Question: Which statement best explains why Earth’s outer core is in liquid form?

The iron-nickel alloy melts due to hot temperatures.

The outer core has a tarry consistency.

This region is less dense when compared to the mantle.

This region is under extreme pressure from the weight of other layers.

Answer:

The statement here that bet describes the Earth's outer core is in liquid form " The iron-nickel alloy melts due to hot temperatures."

Explanation:

The outer core of the Earth's is made up of fluid layer which is about 2400 km thick and basically made from iron as well as nickel alloy. This layer lies just above the solid inner core and below it mantle is present. The core of the Earth works like a furnace for the whole composition. It holds the intense heat as well as pressure that helps is maintaining the iron and nickel in the molten state.

A basket has a mass of 5.5 kg. Find the magnitude of the normal force if the basket is at rest on a ramp inclined above the hori
Ivenika [448]
The free body diagram consists of:

1) Weight force, which is a vertical arrow downward

2) A Normal force that is perpendicular to the ramp.

The Normal force can be decomposed in a vertical component and an horizontal component.

The vertical component, Ny,  must equal the weight force, due to equilibrium (rest) condiition =>

Ny = weight = m*g = 5.5kg*9.8m/s^2 = 53.9 N

By geometry the vertical component of the Normal force, Ny is such that

cos (angle) = N / Ny => N = Ny * cos(angle)

=> N = 53.9N * cos(angle)

Now use that equation for each option:

a) 0 ° => N = 53.9N * cos(0) = 53.9N

b) 12° => N = 53.9 * cos(12) = 52.7N

c) 25° => N = 53.9 * cos(25) = 48.9N

d) 45° => N = 53.9 * cos(45) = 38.1N
