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.

I am trying to find the magnitude of a resultant vector. Do i take inconsideration the negatives when i find the x &amp; y compo
attashe74 [19]
Absolutely !  If you have two vectors with equal magnitudes and opposite
directions, then one of them is the negative of the other.  Their correct
vector sum is zero, and that's exactly the magnitude of the resultant vector.

(Think of fifty football players pulling on each end of the rope in a tug-of-war. 
Their forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign, and the flag that
hangs from the middle of the rope goes nowhere, because the resultant
force on it is zero.)

This gross, messy explanation is completely applicable when you're totaling up
the x-components or the y-components.

How can you say that joule and Newton are derived units​
maxonik [38]

Answer:

F = M a    where M is acceleration and a is acceleration

a = x / s^2 = distance / time squared

The Newton is derived because mass, distance, and time are all fundamental units One would have to look at the fundamental requirements for these definitions, but they can all be repeated in a laboratory.

So the Newton is determined from these fundamental units and since the Joule equals Newton * Distance it is also derived from the fundamental units.

If one has the three fundamental units then one can derive the Joule and Newton.

What conclusions can be drawn about the existence of nitrogen-14 and nitrogen-15? A) They are isotopes of nitrogen and they cont
AleksandrR [38]
<span>Answer: A) They are isotopes of nitrogen and they contain the same number of protons and electrons but each contains a different number of neutrons - 7 and 8 respectively.

Isotopes are atoms of a chemical element whose nucleus has the same atomic number, Z, but different atomic mass, A. The atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in the atom, therefore the isotopes of an element contain the same number of protons and electrons (atoms have to be neutral particles). The difference in atomic masses arises from the difference in the number of neutrons in the atomic nucleus.
