The magnet rotates so that one of its ends points toward the earth's north magnetic pole.
From most places on earth, that direction is roughly comparable to true north.
Chain switch is an old term for identifying the chain or string that hung from light bulbs that illuminated rooms in homes of the past. Light bulb sockets equipped with a "chain switch" or pull line of metal beads and a string can still be purchased at local hardware stores.
The ends of the two pins represent two poles of the same polarity, which means they repel each other.
Actually, they point at the magnetic north and south poles. The Magnetic North Pole is currently somewhere north-east of Canada. The naming of the poles on a magnet is confusing. The north pole would actually be better called the north seeking pole. Answer. Because the Earth itself acts like a massive magnet with its south pole at the Magnetic North Pole and vice versa. Remember 'like poles repel, unlike poles attract'.
According to the mathematics and physics of the simple pendulum hung on a massless string, neither the mass of the bob nor the angular displacement at the limits of its swing has any influence on the pendulum's period.
Mistletoe is often hung over doors to bring good luck.

The string handle was originally added so that the box could be hung on a Christmas tree or a house plant.

No. Magnetic compasses weren't invented yet. He probably used a lodestone, which is a magnetic rock hung on a string.
The permanent magnet always retains its magnetism so even the smallest temporary magnets will stick to it. its uses will include keeping the refrigerator door sealed nice and tight as well as the actual door being a permanent magnet so pictures and notes to the kids can be hung on it.
hung up by a string in a jar of formaldehyde – fixes the tissue, preserving it from decay and firming it to make it easier to handle.
no... your hung on a rope or string or something that holds you one of the sports that is illegal is BASE jumping.
because it was used to hang on the Christmas tree as an ornament
Magnetism is the force with which objects are attracted or repelled to one another. Usually these objects are metals such as iron. Every magnet has two poles. This is where most of its magnetic strength is most powerful. These poles are called north and south or north-seeking and south seeking poles. The poles are called this as when a magnet is hung or suspended the magnet lines up in a north - south direction. When the north pole of one magnet is placed near the north pole of another magnet, the poles are repelled. When the south poles of two magnets are placed near one another, they also are repelled from one another. When the north and south poles of two magnets are placed near one another, they are attracted to one another. The attraction repelling of two magnets towards one another depends on how close they are to each other and how strong the magnetic force is within the magnet. The further apart of the magnets are the less they are attracted or repelled to one another.
it is hung on hung on i think unless its hang then it could be both
A plumb line is a weighted string which when hung from a fixed point and allowed to become motionless, indicates perpendicular to level. Perfect for aligning vertically that first piece of wallpaper.
