17. In which layer does mantle convection occur?

Physics
1 answer:
Anarel [89]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

D. Asthenosphere

Explanation:

The asthenosphere is relatively plastic part of the mantle which underlies the brittle lithosphere. In the asthenosphere, it is generally believed that the rocks are in ductile state and easily moves. It is the site of convection within the earth. In mantle convection, hot and light materials rises and keeps moving into upper crustal levels till they solidify. Here also, cold and denser materials sinks deeper till they turn to melt. This differences in temperature and density sets up a convective cell within the mantle. Several convective cells are in the mantle.

Lelechka [254]
Given that the design is not shown, for traditional nuclear reactors with control rods, the best way to meet an increased demand for energy would be to raise the control rods so that less neutrons are absorbed.

So, the most reasonable answer to the question is B.

Measure the length of the arrow in centimeters using correct significant figures.
Zinaida [17]

Based on the very tip of the arrow the best answer would be; 3.3cm

But i could very well be wrong and it may be 3.35, but i would say 3.3 if it just wants to the nearest 10th

A charge of 8.0 pc is distributed uniformly on a spherical surface (radius = 2.0 cm), and a second charge of â3.0 pc is distribu
loris [4]
According to Gauss' law, the electric field outside a spherical surface uniformly charged is equal to the electric field if the whole charge were concentrated at the center of the sphere.

Therefore, when you are outside two spheres, the electric field will be the overlapping of the two electric fields:
E(r > r₂ > r₁) = k · q₁/r² + k  · q₂/r² = k · (q₁ + q₂) / r²
where:
k = 9×10⁹ N·m²/C²

We have to transform our data into the correct units of measurement:
q₁ = 8.0 pC = 8.0×10⁻¹² C
q₂ = 3.0 pC = 3.0×10<span>⁻¹² C
</span><span>r = 5.0 cm = 0.05 m

Now, we can apply the formula:
</span><span>E(r) = k · (q₁ + q₂) / r²
      = </span>9×10⁹ · (8.0×10⁻¹² + 3.0×10⁻¹²) / (0.05)²
      = 39.6 N/C

Hence, <span>the magnitude of the electric field 5.0 cm from the center of the two surfaces is E = 39.6 N/C</span>

Electromagnets are created by
Scrat [10]
I electromagnets, the magnetic field is turned off when there is no induced current. So, electromagnets act as magnets only when current is induced in an insulated wire wrapped around a material mage of ferromagnetic material such as iron core rotating in a magnetic field.

So, option D is the correct one.
