A compass needle looks north due to earths magnetic field but this is easily disrupted with things such as Magnets.
Kaylis [27]3 years ago

Answer:

A compass needle points north because the north pole of the magnet inside it is attracted to the south pole of Earth's built-in magnet. ... Since unlike poles attract, the thing your compass is being attracted to must be a magnetic south pole.

A ball is thrown upwards at a velocity of 20.2m/s at what time will the ball reach its highest point
Andre45 [30]
Use the equation
vf = vo + a \times t
plug in the variables for the equation. Use 0 for Vf because at the highest point the velocity would be zero. Use -9.8 for acceleration because that is the speed at which gravity pulls down.
0 = 20.2 + ( - 9.8) \times t
your answer would be 2.06122 seconds.

suppose the distance between the sun and the earth were quadrupled. what exactly (numerically) would happen to the gravitational
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The gravitational force between the sun and the earth drops to (1/16) of its original value.

Explanation:

According to the gravitational law, gravitational force between two bodies is directly proportional the product of the masses of the two bodies and inversely proportional to the square of their distances apart.

If the two masses and the other constants of proportionality are held constant, the gravitational force between two bodies is inversely proportional to the square of their distances apart.

F ∝(1/R²)

If the initial gravitational force between the sun and the earth is given by F₀ and the distance between the sun and the earth is R₀.

F₀ = (k/R₀²)

where k is constant regardless of the values of corresponding gravitational forces and distances apart.

Then, let the new distance apart be R₁,

R₁ = 4 R₀

The new gravitational force between the sun and the earth, F₁ will be given by

F₁ = k/(R₁²)

Recall, R₁ = 4 R₀

F₁ = k/(4R₀)² = k/16(R₀²) = F₀/16

Hence, the gravitational force between the sun and the earth drops to (1/16) of its original value.

The first law of thermodymaic stae the <br> 5ktiopheuithkjhuiguihaoitg
pentagon [3]

I'm assuming you want the first law of thermodynamics.

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that heat is a form of energy and cannot be created or destroyed. It can, however, be transferred from one location to another and can be converted into other forms of energy.
