Answer: 44% oxygen, 22% magnesium and 21% silicon.

Explanation:

Mantle covers vast majority of the earth's volume. Movement or convection in this layer is responsible for the seismic activity.The structure and composition of the mantle is either the result of geophysical investigation or rocks derived from mantle.

The constituents of mantle are 44% oxygen, 22% magnesium and 21% silicon. There is some amount of iron, aluminium, potassium and sodium in mantle.

I think the mantle is mostly made up of silicon. I am not sure of the answer.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that;

horizontal circle at a rate of 2.33 revolutions per second

the magnetic field of the Earth is 0.500 gauss

the baton is 60.1 cm in length.

the magnetic field is oriented at 14.42°

we wil get the area due to rotation of radius of baton is

$\Delta A = \frac{1}{2} \Delta \theta R^2$

The formula for the induced emf is

$E = \frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}$

$\phi = \texttt {magnetic flux}$

$E=\frac{\Delta (BA) }{\Delta t}$

$=B\frac{\Delta A}{\Delta t}$

B is the magnetic field strength

substitute

$\texttt {substitute}\ \frac{1}{2} \Delta \theta R^2 \ \ for \Delta A$

$E=B\frac{(\Delta \theta R^3/2)}{\Delta t} \\\\=\frac{1}{2} BR^2\omega$

The magnetic field of the earth is oriented at 14.42

$\omega =2.33\\\\L=60.1c,\\\\\theta=14.42\\\\B=0.5$

we plug in the values in the equation above

so, the induce EMF will be

$E=\frac{1}{2} \times (B\sin \theta)R^2\omega\\\\E=\frac{1}{2} \times (B\sin \theta)(\frac{L}{2} )\omega$

$=\frac{1}{2} \times0.5gauss\times\frac{0.0001T}{1gauss} \times\sin 14.42\times(\frac{60.1\times10^-^2m}{2} )^2(2.33rev/s)(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev} )\\\\=2.5\times10^-^5\times0.2490\times0.0903\times14.63982\\\\=2.5\times10^-^5\times0.32917\\\\=8.229\times10^-^6V$
