IS IT C?

3. Why does the earth have a magnetic declination?

d. the north and south poles are improperly named.

IS IT C?

Dear student,

I can help but not give answers think about tugwar when bothe sides are equally strong the rope won't move but when one side is stronger than another it moves were the strongest energy is......give you idea huh? the last one is simple ( D IS WRONG!)
the poles never shift that's the point of a compass!
compasses would be useless if the poles moved LOl
b is suprisingly wrong ....like what i say "you can use long words and impress me, but it must be right" lts a the rotation of the earth Is NEVER CONSTANT!The Earth's rotation period is not constant. It varies from day to day, by about 222 microsecond/day. That means the sidereal day could be 23h 56m 4.090539 seconds on one day, and 23h 56m 4.090761 seconds the next day. Carrying the number of seconds to 34 decimal places is nonsense.

The mean tropical year, as of January 1, 2000 was 365.2421897 days, or 365 days 5 hours 48 minutes 45.187471 seconds. It gets shorter by 0.531710 seconds per century.

Stellar time is not calculated, it is measured by radio telescopes."

"The Earth's rotation period is not constant. It varies from day to day, by about 222 microsecond/day. That means the sidereal day could be 23h 56m 4.090539 seconds on one day, and 23h 56m 4.090761 seconds the next day. Carrying the number of seconds to 34 decimal places is nonsense."

Does he mean here that the day can be 23 hours 56 minutes and 4.090539 seconds one day and then 23 hours 56 minutes and 4.090761 seconds the next day with or without adjustments to the clock or corrections? Because I made 2 more calculations, another calculation and I calculated that if the sidereal day were to be his first suggestion, 23 hours 56 minutes and 4.090539 seconds, the year would be 365.24220001079142815726241687271711 solar days or 366.24220001079142815726241687271711 sidereal days or 365 days 5 hours 48 minutes and 46.080932379392787472817802758660875 seconds long or 366 sidereal days 5 sidereal hours 48 sidereal minutes and 46.080932379392787472817802758660875 sidereal seconds long. And if the sidereal day length were exactly the other way around, the latter of 23 hours 56 minutes and 4.090761 seconds, the year would be 365.24254465930433525750977476554023 solar days or 366.24254465930433525750977476554023 sidereal days, a little more than the average Gregorian year, or 365 days 5 hours 49 minutes and 15.85856389456624884453974267620778 seconds long or 366 sidereal days 5 sidereal hours 49 sidereal minutes and 15.8585638945662488445397426760778 sidereal seconds long. These were with corrections so therefore they maintain consistency with exactly 24 hours per solar day every time. Intellegent arnt I JK im stupid......and yes i researched this LOL hope this helped

Eevee,

Oh the last one is A

Eevee???? Your on here?

For question 1, you are correct. The answer is indeed d. both forces decrease.

To explain, when two point charges are moved farther apart, the electric force between them decreases due to the inverse square relationship between electric force and distance. The electric force is given by the equation F = k * (q1 * q2) / r^2, where k is the electrostatic constant, q1 and q2 are the magnitudes of the charges, and r is the distance between them. As r increases, the electric force decreases.

Similarly, the gravitational force between two point masses also decreases when they are moved farther apart. The gravitational force is given by the equation F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2, where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses, and r is the distance between them. As r increases, the gravitational force decreases.

For question 2, the answer is not c. 9.0V. To find the potential difference across the entire clock circuit, you need to consider the internal resistance of the batteries. The internal resistance causes a voltage drop within the batteries themselves. Hence, the terminal voltage provided by the batteries is higher than the potential difference across the entire circuit.

Therefore, the correct answer is b. 18.0V. Since each battery provides 9V, and they are connected in series, the potential difference across the entire circuit is the sum of the voltages of each battery.

For question 3, you are correct. The answer is c. its magnetic poles shift over time and are not aligned to its geographical poles.

The Earth's magnetic field is produced by the movement of molten iron within its outer core. This movement is influenced by various factors, including the rotation of the Earth and the interaction between the Earth's magnetic field and external magnetic fields, such as the Sun's magnetic field.

Due to the dynamic nature of the Earth's interior and external influences, the positions of its magnetic poles constantly change over time. This phenomenon is known as magnetic variation or magnetic declination. Magnetic declination refers to the angular difference between true north and magnetic north.

Therefore, the Earth has a magnetic declination because its magnetic poles shift over time and are not aligned to its geographical poles.
