What provides the source of the earth’s magnetic field?

<h2>Answer: the core of the earth</h2>

The explanation accepted by science until now, indicates that Earth's magnetic field is generated in the deepest of the terrestrial nucleus.

This is due to the movements of liquid metals in the core of the planet.

To explain it in more detail:

Right in the center of the Earth there is an internal core of solid iron at a very high temperature, this iron is as hot as the surface of the Sun, however, the pressure caused by the gravity force prevents it from becoming liquid. Around this inner core is the outer core, a layer of approximately 2000 km thick, composed of iron, nickel and small amounts of other metals in liquid state. Due to the lower pressure of the outer core, in relation to the inner core, the metal here is fluid (molten).

The differences in temperature, pressure and composition within the outer core cause convection currents in the molten metal, as the cold, dense matter sinks, and the warm, less dense matter rises. In addition, the Coriolis force, resulting from the spin of the Earth, also causes eddies in this mixture of molten metals.

This is how the movement of liquid iron inside the Earth generates electric currents, which in turn produce magnetic fields, and the spiral caused by the Coriolis force causes the magnetic fields to align in approximately the same direction, being this combined effect added to produce a vast magnetic field that envelops the entire planet.

This field extends from the terrestrial nucleus, progressively attenuating itself in outer space. However, it should be noted that unlike the field of a bar magnet, the Earth's magnetic field changes over time because it is actually generated by the movement of the iron alloys in the Earth's outer core, which causes the poles to move.

Two loudspeakers emit sound waves along the x-axis. The sound has maximum intensity when the speakers are 20 cm apart. The sound
Sophie [7]

Answer:

a. Wavelength = λ = 20 cm

b. Next distance of maximum intensity will be 40 cm

Explanation:

a. The distance between the two speakers is 20cm. SInce the intensity is maximum which refers that we have constructive interference and the phase difference must be an even multiple of π and equivalent path difference is nλ.

Now when distance increases upto 30 cm between the speakers, the sound intensity becomes zero which means that there is destructive interference and equivalent path is now increased from nλ to nλ + λ/2.

This we get the equation:

(nλ + λ/2) - nλ = 30-20

λ/2 = 10

λ = 20 cm

b. at what distance, sound intensity will be maximum again.

For next point calculation for maximum sound intensity, the path difference must be increased (n+1) λ. The distance must increase by λ/2 from the point of zero intensity.

= 30 + λ/2

= 30 + 20/2

=30+10

=40 cm

Calculate the maximal friction force for a parked car between the rubber tires and a wet street. Assume the car’s mass is 1600 k
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Fr=12544N

Explanation:

1. Find the equation of eht maximal friction force:

The maximal friction force is given by the equation Fr=usmg, where μs is the static friction coefficient, m is the car´s mass and g is the gravitational force.

2. Replace values in the equation to find the answer:

Fr=0.8*1600kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}

Fr=12544N

A disk-shaped platform has a known rotational inertia ID. The platform is mounted on a fixed axle and rotates in a horizontal pl
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The angular momentum of that same disk-sphere remains unchanged the very same way before and after the impact of the collision when the clay sphere adheres to the disk.

 \mathbf{I_w} = constant.

The overall value of such moment of inertia is now altered when the clay spherical sticks. Due to the inclusion of the clay sphere, the moment of inertia will essentially rise. As a result of this increase, the angular speed w decreases in value.

Recall that:

The Kinetic energy is given by:

\mathbf{K = \dfrac{1}{2} Iw^2} \\ \\\mathbf{K = \dfrac{1}{2} lw*w}

where;

\mathbf{I_w} is constant and w reduces;

As a result, just after the collision, the system's total kinetic energy decreases.
