The magnetic north pole changes location but the geographic north pole does not true or false
a_sh-v [17]
The North Magnetic Pole is the point on the surface of Earth's Northern Hemisphere at which the planet's magnetic field points vertically downwards (in other words, if a magnetic compass needle is allowed to rotate about a horizontal axis, it will point straight down). There is only one location where this occurs, near (but distinct from) the Geographic North Pole and the Geomagnetic North Pole. So yes true

1. What is the major function of the pons? 
         -Other than serving as a conduction pathway, the pons also contains a nucleus that is essential for breathing.
2.  Why is the medulla the most vital part of the brain?       
         -Medulla is very important because it function for the involuntary movement and processes that happen in the body without giving a thought about it. It performs crucial tasks like regulating the blood pressure.

(a) What is the minimum width of a single slit (in multiples of λ ) that will produce a first minimum for a wavelength λ ? (b) W
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The minimum value of width for first minima is λ

The  minimum value of width for 50 minima is 50λ

The  minimum value of width for 1000 minima is 1000λ

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = λ

For D to be small,

We need to calculate the minimum width

Using formula of minimum width

D\sin\theta=n\lambda

D=\dfrac{n\lambda}{\sin\theta}

Where, D = width of slit

\lambda = wavelength

Put the value into the formula

D=\dfrac{n\lambda}{\sin\theta}

Here, \sin\theta should be maximum.

So. maximum value of \sin\theta is 1

Put the value into the formula

D=\dfrac{1\times\lambda}{1}

D=\lambda

(b). If the minimum number  is 50

Then, the width is

D=\dfrac{50\times\lambda}{1}

D=50\lambda

(c). If the minimum number  is 1000

Then, the width is

D=\dfrac{1000\times\lambda}{1}

D=1000\lambda

Hence, The minimum value of width for first minima is λ

The  minimum value of width for 50 minima is 50λ

The  minimum value of width for 1000 minima is 1000λ

On my science test, there is a bonus question that I want to get right. Why would it be a bad idea to skydive on the moon? Hint:
eduard

Answer:

Because there is no air resistance

Explanation:

When an object falls on Earth, there are essentially two forces acting on it:

- The force of gravity, downward, equal to the weight of the object:

W=mg

where m is the mass and g the acceleration due to gravity

- The air resistance, F, which acts upward, and whose magnitude is generally proportional to v, the speed of the object

When the object starts its fall, its initial speed is zero: v = 0, so the air resistance is also zero: F=0, and the object accelerates downward due to gravity.

However, as it accelerates downward, its speed increases, and so does the air resistance F. However, F is upward, opposite to the direction of motion, therefore it reduces the net acceleration of the object; at a certain point, the magnitude of the air resistance will become equal to the weight, so that

mg = F

and at that point, the net acceleration of the object will become zero: this means that the object will continue its fall at a constant velocity, called terminal velocity.

On the Moon instead, there is no air resistance: this means that for an object falling down, the speed keeps increasing due to the effect of gravity, and it will never reach a terminal value: therefore, the final velocity at the impact will be much higher than on the Earth, if we assume the two objects have been dropped from a very high altitude from the surface.
