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 2 kinds of substances does convection occur ?
ch4aika [34]

Liquids and Gases

Explanation:

Convection is a form of heat transfer that is predominant in liquids and gaseous substances. This form of heat transfer is driven by density differences between gases and liquids.

  • Convection involves the actual movement of the particles of a medium.
  • Boiling of food is clinical example of convection in liquids. Hot part of the food in contact with the heat source becomes less dense and more buoyant. They rise to the top of the medium and are replace by the denser and colder part of the food.
  • Land and sea breeze is an example of convection in gases. The land warms the air around it during the day. It is hotter and less dense. The air mass moves to replace the ones on the sea where the air is relatively cold due to high specific heat capacity of water.
  • The reverse process occurs at night.

Find the equivalent resistance Req between terminals a and b if terminals c and d are open and again if terminals c and d are sh
adoni [48]

Answer:

351 ohm

720 ohm

Explanation:

When c and d are open:

Terminals c and d are open.. If you  redraw the circuit as below, you can see that the two resistors in the first  column are in parallel as, they are connected together at both pairs of terminals  (due to the short).

Hence, we have a pair of parallel resistors:

Req1 = (R1*R2)/ (R1 + R2) = 360*540/(360+540) = 216 ohms

Req2 = (R3*R4)/ (R3 + R4) = 180*540/(180+540) = 135 ohms

Now these two sets are  in series with another Hence,

Req = Req1 + Req2 = 216 + 135 = 351 ohms

Answer: 351 ohms

When c and d are shorted:

The current will flow through the least resistant path naturally from resistors R3 and R1 or R4.

Both of these resistor lie in a single path placing the resistors in series to one another, hence

Req = R3 + R1 = 180 + 540 = 720 ohms

Answer:720 ohms

What happens to the electrostatic force between two charged particles if the distance between them is doubled?
Stells [14]

According to Coulomb's Law , The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges. So ,if the distance between the two charges is doubled, the  electrostatic force will become weak by one fourth of the original force.

____ is the detection of halo objects like brown dwarfs when their gravitational fields concentrate the light of distant sources
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Microlensing.

Explanation:

This techniques is called Microlensing.

Microlensing is a method of gravitational lensing where light from a backdrop point of origin is curved to develop distorted, numerous and/or lightened images by the gravity field of a foreground lens.

This method is very effective in discovering planets that are far-far from earth.It is actually an astronomical effect that was predicted by Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.
