Answer:

Earth magnetic field may exist due to many causes out of which the most dominating cause is the molten metal inside the core of Earth which will contain large number of ions.

All ions will revolve along with the Earth due to which there exist a current loop due to motion of ions. Now this current may induce magnetic field due to Earth.

Now here the magnetic field of Earth is inclined at some angle with the axis of rotation of Earth. and the North pole of magnet is near the geographic South pole of Earth.

So here by observation it is found that the angle between the magnetic field axis and axis of rotation of Earth is changing with time. This angle is increasing in magnitude.

So there is just change in orientation observed so far due to magnetic field of Earth.

It's an interesting fact that scientists don't fully understand how it works. But it seems to be to do with molten metal circulating in the core. Given that it's just liquid metal sloshing around, it seems understandable that it won't always circulate perfectly - imagine the cloud bands in Jupiter's atmosphere - they are reasonably stable but change from time to time. When the liquid changes its speed or direction, however slowly it does so, the resulting magnetic field will move or switch direction.

 As scientists try to build better mathematical models of how the core works, they should be able to learn more about the magnetic field it produces. Hope this helps

Energy of fossil fuels is also derieved from solar energy

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Explanation:

All the energy in oil, gas, and coal originally came from the sun, captured through photosynthesis.for example when we burn wood to release energy that trees capture from the sun, we burn fossil fuels to release the energy that ancient plants captured from the sun. We can think of this energy as having been deposited in a natural solar power bank over millions of years.

So, in one sense, gasoline-burning cars, coal-burning power plants, and homes heated by natural gas are all solar powered!

How is it possible for two objects to have the same momentum but different velocities give an example

castortr0y [4]

Momentum is
p = mv, where m is the mass and v is the speed.
So, if two objects have the same momentum but different speeds, the must have different masses as well.
v1/v2 = m2/m1
The example is a car and a truck. Car has the mass 1000 kg and velocity 100 m/s, and truck has the mass 5000 kg and velocity 20 m/s. Use the formula above to determine is it true that they have the same momentum:
(100 m/s) / (20 m/s) = (5000 kg) / (1000 kg)
5 = 5
So, the example is correct.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Cart 1 of mass m is traveling with speed 2vo in the +x-direction when it has an elastic collision with cart 2 of

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum conservation

$m2v_0+2mv_0=mv_1+2mv_2 \quad (1/m) \quad 4v_0=v_1+2v_2\\$

Kinetic energy conservation

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}m(2v_0)^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv_0^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv_2^2 \quad (1/m) \quad 6v_0^2=v_1^2+2v_2^2$

1) A fan is to accelerate quiescent air to a velocity of 8 m/s at a rate of 9 m3/s. Determine the minimum power that must be sup

azamat

Answer:

$\dot{W} = 339.84 W$

Explanation:

given data:

flow Q = 9 m^{3}/s

velocity = 8 m/s

density of air = 1.18 kg/m^{3}

minimum power required to supplied to the fan is equal to the POWER POTENTIAL of the kinetic energy and it is given as

$\dot{W} =\dot{m}\frac{V^{2}}{2}$

here $\dot{m}$ is mass flow rate and given as

$\dot{m} = \rho*Q$

$\dot{W} =\rho*Q\frac{V^{2}}{2}$

Putting all value to get minimum power

$\dot{W} =1.18*9*\frac{8^{2}}{2}$

$\dot{W} = 339.84 W$

Which of the following was/were used by the Greek philosophers in

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

a and c are both correct

Explanation:

The Greek Philosophers had to reject many existing explanations (mostly from the babylonians and the egyptians) because of possible religion bias. They resorted to logic and reason to provide understanding for the world around them. The first set of Greek Philosophers were the Milesian thinkers; whom aside from logic and reason also placed value on Observation in understanding the world.

There are generally no evidence to support the use of experiment to support the claims of the Greek philosophers
