While Steve is trekking in the Rocky Mountains, he realizes that he does not have a compass. He decides to find north direction

at twelve noon. Which of these methods should he try?
A) locate the position of the Pole Star in the sky
B) face the Sun directly and observe the direction of his shadow
C) blow upon some dry grass to determine the direction of the wind
D) pour some water on the ground and observe the direction of its flow

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The Sun's shine comes from right above the Equator. The Equator is south from the Rocky Mountains, so the sunshine comes from south and the shade (the opposite direction of the sun) is north.

Is a process that modifies light waves so they vibrate in a single plane
madam [21]

The process you're fishing for is "polarization", but that's a

misleading description.

Polarization doesn't do anything to change the light waves. 

It simply filters out (absorbs, as with a polarizing filter) the

light waves that aren't vibrating in the desired plane, and

allows only those that are to pass.

The intensity of a light beam is always reduced after

polarizing it, because much (most) of the original light

has been removed.

A laser light source may be thought of as an exception,

since everything coming out of the laser is polarized.

Why are there so few working wave power stations?
Bond [772]
Well mostly because it's for oceans and lakes that have waves. so if you don't live near any of these, you wouldn't be getting power. <span />

A charge is divided q1 and (q-q1)what will be the ratio of q/q1 so that force between the two parts placed at a given distance i
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

q / q_{1} = 2, assuming that q_{1} and (q - q_{1}) are point charges.

Explanation:

Let k denote the coulomb constant. Let r denote the distance between the two point charges. In this question, neither k and r depend on the value of q_{1}.

By Coulomb's Law, the magnitude of electrostatic force between q_{1} and (q - q_{1}) would be:

\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k\, q_{1}\, (q - q_{1})}{r^{2}} \\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q\, q_{1} - {q_{1}}^{2})\end{aligned}.

Find the first and second derivative of F with respect to q_{1}. (Note that 0 < q_{1} < q.)

First derivative:

\begin{aligned}\frac{d}{d q_{1}}[F] &= \frac{d}{d q_{1}} \left[\frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q\, q_{1} - {q_{1}}^{2})\right] \\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, \left[\frac{d}{d q_{1}} [q\, q_{1}] - \frac{d}{d q_{1}}[{q_{1}}^{2}]\right]\\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1})\end{aligned}.

Second derivative:

\begin{aligned}\frac{d^{2}}{{d q_{1}}^{2}}[F] &= \frac{d}{d q_{1}} \left[\frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1})\right] \\ &= \frac{(-2)\, k}{r^{2}}\end{aligned}.

The value of the coulomb constant k is greater than 0. Thus, the value of the second derivative of F with respect to q_{1} would be negative for all real r. F\! would be convex over all q_{1}.

By the convexity of \! F with respect to \! q_{1} \!, there would be a unique q_{1} that globally maximizes F. The first derivative of F\! with respect to q_{1}\! should be 0 for that particular \! q_{1}. In other words:

\displaystyle \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1}) = 0<em>.</em>

2\, q_{1} = q.

q_{1} = q / 2.

In other words, the force between the two point charges would be maximized when the charge is evenly split:

\begin{aligned} \frac{q}{q_{1}} &= \frac{q}{q / 2} = 2\end{aligned}.

Ramesh announced in class: ''Yesterday I had fever and my body temperature was 100 degrees.'' Ravi said: ''We learnt in the last
pogonyaev

Answer:

D. Ramesh and Ravi are correct, but they are using different measurement scales.

\Huge{\underline{\textrm{Explanation}}}Explanation

Here, Ravi says that his body temperature is 100 degrees, but does not mention that whether it is 100 degrees Celsius or 100 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature of a human body is more than 100.4 degree Fahrenheit (38°C), or near to it, the person is considered to have fever.

The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius and not 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

Thus, they both are using different measurement scales.
