Who is invented compass​

Physics
2 answers:
sweet-ann [11.9K]3 years ago
8 0

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.

What is the speed of an object at rest
sammy [17]
The speed of an object is measured by calculating the distance it travels per unit time.
The formula in Physics for calculating speed is = distance/ time.

Since an object at rest is not covering any distance, the speed is always assumed to be 0 m/s.

Help with both questions I’ll mark brainliest
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

(1) A sound wave a mechanical wave because mechanical waves rely on particle interaction to transport their energy, they cannot travel through regions of space that are void of particles. Sound is a mechanical wave and cannot travel through a vacuum. These particle-to-particle, mechanical vibrations of sound conductance qualify sound waves as mechanical waves. Sound energy, or energy associated with the vibrations created by a vibrating source, requires a medium to travel, which makes sound energy a mechanical wave. The answer is(B) it travels in the medium.

(2) An ocean wave is an example of a mechanical transverse wave

The compression is the part of the compressional wave where the particles are crowded together. The rarefaction is the part of the compressional wave where the particles are spread apart. The answer is (C) Compression.

What is the mass of an object that is accelerated at 25 m/s2 by a force of 135 N?
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 5.4 kg</h3>

Explanation:

The mass of the object can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{f}{a}  \\

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

m =  \frac{135}{25}   =  \frac{27}{5} \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>5.4 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you
