That's yesterday for me
Well Happy Wednesday Phang Dusty
out of curiosity, I wondered where is the other side of the earth at the spot where I am standing now.It's Ecuador https://www.antipodesmap.com/
Pretty 😎 Indian Ocean between Madagascar and aurtralia here
you'll get Indian Ocean sea water if you dig through the earth below you.what can I bring back from Ecuador?
It'd be sort of hard to demonstrate that experimentally, though.Lannis
I like physics.I remember there is an equally interesting question in high school. A plane is flying above the North Pole, the wings are cutting across the assuming vertical magnetic field of the earth. We're asked to calculate the voltage generated by the wings assuming we can place a voltmeter at the wing tips.
That's a good basic one too! Maxwell's equations for that problem, and you'd have to know the speed of the plane, but .... That would be some pretty advanced high school physics, though. A high school student that understood the tools and equations to solve that would do well in college.Lannis
I don't know but the answer is shocking.
I guess they meant the north magnetic pole, not the North Pole. Either way it would the voltage would be pretty small since it would only be effectively a single turn. Almost certainly be swamped by static electricity too.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
