The weight of air resting on a surface, divided by the area
of the surface ... described in units of force per unit area ...
is called air pressure.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
<em>A. His speed is 0 m/s
</em>
<em>B. His velocity is 12 m/s
</em>
<em>C. His velocity is 0 m/s
</em>
<em>D. His acceleration is 12 m/s</em>
Total distance traveled by John = 120 + 120 = 240 meters
Total time taken by John to cover the distance = 10 + 10 = 20 s
<em>Average speed of John = total distance traveled/total time taken</em>
= 240/20 = 12 m/s
Hence, the average speed/velocity of John throughout the journey is 12 m/s.
The correct option is B.
Answer:
The Earth's magnetism is generated in the core, which is composed of iron that is constantly churning
Explanation:
Magnetic fields are produced by charges in motion, therefore by currents.
The outer core of the Earth consists mainly of melted iron that is in constant motion. This iron in motion actually acts as a giant current, and therefore it is responsible for the creation of the Earth's magnetic field.
The magnetic field of the Earth is very weak, in fact its magnitude is on average between 25 and 65 microtesla (for comparison, normal magnets can even produce magnetic fields of a few millitesla).
However, its role is very important for the Earth: in fact, it provides a shield that blocks most of the harmful radiation coming from the Sun.
