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 car sitting at a red light begins to accelerate at 2.0 m/s2 when the light turns green. It continues with this acceleration un

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

$d = 820 m$

Explanation:

here we know that car starts from rest and continue to accelerate till it will reach to maximum speed of 20 m/s

so we will have

$v_f - v_i = at$

$20 - 0 = 2t$

$t = 10 s$

so car will accelerate till t = 10 then it will move with uniform speed

so the distance moved by the car till it accelerates is given as

$d = \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$d = \frac{1}{2}(2)(10^2)$

$d_1 = 100 m$

now it will move with uniform speed for next 36 s

so we have

$d_2 = 20(36) = 720 m$

so total distance moved by the car is given as

$d = d_1 + d_2$

$d = 100 + 720$

$d = 820 m$

ListenA person on a ledge throws a ball vertically downward, striking the ground below the ledge with 200 joules of kinetic ener

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

A. 200 J

Explanation:

The initial kinetic energy depends on the initial speed, while the gravitational potential energy depends on the height, both balls are thrown with the same initial speed and from the same height. Therefore, due to the law of conservation of energy, the balls must have the same mechanical energy (the sum of both energies) when both impact the ground. Since the potential energy is zero at this point, its final kinetic energy must also be the same.

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The planets spun in epicycles.

Explanation:

The planets were not simply attached to a mystical sphere (“deferent”) but they were actually attached to a mini-sphere (“epicycle”) which rotated on the larger one.

How know that rocks formed from the seafloor sediments deposited in the Amadeus basin were softer than the arkose sandstone

svp [43]

The rocks formed from the seafloor sediments deposited in the Amadeus basin were softer than the Arkose sandstone because the Amadeus basin were made up of marine and non-marine sedimentary rocks which are softer compared to quarts which make up mostly the Arkose sandstone.
