How is magnetism important to our evolution?

If it helps Mark Brainliest.. :)

natural magnetism of the Earth derives from its iron core. This not only provides a useful direction finder for compasses, but actually protects life on Earth by deflecting charged particles in space. The "magnetosphere" is a large region that surrounds the Earth as it moves in its orbit around the Sun. It consists of charged ions that are prevented from directly striking the surface, where they could injure living organisms and harm the environment.When solar eruptions on the Sun increase the flow of charged particles, industries such as power transmission and communication can be still be affected despite the magnetic field

propane, the gas used in barbeque grills, is made of carbon and hydrogen. Will the atoms that make up propane form covalent bond

nirvana33 [79]

Hydrocarbons are molecules that contain only carbon and hydrogen. Due to carbon's unique bonding patterns, hydrocarbons can have single, double, or triple bonds between the carbon atoms. The names of hydrocarbons with single bonds end in "-ane," those with double bonds end in "-ene," and those with triple bonds end in "-yne". The bonding of hydrocarbons allows them to form rings or chains.

Water at the top of a slope has potential energy. true or false

ASHA 777 [7]

The statement is TRUE. Water does have potential energy at the top of a slope. The reason why is that potential energy is energy possessed by a body based on its position relative to a zero point. In this case, water at the top of the slope is at an elevation above ground (zero point). The energy is not kinetic (moving) energy since the water is not moving.

When using a calorimeter, the initial temperature of a metal is 70.4C. The initial temperature of the water is 23.6C. At the end

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

1) 29.8 C

At the beginning, the metal is at higher temperature (70.4 C) while the water is at lower temperature (23.6 C). When they are put in contact, the metal transfers heat to the water, until they reach thermal equilibrium: at thermal equilibrium the two objects (the metal and the water have same temperature). Therefore, since the temperature of the water at thermal equilibrium is 29.8 C, the final temperature of the metal must be the same (29.8 C).

2) 6.2 C

The temperature change of the water is given by the difference between its final temperature and its initial temperature:

$\Delta T = T_f - T_i$

where

$T_f = 29.8 C\\T_i = 23.6 C$

Substituting into the formula,

$\Delta T=29.8 C-23.6 C=6.2 C$

And the positive sign means that the temperature of the water has increased.

3) -40.6 C

The temperature change of the metal is given by the difference between its final temperature and its initial temperature:

$\Delta T = T_f - T_i$

where

$T_f = 29.8 C\\T_i = 70.4 C$

Substituting into the formula,

$\Delta T=29.8 C-70.4 C=-40.6 C$

And the negative sign means the temperature of the metal has decreased.

In the formula used to solve problems related to the first law of thermodynamics what does Q represent?

KonstantinChe [14]

The heat Q(in) supplied to the system in one stage of the cycle, minus the heat Q(out) removed from it in another stage of the cycle; plus the work added to the system W(in) equals the work that leaves the system W(out)
