Why does a compass point towards earths geographic North Pole

Physics
2 answers:
kakasveta [241]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

2) Earth’s geographic North Pole is close to the magnetic south pole.

3) Magnets allowed to move freely align themselves to point north.

5) The north pole on a compass is attracted to Earth’s magnetic south pole.

Hope this helped:)

It doesn't. It points to the Earth's MAGNETIC pole. There's only a very small part of the Earth's surface where the geographic pole is in exactly the same direction, and there are places where there's a huge difference. For example, I've worked in parts of Alaska where compasses point WEST !

A parachutist with a camera, both descending at a speed of 10.8 m/s, releases that camera at an altitude of 50 m. In this proble
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

The velocity of the camera is 33.11 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 10.8 m/s

Altitude = 50 m

Suppose determine the velocity of the camera just before it hits the ground?

We need to calculate the velocity of the camera

Using equation of motion

v^2=u^2+2gs

Where, v = final velocity of camera

u = initial speed of camera

s = distance

Put the value into the formula

v^2=(-10.8)^2+2\times(-9.8)\times(-50)

v=\sqrt{1096.64}

v=33.11\ m/s

The direction will be downward so it is the negative velocity.

Hence, The velocity of the camera is 33.11 m/s.

What is the magnitude and direction of the electric field atradiaConsider a coaxial conducting cable consisting of a conductingr
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

 E = 9.4 10⁶ N / C ,     The field goes from the inner cylinder to the outside

Explanation:

The best way to work this problem is with Gauss's law

             Ф = E. dA = qint / ε₀

 

We must define a Gaussian surface, which takes advantage of the symmetry of the problem. We select a cylinder with the faces perpendicular to the coaxial.

The flow on the faces is zero, since the field goes in the radial direction of the cylinders.

The area of ​​the cylinder is the length of the circle along the length of the cable

         dA = 2π dr L

          A = 2π r L

They indicate that the distance at which we must calculate the field is

         r = 5 R₁

         r = 5 1.3

         r = 6.5 mm

The radius of the outer shell is

         r₂ = 10 R₁

         r₂ = 10 1.3

         r₂ = 13 mm

         r₂ > r

When comparing these two values ​​we see that the field must be calculated between the two housings.

Gauss's law states that the charge is on the outside of the Gaussian surface does not contribute to the field, the charged on the inside of the surface is

         λ = q / L

         Qint = λ L

Let's replace

      E 2π r L = λ L /ε₀

       E = 1 / 2piε₀  λ / r

Let's calculate

         E = 1 / 2pi 8.85 10⁻¹²  3.4 10-12 / 6.5 10-3

         E = 9.4 10⁶ N / C

The field goes from the inner cylinder to the outside

What is the final velocity, in meters per second, of a freight train that accelerates at a rate of 0.085 m/s2 for 7.5 min, start
Llana [10]

Answer:

v_f=41.65\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The final velocity is given by the following kinematic equation:

v_f=v_0+at

Here, v_0 is the initial velocity, a is the body's acceleration and t is the motion time. We have to convert the time to seconds:

7.5min*\frac{60s}{1min}=450s

Now, we calculate the final velocity:

v_f=3.4\frac{m}{s}+(0.085\frac{m}{s^2}(450s))\\v_f=41.65\frac{m}{s}
