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.

Sound is an example of a ____ Wave.

sesenic [268]

Answer:

Mechanical Waves

Explanation:Sound waves in air are longitudinal waves because particles of the medium through which the sound is transported vibrate parallel to the direction that the sound wave moves. A vibrating string can create longitudinal waves.

What is the frequency of a photon that has the same momentum as a neutron moving with a speed of 1.90 × 103 m/s?

Minchanka [31]

The mass of a neutron is:
$m=1.67 \cdot 10^{-27}kg$
Since we know its speed, we can calculate the neutron's momentum:
$p=mv=(1.67 \cdot 10^{-27}kg)(1.90 \cdot 10^3 m/s)=3.17 \cdot 10^{-24} kg m/s$

The problem says the photon has the same momentum of the neutron, p. The photon momentum is given by
$p= \frac{h}{\lambda}$
where h is the Planck constant, and $\lambda$ is the photon wavelength. If we re-arrange the equation and we use the momentum we found before, we can calculate the photon's wavelength:
$\lambda= \frac{h}{p}= \frac{6.6 \cdot 10^{-34}Js}{3.17 \cdot 10^{-24} kg m/s}=2.08 \cdot 10^{-10} m$

And since we know the photon travels at speed of light c, we can now calculate the photon frequency:
$f= \frac{c}{\lambda}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{2.08 \cdot 10^{-10} m}= 1.44 \cdot 10^{18} Hz$

Find the distance (P1, P2) between the points P, and P2:

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

$\mathfrak{\huge{\orange{\underline{\underline{AnSwEr:-}}}}}$

Actually Welcome to the concept of distance formula.

Distance formula ==>

$\sqrt{( {x2 - x1})^{2} + ( {y2 - y1})^{2} }$

so applying this we get as,

D = underoot (9)^2 + (-5)^2

==> D = 10.29 units

distance = 10.29 units
