At the end of the school day, the teacher gives each student a compass. She explains that a compass is made of a small piece of

metal called a needle. She also told students that the Earth has a magnetic force around it. She asked students to use what they've learned about electric and magnetic forces to explain why a compass always points north.
Which of the following is the best explanation of why a compass points north?
A.The needle of the compass is likely pulled towards the north because the needle and north area of the Earth are both positively charged, causing an attraction.
B.Since the Earth has a magnetic force, it must attract one end of the needle. The needle likely has an electric force that is affected by the magnetic force of the Earth.
C.Since the Earth has a magnetic force, it must attract one end of the needle. The needle is likely magnetic and has opposite charges on each end
.D.The Earth's magnetic force causes metals, like the needle of a compass, to point north because of the electric force in the needle. They likely repel each other.

A first-order reaction has a half-life of 29.2 s . how long does it take for the concentration of the reactant in the reaction t
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer is: it takes 116,8 seconds to fall to one-sixteenth of its initial value

<span> The half-life for the chemical reaction is 29,2 s and is independent of initial concentration.
c</span>₀ - initial concentration the reactant.

c - concentration of the reactant remaining at time.

t = 29,2 s.<span>
First calculate the rate constant k:
k = 0,693 ÷ t = 0,693 ÷ 29,2 s</span> = 0,0237 1/s.<span>
ln(c/c</span>₀) = -k·t₁.<span>
ln(1/16 </span>÷ 1) = -0,0237 1/s · t₁.

t₁ = 116,8 s.

What are the two variables that affect the electric force between two objects?
givi [52]

Explanation:

The electrical force between two objects is given by the formula as follows :

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}

k is electrostatic constant

q₁ and q₂ are electric charges

d is distance between charges

So, the two force between two charged objects depends on the product of charges and distance between charges.

Absolute zero is what temperature on the fahrenheit scale?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

  • Absolute zero is - 459.67 °F

Explanation:

<u>1) Convert absolute zero to celsius:</u>

  • 0 K = - 273.15°C ( this is per definition of the scale)

<u>2) Convert - 273.15°C to Fahrenheit:</u>

  • T (°F) = T (°C) × 1.8 + 32 (this is the conversion equation=

  • T (°F) = - 273.15 × 1.8 + 32 = - 459.67 °F ← answer
