The missing word here is <u>Asthenosphere.</u><u> </u>

The convection in the asthenosphere directly propels the tectonic plates of the earth.

Did you know that the asthenosphere is thought to remain malleable because of heat from deep within the Earth? It is thought to be lubricating the earth's tectonic plates' undersides and enabling movement.

The older, denser portions of the lithosphere that are dragged downward in subduction zones are stored in the asthenosphere, according to the theory of plate tectonics.

The lithosphere above is stressed by convection currents, and the cracking that frequently results manifests as earthquakes.

Magma is forced upward through volcanic vents and spreading centers by convection currents produced within the asthenosphere, which also results in the formation of new crust.

A point charge of 5.0 x 10^-7 C moves to the right at 2.6 x 10^5 m/s in a magnetic field that is directed into the screen and ha

-BARSIC- [3]

The magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the charge is 2.34×10⁻³ N.

<h3>What is magnetic force?</h3>

A magnetic force is the force that act in a magnetic field.

To calculate the magnetic force, we use the formula below.

Formula:

F = qvB.........Equation 1

Where:

F = magnetic force
q = point charge
v = Velocity of the the charge
B = Field strength

From the question,

Given:

q = 5.0×10⁻⁷ C
v = 2.6×10⁵ m/s
B = 1.8×10⁻² T

Substitute these values into equation 2

F = (5.0×10⁻⁷)(2.6×10⁵)(1.8×10⁻²)
F = 23.4×10⁻⁴
F = 2.34×10⁻³ N

Hence, the magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the charge is 2.34×10⁻³ N.

choose the correct anwer 9: the range of the gravitional force is given by A: 10_2m B:10_15m C: infinite D: 10_10m

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The answer is C

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force depends inversely on the square of the radial distance between the centers of the two masses. Thus, essentially, the force can only fall to zero, when the denominator that is r becomes infinite.

. Light travels at a speed of about 300 000 km/s. a. Express this value in scientific notation. b. Convert this value to meters

olganol [36]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Data

light speed = 300 000 km/s

a) Express it in scientific notation

to do it, we just move the decimal point 5 places to the left

300 000 = 3.0 x 10 ⁵ km/s

b) Convert this value to meters per hour

(300 000 km/s)(1000 m/1 km)(3600 s/1 h) = 300000x1000x3600 / 1x1x1

= 1.08 x 10¹² m/h

c) What distance in centimeters does light travel in 1 s?

data

v = 300 000 km/s

d = ?

t = 1 s

formula v = d/t we clear distance d = vxt

d = 300000 x 1 = 300000 km

d = 300000000 m = 30000000000 cm
