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.

An electric dipole consisting of charges of magnitude 1.70 nC separated by 6.80 μm is in an electric field of strength 1160 N/C.
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

p = 1.16 10⁻¹⁴ C m     and  ΔU = 2.7 10 -11 J

Explanation:

The dipole moment of a dipole is the product of charges by distance

                        p = 2 a q

With 2a the distance between the charges and the magnitude of the charges

                        p = 1.7 10⁻⁹ 6.8 10⁻⁶

                        p = 1.16 10⁻¹⁴ C m

 

The potential energie dipole  is described by the expression

                       U = - p E cos θ

Where θ is the angle between the dipole and the electric field, the zero value of the potential energy is located for when the dipole is perpendicular to the electric field line

Orientation parallel to the field

                      θ = 0º

                      U = 1.16 10⁻¹⁴ 1160 cos 0

                      U1 = 1.35 10⁻¹¹ J

Antiparallel orientation

                       θ = 180º

                      cos 180 = -1

                      U2 = -1.35 10⁻¹¹ J

The difference in energy between these two configurations is the subtraction of the energies

                         ΔU = | U1 -U2 |

                         ΔU = 1.35 10-11 - (-1.35 10-11)

                         ΔU = 2.7 10 -11 J

It would be really helpful if u help me solving this question. PLEASE!!!
sweet [91]

Answer: The students will determine the two fixed points of the thermometer:

Lower fixed point = 0 degree Celsius

Upper fixed point = 100 degree Celsius

Then divide the thermometer with equal intervals

The room temperature will be the point at which the themometric substance remains constant when rising from ice point.

Explanation:

Apparatus available:

Unmarked thermometer

250 cm3 glass beaker

crushed ice 

water

heatproof mat 

clamp, boss and stand

meter rule

Added apparatus

Bunsen burner

Stirrer

Method

The students will determine the two fixed points of the thermometer:

Lower fixed point = 0 degree Celsius

Upper fixed point = 100 degree Celsius

Then divide the thermometer with equal intervals

Procedures

Set up the apparatus of illustrated in the attached figure.

Immerse the unmarked thermometer into the ice in the beaker.

When the level indicated by the thermometric substance remains steady after some time, a mark will be made at that point. This mark will corresponds to the ice point (lower fixed point) and is assigned the value of 0 °C.

You may add little water and continue to stir gently.

The themometric substance will start to rise and stop when it reaches room temperature. Mark the point but do not assign any value

Place the beaker on bunsen burner and boil the water. The themometric substance will continue to rise and remain constant at upper fixed point

This mark will corresponds to the steam point (upper fixed point) and is assigned the value of 100 °C.

Divide between the lower fixed point and upper fixed point into equal intervals. Then you can see the value of room temperature.

The orbits of ____ lie closer to the sun than does earth's orbit.
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Mercury and Venus lie closer to Sun than position of Earth

Explanation:

As we know that all planets around the sun in the range of their distance can be arranged as following:

1). Mercury.

2). Venus.

3). Earth.

4). Mars.

5). Jupiter.

6). Saturn.

7). Uranus.

8). Neptune.

Since Earth lie at 3rd position from sun so two closer planets are Mercury and Venus
