields.

A 9-μC positive point charge is located at the origin and a 6 μC positive point charge is located at x = 0.00 m, y = 1.0 m. Find

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The coordinates of the point is (0,0.55).

Explanation:

Given that,

First charge $q_{1}=9\times10^{-6}\ C$ at origin

Second charge $q_{2}=6\times10^{-6}\ C$

Second charge at point P = (0,1)

We assume that,

The net electric field between the charges is zero at mid point.

Using formula of electric field

$E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}$

$0=\dfrac{k\times9\times10^{-6}}{d^2}+\dfrac{k\times6\times10^{-6}}{(1-d)^2}$

$\dfrac{(1-d)}{d}=\sqrt{\dfrac{6}{9}}$

$\dfrac{1}{d}=\dfrac{\sqrt{6}}{3}+1$

$\dfrac{1}{d}=1.82$

$d=\dfrac{1}{1.82}$

$d=0.55\ m$

Hence, The coordinates of the point is (0,0.55).

Answer:

Explanation:

Samantha walks along a horizontal path in the direction shown the curved path is a semi circle with a radius of 2 m while the horizontal part is for me what is the magnitude of displacement

Displacement is given by the straight line distance between P and Q. Displacement will be length of straight line joining P and Q

a semi circle with a radius of 2 m

Length of this straight line=4+diameter

=4+(2*2)

=8 m

Sandra takes a class field trip to a geology museum. She sees an interesting sample of igneous rock. She wonders if the material

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

It is possible for sedimentary rocks to be converted to igneous rocks. Under conditions of high temperature and pressure, sedimentary rocks can be broken down into igneous rock by melting this rock type.

When the rock is broken down, it forms melt which when cooled and solidifies will form igneous rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are formed from the breaking down of pre-existing rocks through the action of weathering, erosion and sediment transportation. Within a basin, the sediments are compacted and lithified.

When this is subjected to intense pressure and temperature, the rock hardens and might further break down to melt.

Why are household wall sockets alternating current (AC) instead of direct current (DC)? Select all that apply.

Bond [772]

Answer:

It is easier to scale the voltage of AC from high to low and low to high than with DC

Explanation:

typically power is used far away from the place where it's generated so to ensure that transmission losses( copper losses) are minimized voltage has to be stepped up during transmission..but due to the fact that most house hold equipment requires low voltage levels it has to be stepped down once it reaches a household/ domestic load...it's easier to do this for Ac than for DC.

a container of water is knocked off a 10.0 meter high ledge with a horizontal velocity of 1.00 meters/second. calculate the time

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

1.43 s

Explanation:

The time it takes for the container to reach the ground is determined only by the vertical motion of the container, which is a free-fall motion, so a uniformly accelerated motion with a constant acceleration of g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground.

The vertical distance covered by an object in free fall is given by

$S=ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2$
