How can a compass help you tell directions?
If they have lodging , many places people go to hike are built facing north so they can locate their way back. For example "the Bristol hiking centre" is built in a woods people hike in. if people get lost they can go there, or they can go just for a cup of coffee.Note:Unless you need GPS accuracy, an ordinary compass can keep you safely oriented in relation to the cardinal points, and perhaps more importantly, it can keep you oriented in relation to your starting point. Under normal conditions, the direction of true north is less important. You need to know the general direction of the nearest highway, or how to get yourself back to your starting point.
If you hang a magnet on a piece of string what would it do?
If you hang a magnet on a piece of string, the magnet will align itself in the magnetic field of the Earth and point in a north-south direction. This is because the magnet is trying to align with the Earth's magnetic field.
What name is given to the compass direction when you are trying to locate an object in the night sky?
The term usually used is "azimuth." It refers to the angular distance between an object and the northern point on the horizon, measured clockwise from the north. It helps locate objects in the night sky by indicating which compass direction to look in.
Do You Think the Magnetic material in a rainbow trouts nose make a strong magnet?
I'm trying to figure out the anwser to the question from you guys who are awnsering these questions?
Although copper and aluminum are not magnetic why is a sheet of either metal more difficult to pass between the pole pieces of a magnet than a sheet of cardboard?
Even though copper and aluminum are not magnetic themselves, they can interact with magnetic fields. In the case of a magnet, the changing magnetic field induces eddy currents in the metal sheet, creating a magnetic field of its own that opposes the magnet’s field. This dynamic interaction results in the resistance you feel when trying to pass a metal sheet between the pole pieces of a magnet, unlike with a non-magnetic material like cardboard.
Dead beat in magnetic compass used in aircraft?
Trying to keep oscillations of the compass at a minimum, the mass of the magnetic assembly is kept as close as possible to the suspension needle. There are also compasses with damping wires.
Why is it important to know magnetic declination when using a compass?
Knowing the magnetic declination is important when using a compass because it helps you correct for the difference between magnetic north (the direction the needle points) and true north (the direction of the North Pole). Failing to account for this difference can lead to navigational errors when trying to follow a specific heading on a map.
Does a compass spin at the magnetic pole?
No. The actual location of the earth's magnetic 'pole' ... the point that compasses try to point to ... is under the surface, in the earth's interior. A compass needle that's free to rotate vertically as well as horizontally always points somewhat down, in addition to pointing generally north. If you could stand on the surface at the point where compasses seem to be trying to lead you to, your compass would point straight down into the ground. If it's the ordinary kind that's not free to rotate vertically, then it would be pulled down on one side of its bearing, winding up jammed against the case and not free to rotate at all.
What are the disadvantages with using a compass?
A compass is made to point at relative north not exact north. Relative north is a place inGreenland where there is a strong magnetic pull, and because of weathering and changes in the earth it moves every so often. Exact north is in outer space and is the north star. However it is obviously not magnetic therefore there are not magnetic compasses that point to exact north. Digital compasses such as ones you could find on cell phones or other GPS devices are probably the best thing to use if you are trying to go exact north otherwise a regular compass is good enough for directions and scouting.
What is more important a magnetic compass or gunpowder?
It depends on what you are trying to do. If you are trying to find north, a magnetic compass is more important. If you are trying to make fireworks or to fire a gun that requires gunpowder, gunpowder is more important. If you mean in a historical sense, that is also a matter of opinion. Without compasses, sailors would not be able to navigate. Without gunpowder, they would not be able to kill the people they found in the lands they sailed to. The world would be a different place without both. In short, it is a matter of opinion which one is more important.
What is the purpose of the compass rose?
The purpose of a compass rose is to allow you to align your compass with it on a navigational map, it is very relevant for people trying to navigate ships or other marine vehicles.
How do you know if there are ghosts about?
You can use a compass if there are ghost, ghost have an electric magnetic field that will make a compass spin so you can walk around with a compass or you can walk around with a recorder and try to capture evps (electric voice phenomena) and use that and ask questions to the ghost that you are trying to find and you can see if you get any voices back. they are both hard processes but if there is a ghost about normally your hair on the back of your neck will literally stand up
Why is it difficult to get an accurate bearing with a magnetic compass near the poles?
It can vary but i will give one reason. You might be near a magnetic metal which will interfere with what you are are trying to do, iron for example or steel so stay away from magnetic metals.
Exactly what math and biologies should be taken?
The answer depends on "for what purpose". It is pointless trying to answer the question without a context.
What is 30 percent of 150.00 in a fraction?
30% of 150.00 is 45. That is an integer, not a fraction and it is pointless trying to force it into a fraction form.

What are all the equivalent fractions to 33 and one third percent?
There are infinitely many of them and so it would be pointless even trying to list them.
