<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.

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Hello your question has some missing parts attached below is the complete question

answer : 4 μm

Explanation:

since the scale bar works the same way as a scale on a map , each bar will therefore represent 1 μm and the mature parent cell's is about 4 times the labeled value hence the Mature parent cell diameter will approximately be : 4 μm

50 grams of ice cubes at -15°C are used to chill a water at 30°C with mass mH20 = 200 g. Assume that the water is kept in a foam
Arada [10]

Answer : The final temperature is, 25.0^oC

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of ice = 2.09J/g^oC

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.18J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of ice = 50 g

m_2 = mass of water = 200 g

T_f = final temperature = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of ice = -15^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 30^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

50g\times 2.09J/g^oC\times (T_f-(-15))^oC=-200g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (T_f-30)^oC

T_f=25.0^oC

Therefore, the final temperature is, 25.0^oC

What will occur when the waves peak at the same place at the same time?
dedylja [7]
Hello!

This is a matter of superposition.
When the waves peak at the same time and place, they produce constructive interference, meaning the waves interact together in a positive way, to make a wave with Amplitude of both waves added together. When the peaks differ however, at the same time and place, then it is destructive interference and the waves essentially cancel each other out.

Hope this helps. Any questions please just ask. Thank you kindly.

An example of an exothermic reaction is:
elena55 [62]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Exothermic refers to a RELEASE of energy through a reaction(usually chemical). When salt dissociates, polar water molecules pull apart ions, releasing energy.

In the diagram, q1 = +6.60*10^-9 C and q2 = +3.10*10^-9 C. Find the magnitude of the total electric field at point P. pls help?
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

|E(t)| = 1258,46 [N/C]

α = 67,5⁰  (angle with respect x-axis)

Explanation:

E(t)  Electric Field is a vector, so we need to determine module and direction

E(t)  =  E(q₁)  + E (q₂)  Where E(q₁) and E (q₂) are electric fields due to electric charge q₁ and q₂  respectively.

E(q₁) = K * q₁/ (d₁)²         K = 9 *10⁹   [N*m²/C²]    d₁ = 0,350 m

E(q₁) = 9 *10⁹ * 6,6*10⁻⁹ / 0,1225      [N*m²/C²] *C/m²

E(q₁) = 484,9 [N/C]

E(q₂) =  9 *10⁹ * 3,1*10⁻⁹ / 0,024025

E(q₂) = 1161,29

Then

|E(t)| = √ |Eq₁|² + |Eq₂|²

|E(t)| = √ ( 484,9)² +( 1161,29)²

|E(t)| = √ 235128 + 1348594,46

|E(t)| = 1258,46 [N/C]

And tanα = 1161,29/484,9        tanα =  2,395      α = 67,5⁰

The angle of the vector electric field with the x-axis
