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.

A soccer ball kicked with a force of 12.5 N accelerates at 6.2 m/s’ to the right. What is the mass of the ball? Answer in units

stepladder [879]

Answer:

m = 2.01[kg]

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using Newton's second law which tells us that the force applied on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

$F =m*a$

where:

F = force = 12.5 [N]

m = mass [kg]

a = acceleration = 6.2 [m/s²]

$12.5=m*6.2\\m = 2.01[kg]$

The sun rotates once in 25.05 days. That is 601.2 hours. so the sun's rotational speed is 0.0017 rotations per hour. what is the

Margaret [11]

Answer:

$v=2019.09\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

time taken by the sun to complete one revolution, $t=601.2\ hr$

radial distance of the sunspot, $r=6.955\times 10^8\ m.s^{-1}$

<u>Therefore, angular speed of rotation of sun:</u>

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{601.2\times 3600} \ rad.s^{-1}$

<u>Now the tangential velocity of the sunspot can be given by:</u>

$v=r.\omega$

$v=6.955\times 10^8\times \frac{2\pi}{601.2\times 3600}$

$v=2019.09\ m.s^{-1}$

Evaluate the gravitational potential energy between two 5.00-kg spherical steel balls separated by a center-tocenter distance of

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

U = 8.30×10-⁹J

Explanation:

m1 = m2 = 5.00kg masses of the spheres

d = 15.0cm = 15×10-²m

r = 5.10cm = 5.10×10-²m

R = d + r = 15×10-² + 5.10×10-²

R = 20.10 ×10-²m = 0.201m

G = 6.67×10-¹¹Nm²/kg²

U = Gm1×m2/R = potential energybetween the spheres

U = 6.67×10-¹¹×5.00×5.00/0.201

U = 8.30×10-⁹J
