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.

A 4 kg and 6 kg bowling ball are dropped from the same height at the same time. The two balls strike the ground at the same time

Ray Of Light [21]

The force of gravity on objects is proportional to the mass of each object.

(That's a big part of the reason why, when you eat more and your mass
increases, you weigh more.)

The forces of gravity between the Earth and the 6kg ball are 50% greater
than the forces of gravity between the Earth and the 4kg ball.

(The gravitational forces between the 4kg ball and the 6kg ball, or between
both bowling balls and you, are so small that they may be ignored.)

While a roofer is working on a roof that slants at 39.0 degrees above the horizontal, he accidentally nudges his 88.0 N toolbox,

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

V= 6.974 m/s

Explanation:

Component( box) weight acting parallel and down roof 88(sin39.0°)=55.4 N

Force of kinetic friction acting parallel and up roof = 18.0 N

Fnet force acting on tool box acting parallel and down roof

Fnet= 55.4 - 18.0

Fnet=37.4 N

acceleration of tool box down roof

a = 37.4(9.81)/88.0

a= 4.169 m/s²

d = 4.90 m

t = √2d/a

t= √2(4.90)/4.169

t= 1.662 s

V = at

V= 4.169(1.662)

V= 6.974 m/s

If you were designing a room in a house, where would be the better place to put a heater, near the floor or near the ceiling? Wh

taurus [48]

Answer: The correct explanation is 2.

Explanation: The warm air is less dense (it expands) and thus it is lighter than the cold air so it will rise up to the floor. Therefore, when you place the heater on the floor it will warm the cold air which would then rise and be replaced by more cold air which would again get warm and rise and so on until the room is heated. This means that the correct explanation is 2.

On the other hand, if you put the heater at the ceiling, it will warm the cold air near the ceiling which would stay up there (it is lighter than the cold air under it). This means that the only way for the heat to spread from this ceiling level warm air to the lower levels is via conduction which is slow.
