Which property of a magnet is the reason why a magnet is used in a compass?
Its magnetism and the fact that the magnetism is the biggest force acting on the needle on the XY plane. This force is bigger than the friction from the spindle and the force of inertia. (The force of gravity is bigger but this acts on the Z plane) As the magnetism is the biggest force acting on the alignment of the needle it means it wants to align itself with the earths magnetic field. The result is a needle that points to magnetic north
What is gravitational force which causes the planet to orbit the sun?
It is the gravitational force of the sun. The sun is the biggest body in the solar system. So in turn if you know gravity, the smaller body always rotates around bigger body. But this can only happen on a planetary scale.
What matter has the strongest force between the particles?
The object that has the biggest mass combined with the biggest acceleration. Isaac Newton's second law states that the force is equal to the mass multiplied by the acceleration. Imagine a rhinocerous charging at you. He has a mass of 4000 pounds. Imagine that he is only charging at you at an acceleration of .001m/s2. The force that he is going to impact on you is a force of 4 lb*m/s2. Imagine a bully in school who is about to punch you. Lets say his hand has a mass of about 1 pound. Now imagine that he is punching you at 5m/s2. The force that he is impacting on you is a force of 5 lb*m/s2. This may be a hard concept to grasp, but the bully is actually putting more force onto you than the rhinocerous is. The force depends NOT ONLY on the mass but also how fast you are applying that mass to an object.
How do you spell biggest?
Biggest wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!
Which planets in the solar system exsert the greatest force of gravity?
Jupiter exerts the greatest force of gravity in our solar system due to its large mass. Other massive planets like Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune also have significant gravitational forces.
