Answer and Explanation:

The main source of earth magnetic field is the metals and iron present in earth crust these metals are mainly found in liquid state in earth crust and we know that whenever there is spinning of these liquid metals then there will magnetic field generate, So the main source of earth magnetic field is the metals present in earth crust.

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

The core of the Earth is composed of molten metals mostly iron and nickel. These molten metals are in continuous motion. Thus, generating a very strong current convectional current. This in turn produces magnetic field around Earth. These convectional currents are caused due to heat escaping the earth's core. This magnetic field acts as a barrier against solar wind trying enter the earth's atmosphere.

A man can jump 1.5 m on earth. calculate the approximate

Olegator [25]

Answer:

18 m

Explanation:

G = Gravitational constant

m = Mass of planet = $\rho V$

$\rho$ = Density of planet

V = Volume of planet assuming it is a sphere = $\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

r = Radius of planet

Acceleration due to gravity on a planet is given by

$g=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{G\rho V}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{G\rho \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{4G\rho\pi r}{3}$

So,

$g\propto \rho r$

Density of other planet = $\rho_p=\dfrac{1}{4}\rho_e$

Radius of other planet = $r_p=\dfrac{1}{3}r_e$

$\dfrac{g_e}{g_p}=\dfrac{\rho_e r_e}{\rho_p r_p}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{g_e}{g_p}=\dfrac{\rho_e r_e}{\dfrac{1}{4}\rho_e\times \dfrac{1}{3}r_e}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{g_e}{g_p}=12\\\Rightarrow g_p=\dfrac{g_e}{12}\\\Rightarrow g_p=\dfrac{9.8}{12}$

Since the person is jumping up the acceleration due to gravity will be negative.

From kinematic equations we have

$v^2-u^2=2g_es\\\Rightarrow u^2=v^2-2g_es\\\Rightarrow u^2=0-2\times -9.8\times 1.5\\\Rightarrow u^2=2\times 9.8\times 1.5$

On the other planet

$v^2-u^2=2g_ps\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2g_p}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{0-(2\times 9.8\times 1.5)}{2\times -\dfrac{9.8}{12}}\\\Rightarrow s=18\ \text{m}$

The man can jump a height of 18 m on the other planet.

A solid circular shaft and a tubular shaft, both with the same outer radius of c=co = 0.550 in , are being considered for a part

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The power for circular shaft is 7.315 hp and tubular shaft is 6.667 hp

Explanation:

<u>Polar moment of Inertia</u>

$(I_p)s = \frac{\pi(0.55)4}2$

= 0.14374 in 4

<u>Maximum sustainable torque on the solid circular shaft</u>

$T_{max} = T_{allow} \frac{I_p}{r}$

= $(14 \times 10^3) \times (\frac{0.14374}{0.55})$

= 3658.836 lb.in

= $\frac{3658.836}{12}$ lb.ft

= 304.9 lb.ft

<u>Maximum sustainable torque on the tubular shaft</u>

$T_{max} = T_{allow}( \frac{Ip}{r})$

= $(14 \times10^3) \times ( \frac{0.13101}{0.55})$

= 3334.8 lb.in

= $(\frac{3334.8}{12} )$ lb.ft

= 277.9 lb.ft

<u>Maximum sustainable power in the solid circular shaft</u>

$P_{max} = 2 \pi f_T$

= $2\pi(2.1) \times 304.9$

= 4023.061 lb. ft/s

= $(\frac{4023.061}{550})$ hp

= 7.315 hp

<u>Maximum sustainable power in the tubular shaft</u>

$P _{max,t} = 2\pi f_T$

= $2\pi(2.1) \times 277.9$

= 3666.804 lb.ft /s

= $(\frac{3666.804}{550})$ hp

= 6.667 hp

What does special relativity reveal about the speed of light relative to its source?

Vladimir [108]

Regardless of the source's mobility, light travels at the same speed.

<h3>What makes special relativity so crucial?</h3>

In the calculating and interpretation of high-velocity phenomena, as well as on our methods of thinking, Einstein's special relativity has had a significant influence on the area of physics. Today, we have a considerably better knowledge of space and time than we did at the start of the century.

<h3>Why is special relativity thus named?</h3>

Because it exclusively uses inertial frames to apply the concept of relativity, the theory is known as "special". General relativity, which Einstein created, applies the principle broadly, that is, to any frame, and this theory takes the gravitational forces into account.
