Answer: Shorter

Explanation: Shadow is formed when an light source is obstructed by an opaque object. The closer the source, shorter is the length of the shadow. In fact, when the source is exactly overhead, no shadow of the object is formed.

June 21 marks the Summer solstice which means the Sun passes directly overhead Tropic of cancer (23.5° N) at noon. March 21 marks the equinox which means sun passes directly overhead equator (0°).

Shadow length of an object at 42° Northern latitude will be shorter on June 21 because the Sun will be closer to this latitude as compared to March 21.

How much force is required to move a electron through an electric field with strength of 1.375 x 10^19 N/C?
Luda [366]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force required to move the electron through the given field is 2.203 N

Explanation:

Given;

The field strength of the electron, E = 1.375  x 10¹⁹ N/C

charge of electron, q = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

The magnitude of the force required to move the electron through the given field is calculated as follows;

F = Eq

F = (1.375  x 10¹⁹ N/C) (1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)

F = 2.203 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the force required to move the electron through the given field is 2.203 N

Which component of magma includes mobile ions of silicon?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Melt.

Explanation:

When rocks melt, they do so slowly and gradually because most rocks are made of several minerals, which all have different melting points; moreover, the physical and chemical relationships controlling the melting are complex. As a rock melts, for example, its volume changes. When enough rock is melted, the small globules of melt link up and soften the rock.

Under normal conditions, mantle rock like peridotite shouldn't melt in the Earth's upper mantle. However, by adding water you can lower the melting point of the rock. Alternatively, by decompressing the rock, you can bring it to a pressure where the melting point is lower. In both cases, basalt magma will form and considering it is hotter and less dense than the surrounding rock, it will percolate towards the surface and some of that erupts.
