Lodestones were the naturally occurring magnets that were known and used in earlier times. These stones possess the property of attracting iron and were a valuable resource for early compasses and navigation.

How does air naturally want to flow in a given environment?

Air naturally flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure in a given environment.


What is the magnetic force equation between two magnets?

The magnetic force equation between two magnets is given by the formula F (k m1 m2) / r2, where F is the force, k is a constant, m1 and m2 are the strengths of the magnets, and r is the distance between them.


Will a diamond shatter if hit with a hammer?

A diamond can shatter if hit with a hammer. While diamond is the hardest naturally-occurring mineral known, it is also brittle. The hardness means that it is difficult to cut, but the brittleness means that it is likely to splinter or shatter if enough pressure is exerted. In the case of a diamond hit with a hammer, the likelihood that the diamond will shatter will increase with the force of the hammer (based mostly on the weight) and will further increase if the diamond has any significant inclusions (indicated by a flaw in the diamond). Given the value of a diamond, it is highly recommended that you do not try this at home.


how the frequency of wave measure?

The frequency of a wave is measured in hertz (Hz), which represents the number of complete oscillations or cycles of the wave that occur in one second. A higher frequency indicates more cycles occurring in a given time period, while a lower frequency indicates fewer cycles occurring in the same time period.


Is amplitude the number of motions that occur in a given time?

The amplitude of a wave is the height of a wave crest or the depth of a wave trough from the rest position.

Was magnets always called magnets?

First of all magnets were found naturally in a place called magnesia. the natural magnet is sometimes called leading stones. and also because it is found in magnesia the name magnetite is given for it.means magnets can also be named as magnetite, sometimes leading stones.


What is the result when you total the individual percent abundance of isotopes of a given element?

How do you calculate percent abundance of an isotope?You find the isotope number and then you calculate that into a fraction and then turn the fraction into a percentage and divide it by the atomic number then times it by the mass and turn that answer into a percent and voila, there you have it.


Why are the masses given in the periodic table described as being average masses?

The given mass of an element on the periodic table is determined by calculating the weighted average of all naturally occurring isotopes of that element. If the element does not occur in nature, the atomic mass of the most stable isotope is given.
