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.

1. A ball falls from a height "h" from a tower. Which of the following statements is true?
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

the total kinetic and potential energy of the ball is constant (mechanical energy remains the same)

Explanation:

As the ball falls, kinetic energy is increased in direct relation with the decrease in potential energy

ΔKE + ΔPE = 0

A particle of mass M moves along a straight line with initial speed vi. A force of magnitude F pushes the particle a distance D
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial kinetic energy of M = 1/2 M vi²

let final velocity be vf

v² = u² + 2a s

vf² =  vi² + 2 (F / M) x D

Kinetic energy

= 1/2 Mvf²

= 1/2 M ( vi² + 2 (F / M) x D

1/2 M vi² + FD

Ratio with initial value

1/2 M  vi² + FD) / 1/2 M  vi²

RK = 1 + FD / 2 M  vi²

Calculate the magnitude and direction of the electric field 2.0 m from a long wire that is charged uniformly at λ = 4.0 × 10-6 C
Len [333]

Answer: 71.93 *10^3 N/C

Explanation: In order to calculate the electric field from long wire we have to use the Gaussian law, this is:

∫E*dr=Q inside/εo  Q inside is given by: λ*L then,

E*2*π*r*L=λ*L/εo

E= λ/(2*π*εo*r)= 4* 10^-6/(2*3.1415*8.85*10^-12*2 )= 71.93 * 10^3 N/C
