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.

What is the speed of the block/bullet system after the collision? express your answer in terms of vi, mw, and mb. hints?

Sonbull [250]

Having said that,
mV + M0 = (m + M)v; where m = bullet mass, M = block mass, V = bullet velocity upon incoming, and v = the block and bullet velocity (ideal without losses) is the answer you are looking for. Thus, v = V(m/(m + M)) is what you want. m = Mb, M = Mw, and V = Vi.

Temperatures expressed in the Kelvin scale are ____ higher than temperatures in the Celsius scale?

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer: D. 273

Explanation: Celsius temperatures can be negative while kelvin goes down to absolute zero and doesn’t go any lower, thus no negative numbers

One recently discovered extrasolar planet, or exoplanet, orbits a star whose mass is 0.70 times the mass of our sun. This planet

Stels [109]

0.078 times the orbital radius r of the earth around our sun is the exoplanet's orbital radius around its sun.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given that planet is revolving around the earth so from the statement of centrifugal force, we know that any

$\frac{G M m}{r^{2}}=m \omega^{2} r$

The orbit’s period is given by,

$T=\sqrt{\frac{2 \pi}{\omega r^{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{r^{3}}{G M}}$

Where,

$T_{e}$ = Earth’s period

$T_{p}$ = planet’s period

$M_{s}$ = sun’s mass

$r_{e}$ = earth’s radius

Now,

$T_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{r_{e}^{3}}{G M_{s}}}$

As, planet mass is equal to 0.7 times the sun mass, so

$T_{p}=\sqrt{\frac{r_{p}^{3}}{0.7 G M_{s}}}$

Taking the ratios of both equation, we get,

$\frac{T_{e}}{T_{p}}=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{r_{e}^{3}}{G M_{s}}}}{\sqrt{\frac{r_{p}^{3}}{0.7 G M_{s}}}}$

$\frac{T_{e}}{T_{p}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.7 \times r_{e}^{3}}{r_{p}^{3}}}$

$\left(\frac{T_{e}}{T_{p}}\right)^{2}=\frac{0.7 \times r_{e}^{3}}{r_{p}^{3}}$

$\left(\frac{T_{e}}{T_{p}}\right)^{2} \times \frac{1}{0.7}=\frac{r_{e}^{3}}{r_{p}^{3}}$

$\frac{r_{e}}{r_{p}}=\left(\left(\frac{T_{e}}{T_{p}}\right)^{2} \times \frac{1}{0.7}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

Given $T_{p}=9.5 \text { days }$ and $T_{e}=365 \text { days }$

$\frac{r_{e}}{r_{p}}=\left(\left(\frac{365}{9.5}\right)^{2} \times \frac{1}{0.7}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}=\left(\frac{133225}{90.25} \times \frac{1}{0.7}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}=(2108.82)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$r_{p}=\left(\frac{1}{(2108.82)^{\frac{1}{3}}}\right) r_{e}=\left(\frac{1}{12.82}\right) r_{e}=0.078 r_{e}$
