How does a compass, which contains a magnetized needle, tell direction?

Physics
1 answer:
slavikrds [6]3 years ago
7 0
<h2>Answer::</h2>

A compass works by detecting and responding to the Earth's natural magnetic fields. The Earth has an iron core that is part liquid and part solid crystal, due to gravitational pressure. It is believed that movement in the liquid outer core is what produces the Earth's magnetic field.','.

True or False: If a point charge has electric field lines that point into it, the charge must be positive.
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

If a point charge has electric field lines point into it,then charge must be negative because electric lines point into negative charges and point out of positive charges

Item 19 A student with arms outstretched stands on a platform that is rotating with a constant angular speed. The student then p
nadezda [96]

Answer:

An increase in angular speed due to conservation of energy priciple.

Explanation:

This leads to a decrease in your moment of inertia. This means that your angular velocity must increase as a result of conservation of energy principle and therefore you will spin faster.

It's also the same way this conservation of energy principle applies to ice skaters that makes them spin faster when they suddenly draw their arms inwards.

If you were to find 2 fossils, give the reasons for the way you might be able to tell which fossil is older?
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Relative Dating

Explanation:

Relative dating is used to determine a fossils approximate age by comparing it to similar rocks and fossils of known ages. Absolute dating is used to determine a precise age of a fossil by using radiometric dating to measure the decay of isotopes, either within the fossil or more often the rocks associated with it.

A .183 kg ball is moving 18.8 m/s when it runs into a spring of spring constant 86.9 N/m. How much KE does the ball have when it
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The value is  KE_B  = 20.59 \  J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the ball is  m  =  183 \  kg

   The initial  speed of the ball is  u  =  18.8 \  m/s

    The spring constant is  k  =  86.9 \ N/m

     The compression distance is  x =  0.520 \ m

Generally the energy stored in the string is mathematically represented as

        E =  \frac{1}{2}  *  k  * x^2

=>     E =  \frac{1}{2}  *  86.9  * 0.520 ^2

=>      E =   11.75 \  J

Generally the kinetic energy of the ball is mathematically represented as

          KE_b  =  \frac{1}{2} * m * u^2

=>      KE_b  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  0.183 * (18.8 )^2

        KE_b  = 32.34 \  J

Generally the KE   the ball have when it has compressed the spring is mathematically represented as

          KE_B  =  KE_b -  E

=>        KE_B  =  32.34 - 11.75

=>        KE_B  = 20.59 \  J
