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 !

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

0.661 m/s²

Explanation:

g = MG / r²

g = (1.31×10²² kg) (6.67×10⁻¹¹ m³/kg/s²) / (1.15×10⁶ m)²

g = 6.61×10⁻¹ m/s²

g = 0.661 m/s²

Two instruments produce a beat frequency of 5 Hz. If one has a frequency of 264 Hz, what could be the frequency of the other ins
Lerok [7]

Answer:

259 Hz or 269 Hz

Explanation:

Beat: This is the phenomenon obtained when two notes of nearly equal frequency are sounded together. The S.I unit of beat is Hertz (Hz).

From the question,

Beat = f₂-f₁................ Equation 1

Note: The frequency of the other instrument is either f₁ or f₂.

If the unknown instrument's frequency is f₁,

Then,

f₁ = f₂-beat............ equation 2

Given: f₂ = 264 Hz, Beat = 5 Hz

Substitute into equation 2

f₁ = 264-5

f₁ = 259 Hz.

But if the unknown frequency is f₂,

Then,

f₂ = f₁+Beat................. Equation 3

f₂ = 264+5

f₂ = 269 Hz.

Hence the beat could be 259 Hz or 269 Hz
