Who is invented compass​

Physics

Answer:

A Chinese Geomancer

 Explanation:

The compass was invented in China during the Han Dynasty between the 2nd century BC and 1st century AD where it was called the "south-governor" or "South Pointing Fish" (sīnán 司南). The magnetic compass was not, at first, used for navigation, but for geomancy and fortune-telling by the Chinese.

However, it is believed Flavio Gioia first invented the refined compass, and a monument has been erected in Almafi Italy to honor his invention. The magnetic compass was probably developed by combining the wind rose and the lodestone. From this device, it is supposed the compass rose evolved.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

a)   C = 4,012 10⁻¹⁴ F, b)  Q = 1.6 10⁻¹¹ C , c)   U = 3.21 10⁻¹¹ J

Explanation:

a) The capacitance of a capacitor is

       C = k e₀ A / d

Let's calculate

       C = 4 8.85 10⁻¹² 17 10⁻⁴ / 0.150 10⁻²

       C = 4,012 10⁻¹⁴ F

b) let's look  the charge

        C = Q / ΔV

         Q = C ΔV

         Q = 4,012 10⁻¹⁴ 400

         Q = 1.6 10⁻¹¹ C

c) The stored energy

        U = ½ C ΔV²

        U = ½ 4,012 10⁻¹⁴  400²

        U = 3.21 10⁻¹¹ J

A flare is launched from a life raft with an initial velocity of 192 ft/sec. How many seconds will it take for the flare to retu
DIA [1.3K]

We use the formula,

h= ut- 16 t^2

Here, h is the  variable  represents the height of the flare  in feet when it returns to the sea so, h = 0 and u is the initial velocity of the flare, in feet per second and its value of 192 ft/sec.

Substituting these values in above equation, we get

0 = 192 t - 16 t^2  \\\\ 16 t( 12 - t ) =0 \\\\ t = 12 s.

Here, t= 0 neglect because it is  the time when the flare is launched.

Thus, flare return to the sea in 12 s.

When 10 N force applied at 30 degrees to the end of a 20 cm handle of a wrench, it was just able to loosen the nut. What magnitu
fredd [130]

Answer:

<h2>5N</h2>

Explanation:

To get the magnitude of the force would require to just loosen the nut, if the force apply perpendicularly at the end of the handle, we will have to resolve the force perpendicular to the wrench. Torque is the turning effect of a body or force about a point. It is similar to moments.

Torque = Force * radius

Note that the force must be perpendicular to the wrench. On resolving the force perpendicularly to the wrench, we will have to resolve the force to the vertical.

Fy = Fsinθ

Fy = 10sin30°

Fy = 10 * 0.5

Fy = 5N

<em>Torque = Fy * r</em>

<em>Given Fy = 5N and r = 20cm = 0.2m</em>

<em>Torque = 5 * 0.2</em>

<em>Torque = 1Nm</em>

<em />

<em>Hence the magnitude of the force would require to just loosen the nut, if the force apply perpendicularly at the end of the handle is 5N</em>
