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.

To increase the centripetal acceleration to $2.00 m/s^2$ , you can double the speed or decrease the radius by 1/4

Explanation:

An object is said to be in uniform circular motion when it is moving at a constant speed in a circular path.

The acceleration of an object in uniform circular motion is called centripetal acceleration, and it is given by

$a=\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

v is the speed of the object

r is the radius of the circular path

In the problem, the original centripetal acceleration is

$a=0.50 m/s^2$

We want to increase it by a factor of 4, i.e. to

$a'=2.00 m/s^2$

We notice that the centripetal acceleration is proportional to the square of the speed and inversely proportional to the radius, so we can do as follows:

- We can double the speed:

v' = 2v

This way, the new acceleration is

$a'=\frac{(2v)^2}{r}=4(\frac{v^2}{r})=4a$

so, 4 times the original acceleration

- We can decrease the radius to 1/4 of its original value:

$r'=\frac{1}{4}r$

So the new acceleration is

$a'=\frac{v^2}{(r/4)}=4(\frac{v^2}{r})=4a$

so, the acceleration has increased by a factor 4 again.

for the same type of atom with 8 protons, 9 neutrons, and 10 electrons, what type of atom or ion is it

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

O²⁻

Explanation:

Number of protons = 8

Number of neutrons = 9

Number of electrons = 10

What type of atom or ion is it = ?

Solution:

Protons are the positively charged particle in an atom

Neutrons do not carry any charges

Electrons are negatively charged particles

For this atom, the number of protons helps to identify what specie it is; so this is an oxygen atom.

Now,

Charge = Number of protons - Number of electrons

Charge = 8 - 10 = -2

The charge on the atom is -2 and so it is an oxygen ion with -2 charge

The ion is O²⁻

A billiard ball is moving in the x-direction at 30.0 cm/s and strikes another billiard ball moving in the y-direction at 40.0 cm

____ [38]

Answer:

53.13 °

Explanation:

In order to do this, we just need to apply the following:

tanα = Dy/Dx

Where:

Vy: speed of the ball in the y axis.

Vx: speed of the ball in the x axis.

At this point we do not need the speed of the first ball after the collision because in that moment is already heading in the direction that we are looking for. Therefore, we just need to use the innitial data to calculate the direction which the first ball will go.

According to this, then:

tanα = (40/30)

tanα = 1.3333

α = tan⁻¹(1.3333)

This means that the final direction of the first ball is 53.13° and in the x axis because the starting momentum of this ball in the x axis has not dissapeared.

Hope this helps

A proton is projected into a magnetic field that is directed along the positive x axis. Find the direction of the magnetic force

bulgar [2K]

Te direction of the magnetic force for the velocity of the proton in the

-ve y direction will be +ve z direction.

As we know that the right-hand rule is based on the relation of magnetic fields and the forces that they exert on moving charges.When a charged particle moves under a magnetic field, it exerts a force on the particle, which is not in the same direction but different than the direction of the magnetic field.Under the right-hand rule, if we point our pointer finger in the direction of the charged particle is moving and the middle finger is representing the direction of the magnetic field then our thumb depicts the direction of the magnetic force which is exerted on the charged particle.

So, we are given that the direction of the velocity of the proton is in the negative y direction and the direction of the magnetic field is in the positive x direction, so the magnetic force is acting in the positive z direction.

Wewaii [24]

Using the Universal Gratitation Law, we have:

$F= \frac{MmG}{d^2} \\ MmG=2*10^{20}*(3.84*10^8)^2 \\ MmG=29.4912*10^36$

Again applying the formula in the new situation, comes:

$F= \frac{MmG}{d^2} \\ F= \frac{29.4912*10^36}{(1.92*10^8)^2} \\ \boxed {F=8*10^{20}}$

Number 4
