Answer:

So the answer is <u><em>B - Asthenosphere</em></u>

Explanation:

The earth has four layers; the crust, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core. The Earth’s magnetic field is the combination from the convection it receives from the outer core and the Coriolis Effect. The layer of earth where mantle convection occurs is the asthenosphere. The answer is letter B. The outer core is composed mostly of liquid nickel and iron. It is expected to have that state of metal because it has a higher temperature. The inner core cannot hold much of the magnetic field because of its high temperature and high pressure that exceeds the outer core. The temperature decreases however as the layer goes outwards.

An electron and a proton are both released from rest, midway between the plates of a charged parallel-plate capacitor. The only
topjm [15]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the potential difference between the middle point and one of the plate be ΔV .

electric potential energy will be lost and it will be converted into kinetic energy .

Electrical potential energy lost = Vq , where q is charge on charge particle .

For proton

ΔV× q = 1/2 M V² ( kinetic energy of proton )

where M is mass and V be final velocity of proton .

For electron

ΔV× q = 1/2 m v² ( kinetic energy of electron  )

where m is mass and v be final velocity of electron . Charges on proton and electron are same in magnitude .

As LHS of both the equation are same , RHS will also be same . That means the kinetic energy of both proton and electron will be same

1/2 M V² =  1/2 m v²

(V / v )² = ( m / M )

(V / v ) = √ ( m / M )

In other words , their velocities  are  inversely proportional to square root of their masses .

A box-shaped metal can has dimensions 5 in. by 19 in. by 4 in. high. All of the air inside the can is removed with a vacuum pump
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

The force is  F  =  1397 lb

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The length of the box is  l  =  19 \ in

    The width of the box is  w =  5 \ in

     The height is  h  =  4\ in

The pressure experience on one of the sides is mathematically represented as

     p = \frac{F}{A}

Where A is the area of the box which is mathematically evaluated as

    A =  l * w

substituting values

     A =  5 *19

      A = 95 \ in^2

This pressure is equivalent to the atmospheric pressure which has a constant value of  p = 14.7 pi

This implies that

        14.7  = \frac{F}{95}

=>   F  =  14.7 *95

=>    F  =  1397 lb
