Answer:

The inner core is solid.

The outer core is liquid and moving.

Earth’s core is composed of iron and nickel.

Explanation:

Convection currents are produced in the outer liquid core. This motion together with the Earth's rotation creates a system of electrical currents, since it is composed of metals such as iron and nickel. The magnetic fields generated by the electric currents align, creating the Earth's magnetic field. The solid inner core acts as a stabilizer of the magnetic field generated by the liquid outer core.

Answer:

1) not so long (maybe an hour or two)

2) access to information through the internet will be most affected if my computer and mobile phone run out of battery power.

3) yes, one should prepare for power outage. This can be done by having a standby alternative source of power like the use of inverters that stores electrical energy in form of chemical energy, and small internal combustion engine powered electric generators.

4) solar panels can be used to draw power from incident sun rays, this power can be stored in an inverter for future use in case of a power outage.

5) energy from the sun is converted into direct current which is then supplied to an accumulator in the opposite direction to its flow of current. When the energy is needed, it can be used directly, or converted to an alternating current. This is achieved by connecting its terminal to the supply. Electric field is generated by flow of ions and electrons within the working chemical (e.g lithium).

The frequency of a microwave is 1.2 x 10^9 hertz. what is the wavelength of the given problem.
Olenka [21]

Answer:

0.25 m

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field, oscillating in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.

All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, the speed of light, whose value is:

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

Microwave is an example of electromagnetic waves.

The relationship between wavelength and frequency for an electromagnetic wave is:

\lambda=\frac{c}{f}

where

\lambda is the wavelength

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s  is the speed of light

f is the frequency

For the microwave in this problem,

f=1.2\cdot 10^9 Hz

So its wavelength is

\lambda=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^8}{1.2\cdot 10^9}=0.25 m
