What will happen to convection currents in the mantle if earths interior eventually cools down?

1 answer:

6 0

If the core were to cool completely, the planet would grow cold and dead. It also would get a little dark: Power utilities pull radiant heat from Earth's crust and use it to heat water, the steam from which powers turbines to create electricity.Cooling also could cost us the magnetic shield around the planet created by heat from the core. This shield protects Earth from cosmic radiation. The shield is created by a convection process caused by constantly moving iron. Like the planet itself, Earth's core is constantly spinning. Some scientists think it's moving even faster than the rest of the planet. The friction converts kinetic energy into electrical and magnetic energy that forms the field, which deflects harmful, charged particles emanating from the sun toward the north and south poles. Your welcome :)

A mover packs books, CDs, and DVDs into a moving box. If the box contains 6.5 kg of books, 1.5 kg of CDs, and 2.0 kg of DVDs, wh

mariarad [96]

Given:
M1 = 6.5 kg of books
M2 = 1.5 kg of CDs
M3 = 2.0 kg of DVDs

Required: percent by mass of each object

Solution:
First, we calculate the total mass.

M = 6.5 kg + 1.5 kg + 2.0 kg = 10 kg

Percent by mass is calculated by getting the ration of the mass of an object and the total mass multiplied by 100 to get the percent.

%M1 = 6.5 / 10 x 100 = 65%
%M2 = 1.5/10 x 100 = 15%
%M3 = 2.0/10 x 100 = 20%

The energy E of the electron in a hydrogen atom can be calculated from the Bohr formula: E = R_y/n^2 In this equation R_y stands

Katarina [22]

Answer:

The wavelength of the line in the emission line spectrum of hydrogen caused by the transition of the electron for the given energy levels is $5.23\times 10^{-5} m$

Explanation:

Given :

The energy E of the electron in a hydrogen atom can be calculated from the Bohr formula:

$E=\frac{R_y}{n^2}$

$R_y=2.18\times 10^{-18} J$ = Rydberg energy

n = principal quantum number of the orbital

Energy of 11th orbit = $E_{11}$

$E_{11}=\frac{2.18\times 10^{-18} J}{11^2}=1.80\times 10^{-20} J$

Energy of 10th orbit = $E_{10}$

$E_{10}=\frac{2.18\times 10^{-18} J}{10^2}=2.18\times 10^{-20} J$

Energy difference between both the levels will corresponds to the energy of the wavelength of the line which can be calculated by using Planck's equation.

$E'=E_{10}-E_{11}=2.18\times 10^{-20} J-1.80\times 10^{-20} J$

$=E'=0.38\times 10^{-20} J$

$\lambda =\frac{hc}{E'}$ (Planck's' equation)

$\lambda = \frac{6.626\times 10^{-34} Js\times 3\times 10^8 m/s}{0.38\times 10^{-20} J}$

$\lambda = 5.2310\times 10^{-5} m\approx 5.23\times 10^{-5} m$

The wavelength of the line in the emission line spectrum of hydrogen caused by the transition of the electron for the given energy levels is $5.23\times 10^{-5} m$
