What the difference between geographic north pole and magnetic north pole

Physics
2 answers:
Sergeeva-Olga [200]3 years ago
6 0

Right now (late 2015), the difference is about 256 miles.

The geographic north pole is the point where the north end of the
Earth's rotation axis sticks out of the ground.  As long as the Earth
continues to spin on the same 'pencil', the geographic poles don't move.

The magnetic north pole is the point on Earth that magnetic compasses
point to.  The magnetic poles are the result of the flowing, shifting liquid
iron in the Earth's core, and they move.  The magnetic north pole is presently
somewhere in the Canadian Arctic territory, about 256 miles south of the
geographic pole, and moving westward towards Russia at about 35 miles a year.

The geographical north pole is the position of the north pole according to maps whereas magnetic north pole is the magnetic field described in physics with the exact location and coordinate of it.

The speed of sound at room temperature (20 degrees Celsius) is 343 m/s. If the speed of sound in air increases about 0.60 m/s fo
stepan [7]

Answer:

36,67 degrees Celsius

Explanation:

The simplest way to approach this problem, given the information provided, is to simply start with the speed difference.

Goal: 353 m/s

Start: 343 m/s (at 20 degrees Celsius).

Difference: 10 m/s

Variation rate: 0.60 m/s/d (d = degree)

d = \frac{10 m/s}{0.60 m/s/d}  = 16,67 d

So, 16,67 degrees more than the starting point.

The temperature will then be 36.67 degrees Celsius, when the sound travels at the speed of 353 m/s.

Two parallel plates of area 2.34*10-3 M2 have 7.07*10-7C of charge placed on them. A6.62*10-5C charge q1 is placed between the p
ira [324]

Answer:

The force exerted on the q_1 is  F =  2.25*10^{3} \ N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The area is  A =  2.34*10^{-3} \ m^2

     The magnitude of charge placed on them is  q =  7.07 * 10^{-7} C

     The charge placed between the plate is q_1 = 6.62 *10^{-5} C

   

The electric field generated around the plate  is mathematically represented as

           E =  \frac{q}{A \epsilon_o}

Substituting values

          E =  \frac{7.07*10^{-7}}{2.34*10^{-3} * 8.85 *10^{-12}}

         E = 34*10^{6} \ V/m

The force exerted the charge q_1 is  mathematically represented as

        F =  q_1 * E

Substituting values  

        F =  6.62 *10^{-5} * 34*10^{6}

        F =  2.25*10^{3} \ N
