Iron is a magnetic metal, and it is essential to the Earth's magnetic field!
Essentially it "records" (stores the information, maintains) the direction and orientation of the magnetic field.

Among others, the magnetic field protects the Earth from dangerous cosmic rays.

Two identical conducting small spheres are placed with their centers 0.290 m apart. One is given a charge of 12.0 nC and the oth
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Force between two identical conducting ball will be 2.65\times 10^{-5}N                        

Explanation:

We have given there is two identical conducting small spheres having charge q_1=12nC=12\times 10^{-9}C and q_2=-21nC=-21\times 10^{-9}C

Distance between centers of the ball is 0.290 m

So r = 0.290 m

We have to fond the electric force between the balls

According to Coulomb's law force between two charges is given by

F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{q_1_2}{r^2}=\frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2}

So force F=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 12\times 10^{-9}\times 21\times 10^{-9}}{0.293^2}=2.65\times 10^{-5}N

So force between two identical conducting ball will be 2.65\times 10^{-5}N

What is defect of vision​
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The vision becomes blurred due to the refractive defects of the eye. There are mainly three common refractive defects of vision. These are (i) myopia or near-sightedness, (ii) Hypermetropia or far – sightedness, and (iii) Presbyopia. These defects can be corrected by the use of suitable spherical lenses.

Two students hear the same sound and their eardrums receive the same power from the sound wave. The sound intensity at the eardr
Margaret [11]

Answer:

a. d₁/d₂ = 1.09 b. 0.054 mW

Explanation:

a. What is the ratio of the diameter of the first student's eardrum to that of the second student?

We know since the power is the same for both students, intensity I ∝ I/A where A = surface area of ear drum. If we assume it to be circular, A = πd²/4 where r = radius. So, A ∝ d²

So, I ∝ I/d²

I₁/I₂ = d₂²/d₁² where I₁ = intensity at eardrum of first student, d₁ = diameter of first student's eardrum, I₂ = intensity at eardrum of second student, d₂ = diameter of second student's eardrum.

Given that I₂ = 1.18I₁

I₂/I₁ = 1.18

Since I₁/I₂ = d₂²/d₁²

√(I₁/I₂) = d₂/d₁

d₁/d₂ = √(I₂/I₁)

d₁/d₂ = √1.18

d₁/d₂ = 1.09

So, the ratio of the diameter of the first student's eardrum to that of the second student is 1.09

b. If the diameter of the second student's eardrum is 1.01 cm. how much acoustic power, in microwatts, is striking each of his (and the other student's) eardrums?

We know intensity, I = P/A where P = acoustic power and A = area = πd²/4

Now, P = IA

= I₂A₂

= I₂πd₂²/4

= 1.18I₁πd₂²/4

Given that I₁ = 0.58 W/m² and d₂ = 1.01 cm = 1.01 × 10⁻² m

So, P = 1.18I₁πd₂²/4

= 1.18 × 0.58 W/m² × π × (1.01 × 10⁻² m)²/4

= 0.691244π × 10⁻⁴ W/4 =

2.172 × 10⁻⁴ W/4

= 0.543 × 10⁻⁴ W

= 0.0543 × 10⁻³ W

= 0.0543 mW

≅ 0.054 mW

The fluid pressure 10 ft underwater is _____ the fluid pressure 5 ft underwater. A.less than or greater than, depending on what
just olya [345]
<span>I would say greater than because as you do deeper, the pressure strengthens. If you were in a 10 ft deep pool and you dive all the way to the bottom, the ears usually pop. That's because of the pressure. Whereas if you were to go five feet, your ears wouldn't. It depends on the age of the person. Hope this helps.</span>
