Why does a compass point towards earths geographic North Pole

Physics
2 answers:
kakasveta [241]2 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 !

Technician A says that the governor is used to measure vehicle speed in a hydraulically-controlled automatic transmission. Techn
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Both technicians are correct

Explanation:

In automobiles, governors are being used. Governors are also known for speed limiters as they can regulate and measure the speed of the automobile.

Hydraulic Transmission: Shifting is controlled by mechanical sensors according to vehicle speed and throttle position/manifold vacuum through valving operated by hydraulic 'pilot' signals.

Electronic Transmission: Shifting is controlled by an on-board computer that receives signals from electronic sensors.

The singing of an opera singer caused a drinking glass to shatter. Explain this using what you know about resonance.
rusak2 [61]

Explanation:

Resonance: Resonance is the phenomenon which occurs when the applied frequency on the object is equal to its natural frequency.

In the given problem, the singing of an opera singer caused a drinking glass to shatter.

This occurs due to the phenomenon resonance. The applied frequency of the singing of an opera singer on the drinking glass matches with the natural frequency of the drinking glass. It causes a glass to shatter.

An electric bulb is marked 40volts ,230w another bulb is marked 40w,110v
Andrej [43]

Answer:

a. The ratio of their resistance is 2783:64

b. The ratio of their energy is 4:23

c. The charge on the first bulb is 5.75 C

The charge on the second bulb is 0.\overline {36} C

Explanation:

The voltage on one of the electric bulbs, V₁ = 40  volts

The power rating of the bulb, P₁ = 230 w

The voltage on the other electric bulbs, V₂ = 110 volts

The power rating of the bulb, P₂ = 40 w

a. The power is given by the formula, P = I·V = V²/R

Therefore, R = V²/P

For the first bulb, the resistance, R₁ = 40²/230 ≈ 6.96

The resistance of the second bulb, R₂ = 110²/40

The ratio of their resistance, R₂/R₁ = (110²/40)/(40²/230) = 2783/64

∴ The ratio of their resistance, R₂:R₁ = 2783:64

b. The energy of a bulb, E = t × P

Where;

t = The time in which the bulb is powered on

∴ The energy of the first bulb, E₁ = 230 w × t

The energy of the second bulb, E₂ = 40 w × t

The ratio of their energy, E₂/E₁ = (40 w × t)/(230 w × t) = 4/23

∴ The ratio of their energy, E₂:E₁ = 4:23

c. The charge on a bulb, 'Q', is given by the formula, Q = I × t

Where;

I = The current flowing through the bulb

From P = I·V, we get;

I = P/V

For the first bulb, the current, I = 230 w/40 V = 5.75 amperes

The charge on the first bulb per second (t = 1) is therefore;

Q₁ = 5.75 A × 1 s = 5.75 C

The charge on the first bulb, Q₁ = 5.75 C

Similarly, the charge on the second bulb, Q₂ = (40 W/110 V) × 1 s = 0.\overline {36} C

The charge on the second bulb, Q₂ = 0.\overline {36} C.

d. The question has left out parts

An initially stationary object experiences an acceleration of 6 m/s2 for a time of 15 s. How far will it travel during that time
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

s = s₀ + v₀t + ½at²

s = 0 + 0(15) + ½(6)(15²)

s = 675 m

Not sure what the free fall acceleration is needed for, but if the object is dropped from a high enough point, it will travel in 15 seconds

s = ½10(15²) = 2250 m  if air resistance is ignored

A box of mass 12 kg is at rest on a flat floor. The coefficient of static friction between the box and floor is 0.42. What is th
vladimir2022 [97]

As we know that friction force on box is given by

F_s = \mu_s N

here we know that

N = mg

here we have

m = 12 kg

\mu_s = 0.42

so now we have

N = 12(9.8) = 117.6 N

now we will have

F_s = 0.42(12)(9.8)

F_s = 49.4 N

so it required minimum 49 N(approx) force to move the block
