Answer:

The Earth's magnetism is generated in the core, which is composed of iron that is constantly churning

Explanation:

Magnetic fields are produced by charges in motion, therefore by currents.

The outer core of the Earth consists mainly of melted iron that is in constant motion. This iron in motion actually acts as a giant current, and therefore it is responsible for the creation of the Earth's magnetic field.

The magnetic field of the Earth is very weak, in fact its magnitude is on average between 25 and 65 microtesla (for comparison, normal magnets can even produce magnetic fields of a few millitesla).

However, its role is very important for the Earth: in fact, it provides a shield that blocks most of the harmful radiation coming from the Sun.

A proton, which is the nucleus of a hydrogen atom, can be modeled as a sphere with a diameter of 2.4 fm and a mass of 1.67 10-27
Step2247 [10]
For the answer to the question above asking to d<span>etermine the density of the proton. 
</span>Density is mass over volume. 

The volume of a sphere is 4πr³/3. r is half the diameter. 

So the density would be 2.3×10¹⁷ kg/m³. 
I hope my answer helped you. Feel free to ask more questions. Have a nice day!

What is the frequency of a wave
MAVERICK [17]
The frequency of a wave is the number of waves that passes through a point in a certain time. The less waves that pass in a period of time the lower the frequency of the wave. The more waves that pass in a period of time the higher the frequency of the wave. When measuring wave length the time period used is usually one second.

Charge is distributed uniformly on the surface of a large flat plate. the electric field 2 cm from the plate is 30 n/c. the elec
AysviL [449]
The electric field produced by a large flat plate with uniform charge density on its surface can be found by using Gauss law, and it is equal to
E= \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}
where
\sigma is the charge density
\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

We see that the intensity of the electric field does not depend on the distance from the plate. Therefore, the strenght of the electric field at 4 cm from the plate is equal to the strength of the electric field at 2 cm from the plate:
E=30 N/C

A 3.20 kg block starts at rest and slides a distance d down a frictionless β = 30.0 ◦ incline, where it runs into a spring with
Virty [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) work done by gravitational force

= mg sinθ ( d + .21)

Potential energy stored in compressed spring

= 1/2 k x²

= .5 x 431 x ( .21 )²

= 9.5

According to conservation of energy

mg sinθ ( d + .21)  = 9.5

3.2 x 9.8 x sin 30( d + .21 ) = 9.5

d = 40 cm

b )

As long as mg sin30 is greater than kx ( restoring force ) , there will be acceleration in the block.

mg sin30 = kx

3.2 x 9.8 x .5 = 431 x

x =  3.63 cm

When there is compression of 3.63 cm in the spring , block will have maximum velocity. there after its speed will start decreasing.
