Why a magnetic compass is used to determine the direction.

2 answers:

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

Mike is standing on the roof of a building looking at the roof of the neighboring building that is 15 meters away and 10 meters

amid [387]

Answer:

Part a)

$t = 1.65 s$

Part b)

$x = 40.4 m$

Since the distance of other building is 15 m so YES it can make it to other building

Part c)

$v = 27.3 m/s$

direction of velocity is given as

$[tex]\theta = 26.35 degree$

Explanation:

Part a)

acceleration due to gravity on this planet is 3/4 times the gravity on earth

So the acceleration due to gravity on this new planet is given as

$a = \frac{3}{4}(9.81)$

$a = 7.36 m/s^2$

now the vertical displacement covered by the canister is given as

$y = 10 m$

now by kinematics we have

$y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$10 = \frac{1}{2}(7.36)t^2$

$t = 1.65 s$

Part b)

Horizontal speed of the canister is given as

$v_x = 24.5 m/s$

now the distance moved by it

$x = v_x t$

$x = 24.5 (1.65)$

$x = 40.4 m$

Since the distance of other building is 15 m so YES it can make it to other building

Part c)

Final velocity in X direction will remains the same

$v_x = 24.5 m/s$

final velocity in Y direction

$v_y = v_i + at$

$v_y = 0 + (7.36)(1.65)$

$v_y = 12.14 m/s$

now magnitude of velocity is given as

$v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}$

$v = \sqrt{24.5^2 + 12.14^2}$

$v = 27.3 m/s$

direction of velocity is given as

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{v_y}{v_x}$

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{12.14}{24.5}$

$[tex]\theta = 26.35 degree$

A car radio draws 0.27 A of current in the autos 12-V electrical system. (a) How much electric power does the radio use?

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

(a) 3.24 w (b) 44.44 ohm

Explanation:

It is given that car draws 0.27 A current so current I = 0.27 A

The system has a voltage of 12 V

(a) Electrical power = voltage ×current $=12\times 0.27=3.24W$

(b) The resistance is defined as the ratio of voltage and current

So resistance $R=\frac{V}{I}=\frac{12}{0.27}=44.44 ohm$

You are measuring the volume of a chemical beaker how would u take the measurment?

8090 [49]

I think its d because lifting it would make the chemical swish around and that will make it so you cant get the right measurement. hope this helps :)
