C. Lithosphere, I believe is correct

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.

The y component of a vector is 36, and the angle between the vector and the x axis is 27 what is the magnitude of the vector
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Magnitude of Vector = 79.3

Explanation:

When a vector is resolved into its rectangular components, it forms two vector components. These components  are named as x-component and y-component, they are calculated by the following formulae:

x-component of vector = (Magnitude of Vector)(Cos θ)

y-component of vector = (Magnitude of Vector)(Sin θ)

where,

θ = angle of the vector with x-axis = 27°

Therefore, using the values in the equation of y-component, we get:

36 = (Magnitude of Vector)(Sin 27°)

Magnitude of Vector = 36/Sin 27°

<u>Magnitude of Vector = 79.3</u>

A damped mass/spring system takes 14.0 s for its amplitude of the oscillator to decrease by a factor of 9. By what factor does t
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The correct answer is "0.246".

Explanation:

Given that the amplitude is decreased by a factor of 9, then

A \rightarrow (A-\frac{A}{9} )

A \rightarrow \frac{8A}{9}

As we know,

Energy will be:

⇒  E_{1}=\frac{1}{2}KA^2

and,

⇒  E_{2}=\frac{1}{2}K(\frac{8A}{9} )^2

          =\frac{64KA^2}{162}

⇒  \Delta E=E_1-E_2

On putting the estimated values, we get

           =\frac{1}{2}KA^2-\frac{64KA^2}{162}

⇒  \frac{\Delta E}{E}=\frac{\frac{20}{162}KA^2}{\frac{1}{2}KA^2}

          =\frac{40}{162}

          =0.246

The starter motor of a car engine draws a current of 140 A from the battery. The copper wire to the motor is 4.20 mm in diameter
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

(a)106.4C

b)0.5676mm

Explanation:

(a)To get the charge that have passed through the starter then The current will be multiplied by the duration

I= current

t= time taken

Q= required charge

Q= I*t = 140*0.760 = 106.C

(b) b. How far does an electron travel along the wire while the starter motor is on?(mm)

diameter of the conductor is 4.20 mm

But Radius= diameter/2= 4.20/2=

The radius of the conductor is 2.1mm, then if we convert to metre for consistency same then

radius of the conductor is 0.0021m.

We can now calculate the area of the conductor which is

A = π*r^2

= π*(0.0021)^2 = 13.85*10^-6 m^2

We can proceed to calculate the current density below

J = 140/13.85*10^-6 = 10108303A/m

According to the listed reference:

Where e= 1.6*10^-19

n= 8.46*10^28

Vd = J/(n*e) = 10108303/ ( 8.46*10^28 * 1.6*10^-19 ) =0.0007468m/s=0 .7468 mm/s

Therefore , the distance traveled is:

x = v*t = 0.7468 * 0.760 = 0.5676mm
