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.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Hydrogen used in fuel cells has the energy to weight ratio ten times greater than lithium-ion batteries. Consequently, it offers much greater range while being lighter and occupying smaller volumes. It can also be recharged in a few minutes, similarly to gasoline vehicles.

If a ball is rolling across a floor at a constant speed is it accelerating

KATRIN_1 [288]

You already told us that its speed is constant. That's one part of acceleration.

The other part of acceleration is the direction it's moving.

If it's rolling in a straight line, then there's no acceleration.

If it's curving left or right, then that's acceleration.

When operated on a household 110.0 V line, typical hair dryers draw about 1650 W of power. The current can be modeled as a long,

Andre45 [30]

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage of household line, V = 110 V

Power of the hairdryer, P = 1650 W

During use, the current is about 1.95 cm from the user's hand.

(a) Power is given by :

$P=V\times I\\\\I=\dfrac{P}{V}\\\\I=\dfrac{1650\ W}{110\ V}\\\\I=15\ A$

(b) Again the power is given by :

$P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}$

R is resistance of the dryer

$R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}\\\\R=\dfrac{(110)^2}{1650}\\\\R=7.34\ \Omega$

(c) The magnetic field produced by the dryer at the user's hand is given by :

$B=\dfrac{\mu_o I}{2\pi r}\\\\B=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 15}{2\pi \times 1.95\times 10^{-2}}\\\\B=1.53\times 10^{-4}\ T$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Juan lives 100 m away from Bill.What is Juan's averege speed if he reaches Bill's home in 50 s?

Tom [10]

Juan lives a hundred miles away from Bill then the average speed that he reaches Bill's Home in 50 seconds means that Juan lives 50 seconds away from bill because 50 + 50 seconds equals 100 seconds so Juansorry my bad Juan lives 50 miles away from Belle but he probably how I must have run to get to bill in 50 seconds .
