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 (see the picture below). The compass needle aligns with the Earth's magnetic field direction and points north-south.

Answer:

the magnetic compass is used to determine direction because it is one of the most accurate form of magnet as we already know that a freely suspended magnet always faces towards north direction and south direction

The following chart provides the pH of some common foods. How many would be considered basic?
Yuri [45]

The ones with pH greater than 7

Explanation:

A pH scale is a scale for expressing the level of acidity or alkalinity of aqueous solutions.

This scale is called a pH or pOH scale. The pH is the common one.

pH of a solution is the negative logarithm to base 10 o the hydrogen ion concentration of the solution.

  • The scale ranges from 1 through 14.
  • An acidic solution has a pH value less than 7. Neutral solutions have pH of 7 and basic solutions have pH greater than 7.

Can someone please help me with science.
alekssr [168]

Answer:

The answers to your questions are given below

Explanation:

22. The energy of an electromagnetic wave and it's frequency are related by the following equation:

E = hf

Where:

E => is the energy

h => is the Planck's constant

f => is the frequency

From the equation i.e E = hf, we can conclude that the energy of a wave is directly proportional to it's frequency. This implies that an increase in the frequency of the wave will lead to an increase in the energy of the wave and also, a decrease in the frequency will lead to a decrease in the energy of the wave.

23. Gamma ray and radio wave are both electromagnetic waves. All electromagnetic waves has a constant speed of 3×10⁸ m/s in space.

Thus, gamma ray and radio wave have the same speed in space.

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that air is blowing at 2 m/s.An a mosquito eat lunch.If mosquito want to eat lunch he have to move opposite to the direction of air because air is blowing at 2 m/s.So we can say that mosquito have to move against the air.

But in we have to protect our self from mosquito because if any mosquito bite us then it may lead to fever .So the protection is very important from mosquito .

Therefore the answer is --
