Explain how a compass works using scientific terminology.

Physics
2 answers:
Salsk061 [2.6K]2 years ago

Answer:

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.

Answer:

The natural magnetic fields of the Earth are detected and responded to by a compass. Due to gravitational pressure, the Earth's iron core is partially liquid and partly crystallized. The Earth's magnetic field is thought to be created by movement in the liquid outer core. The Earth's magnetic field, like all other fields, has two poles: north and south. However, even though the geographic and magnetic poles are slightly offset from one another, the compass can still be an extremely useful tool for navigation, especially when declination is taken into account to account for the slight polar differences.

2. A solution that contains a small amount of salt and a large amount of water is said to be a _______ solution.
koban [17]
2. A dilute solution means that the amount of solvent (water, for this particular case) is significantly larger than the solute (salt). Thus, the answer is D. 6. John Dalton's atomic theory states that matter is made up of tiny indestructible objects called matter. The theory also indicates that although same elements have the same atoms, each element have unique set atoms that deinfe them. From this, we can conclude that the wrong assumption is C. 9. Atoms, by default, are electrically neutral. When an atom loses or gains electron/s, then they become ionized atoms or commonly called as ions. Thus, ionized atoms imply unequal number of protons and electrons. This means the answer must be A. 11. Analgesics are commonly used to relieve pain. Thus, the answer is C. 14. Adding up the atomic mass of the individual atoms will give you the molar mass of a compound. Therefore, the answer is B.: 15. The pH scale provides us the alkalinity or acidity of a solution based on the value. A value between 0 to 6 indicates that the solution is acidic. 7 is considered neutral and a value between 7 and 14 indicates that the solution is basic. Thus, the answer is D. 19. An element has consistent properties and can no longer be further identified into having individual properties. Thus, the answer is A. 20. The valence of an element dependeds on the number of electrons on the outermost shell. Thus, it is equal to the number of charge negative or positive charges on the ion. Hence, we have A<span>. :</span>

While moving a box 10.0 m across the floor, Sam pushes with a force of 150 N to the right. The force friction acting on the box
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:required formula is

W 1=F*S

W1=work done by Sam =?

F=force applied by sam=150N

S=displacement =10m

again

W2=F*S

W2=work done by friction =?

S=displacement =10m

F=friction =25N

W=W1-W2=net work done

please feel free to ask if you have any questions
