What else can I help you with?
Would a magnetic compass be suitable to be used for space travel?
No. Magnetic compasses work based on the Earth's mantic field, in space there is no magnetic field for the compasses to work with. A different system, possibly similar to Global Positioning System (GPS) might work, call it the Universal Positioning System. On certain rocky planets it could work, but some planets don't have a magnetic field, like Mars. So a traditional magnetic compass wouldn't work in space, or at least it won't get you where you want to go.
Do you need a magnetic compass on the moon?
Because the moon has no magnetosphere - compasses are based on magnetic energy. == ==
Why would magnetic compass not work in space?
A magnetic compass depends on Earth's magnetic field for orientation. In space, there is no magnetic field to interact with, so a magnetic compass would not be useful for navigation. Other orientation systems, like gyroscopes or star tracking sensors, are used instead in space.
What is the magnetic disturbance on the sun's surface called?
These magnetic disturbances are known as magnetic storms.
Could a magnet work on the moon?
Yes. Otherwise Astronauts would NOT be able to hear Mission Control on Earth (earphones / headphones rely on magnets to create sound waves). And yes, magnets work in a vacuum. Light is an Electromagnetic Wave and it travels through space.
What are maglev trains?
# It is a Magnetic Levatation train.
Who made magnetic levatation trains?
martin luther king jr
Is levatation possible?
no.
What does levatation mean?
levitation means to make something float in the air(sort of like making it fly)
Does a magnetic compass work in the desert?
Why not? the desert is just the same as any other place on planet earth. Magnetic compasses work fine in the desert. See the "Where does the magnetic compass not work?" question for some places where they don't work.
How do magnetic sweepers work?
They work by using a magnet.
Why don't magnetic compesses work in space?
There are still magnetic fields in space - especially if you remain close to Earth. But magnetic compasses are usually designed to use gravity, which you won't have if you are in free fall. A specially-designed magnetic compass would work, though.
Does magnetic compass work on the sun?
No, the sun does not have an iron core to generate magnetic poles
Can a static magnetic field do positive work on charged particles?
No, a static magnetic field cannot do positive work on charged particles. Magnetic fields can only do work on moving charged particles by changing their directions of motion or causing them to spiral. Static magnetic fields do not affect stationary charged particles.
How do magnetic car crushers work?
How do magnitized car crushers work?
Why magnetic force not do any work?
Magnetic force does not do any work because it acts perpendicular to the direction of motion of the charged particle. Work is defined as force acting in the direction of motion, and since magnetic force acts perpendicular to the motion, it does not transfer energy to the particle in the form of work.
Do magnetic wrist bands work?
No, they are silly.
