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.

In classical physics, consider a 2 kg block hanging on a spring with a spring constant of 50 N/m. Ignore air resistance. The blo

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

v = 0

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by taking into account:

- The equation for the calculation of the period in a spring-masss system

$T = \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$ ( 1 )

- The equation for the velocity of a simple harmonic motion

$x = \frac{2\pi }{T}Asin(\frac{2\pi }{T}t)$ ( 2 )

where m is the mass of the block, k is the spring constant, A is the amplitude (in this case A = 14 cm) and v is the velocity of the block

Hence

$T = \sqrt{\frac{2 kg}{50 N/m}} = 0.2 s$

and by reeplacing it in ( 2 ):

$v = \frac{2\pi }{0.2s}(14cm)sin(\frac{2\pi }{0.2s}(0.9s)) = 140\pi sin(9\pi ) = 0$

In this case for 0.9 s the velocity is zero, that is, the block is in a position with the max displacement from the equilibrium.

What is the relationship between inertia and mass?

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The greater the mass, the greater the inertia, and vice versa.

Remark: This means that a more massive object has a greater tendency to resist a change in its state of rest or motion.

Find a parametric representation for the surface. The plane through the origin that contains the vectors i - j and j - k

boyakko [2]

Answer:

parametric representation: x = u, y = v - u , z = - v

Explanation:

Given vectors :

i - j , j - k

represent the vector equation of the plane as:

r ( u, v ) = r₀ + <em>u</em>a + vb

where: r₀ = position vector

u and v = real numbers

a and b = nonparallel vectors

expressing the nonparallel vectors as :

a = i -j , b = j - k , r = ( x,y,z ) and r₀ = ( x₀, y₀, z₀ )

hence we can express vector equation of the plane as

r(u,v) = ( x₀ + u, y₀ - u + v, z₀ - v )

Finally the parametric representation of the surface through (0,0,0) i.e. origin = 0

( x, y , z ) = ( x₀ + u, y₀ - u + v, z₀ - v )

x = 0 + u ,

y = 0 - u + v

z = 0 - v

∴ parametric representation: x = u, y = v - u , z = - v

What is one way that fission and fusion are similar?

Kazeer [188]

They both involve atoms. Other than that they're the exact opposite of each other. Fusion is putting atoms together. Fission is taking them apart.
