I would say yes, a magnetic reversal a threat to life on Earth. Base on articles, it is the end of the world if that happens. <span>Some people believe global cataclysm will occur when Earth's magnetic poles reverse. When north goes south, they say, the continents will lurch in one direction or the other, triggering massive earthquakes, rapid climate change and species extinctions.</span>
Answer:
(a) the force is 8.876 N
(b) the magnitude of each charge is 4.085 μC
Explanation:
Part (a)
Given;
coulomb's constant, K = 8.99 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²
distance between two charges, r = 10 cm = 0.1 m
force between the two charges, F = 15 N
when the distance between the charges changes to 13 cm (0.13 m)
force between the two charges, F = ?
Apply Coulomb's law;

Part (b)
the magnitude of each charge, if they have equal magnitude

where;
F is the force between the charges
K is Coulomb's constant
Q is the charge
r is the distance between the charges

The kinetic energy is

The time lapse between when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo is 0.05 s.
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Velocity of sound (v) = 343 m/s
Distance (x) = 8.42 m
Time (t) =?
We can obtain obtained the time as illustrated below:
v = 2x / t
343 = 2 × 8.42 / t
343 = 16.84 / t
Cross multiply
343 × t = 16.84
Divide both side by 343
t = 16.84/343
t = 0.05 s
Thus, the time between when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo is 0.05 s.
<h3>
How does a bat know how far away something is?</h3>
A bat emits a sound wave and carefully listens to the echoes that return to it. The returning information is processed by the bat's brain in the same way that we processed our shouting sound with a stopwatch and calculator. The bat's brain determines the distance of an object by measuring how long it takes for a noise to return.

Correction question:
A bat emits a sonar sound wave (343 m/s) that bounces off a mosquito 8.42 m away. How much time elapses between when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo? (Unit = s)
Answer:
(i) W = 8.918 N
(ii) 
(iii) d = 9.1 cm
Explanation:
Part a)
As we know that weight of cube is given as


here we know that



now the mass of the ice cube is given as

now weight is given as

Part b)
Weight of the liquid displaced must be equal to weight of the ice cube
Because as we know that force of buoyancy = weight of the of the liquid displaced

So here volume displaced is given as



Part c)
Let the cube is submerged by distance "d" inside water
So here displaced water weight is given as



so it is submerged by d = 9.1 cm inside water
