Answer: The outer core is liquid and moving.

Earth’s core is composed of iron and nickel.

Explanation:

A magnetic field is produced by a magnetic material such as Iron, Cobalt or Nickel. Magnetic field are magnetic lines of force i.e. the region which experiences magnetic force. Earth acts as a huge bar magnet and has magnetic field around it due to which we are shielded by solar particles and experience phenomenon such as Auroras.

The earth acts as bar magnet due to presence of iron and nickel in molten form in its core. The outer core is liquid and moves generating a magnetic field. Thus, the correct options are:

The outer core is liquid and moving.

Earth’s core is composed of iron and nickel.

All the statements can be used to explain about Earth's magnetic field.

Earth's magnetic field is almost same to that of the bar magnet. The magnetic field of the earth occurs from its core. It has an inner core which is solid in nature. in the outer core, there is a motion of the liquid due to heat flow from the inner core to the core mantle boundary which proves that the outer core is liquid and moving. The Earth's core consists of iron and nickel as the Eddy currents in the iron and nickel liquid helps generating the Earth's magnetic field.

Hence, all the three statements are true and can be used to explain the Earth's magnetic field.

NEED ANSWER ASAP!!! Angela has a bucket of mass 2 kg tied to a string. She places a drinking glass of mass 0.5 kg in the bucket.
Schach [20]

a. The free-body diagram for the glass when it is at the top of the circle is attached below.

b. The equation for the net force on the glass at the top of the circle in terms of w, Fn, m, v, and r is mg x g + N -  mg x Vtop² /R =0

c. The glass will fall out of the bucket if the normal force between the glass and bucket equals zero. The speed with which she spin the bucket to prevent this from happening is 3.83 m/s.

d. The string will break if the tension on it is more than 100 N. The range of speeds can  prevent the string from breaking is 3.83< Vtop<4.99 m/s

<h3>What is Net force?</h3>

When two or more forces are acting on the system of objects, then the to attain equilibrium, net force must be zero.

Given, Angela has a bucket of mass 2 kg tied to a string. She places a drinking glass of mass 0.5 kg in the bucket. She spins the bucket in a vertical circle of radius 1.5 m. She must swing the bucket to keep the glass from falling out.

a. The free body diagram of the bucket and glass is attached below.

b. Bucket will undergo centrifugal force

Fb = mVtop² /R

From the equilibrium of forces, we have

For bucket,

T +mb xg - N =  mb x Vtop² /R..............(1)

For glass,

mg x g + N =  mg x Vtop² /R..............(2)

Thus, this is the net force equation on the glass.

c. On adding both the equations. we have

T + (mb + mg) xg = (mb + mg) Vtop² /R

Substituting the values, T = 0 and from the question, we get

0 + (2+0.5) 9.81 = (2+0.5)(Vtop²/0.5)

Vtop = 3.83 m/s

Thus, the speed of spin to prevent glass from falling out is 3.83 m/s

d. The string will break if the tension on it is more than 100 N

100 + (2+0.5) 9.81 = (2+0.5)(Vtop²/0.5)

Vtop = 4.99 m/s

Thus, the range of velocity is  3.83< Vtop<4.99 m/s

Which statements best describe x-rays? check all that apply. x-rays are electromagnetic waves. x-rays are longitudinal waves. x-
igor_vitrenko [27]

X ray is one of the electromagnetic waves.

As per Clark Maxwell's electromagnetic theory, all the electromagnetic waves move with the velocity of light i.e c= 3×10^8 m/s

In case of electromagnetic waves,the electric field and magnetic field are perpendicular to each other as well as perpendicular to the direction of propagation.The electromagnetic waves exhibit the property of polarisation. Hence they are transverse in nature.

Hence the best statements about X- ray will be-

1- X -rays are electromagnetic waves

2-X-rays are transverse transverse waves

3- X- rays travel at the speed of light.
