Heat within the earth generates convection currents in the mantle. Convection currents represent the circular motion of molten rocks in the mantle driven by heat from the core. This circular motion is what drives the plates and creates the theory of plate tectonics which states that the earth crust is divided into plates that float on the semi-molten mantle below.
The electric force is small in comparison because charges are VERY small but the
gravitational force has to do with the mass of the Earth and Moon.
Answer:
They provide a source of electrons to be released by the photoelectric effect, and They provide a path through which released electrons move to form an electric current.

Answer:
The tension in string P is 25 N, while that of Q is 85 N.
Explanation:
Considering the conditions for equilibrium,
i. Total upward force = Total downward force
+ = 110 N
ii. Taking moment about P,
clockwise moment = anticlockwise moment
110 × (2.5 - 0.8) = × (3 - 0.8)
110 × 1.7 = × 2.2
187 = 2.2
=
= 85 N
From the first condition,
+ = 110 N
+ 85 N = 110 N
= 110 - 85
25 N
Therefore, the tension in string P is 25 N while that of Q is 85 N.
Answer:
1. Thermal Energy is the internal energy that is produced from the temperature of a heated substance/object.
2. From the potato to the soup and from the soup to the surrounding room
Explanation:
1. When an object or substance is heated it causes a rise in temperature which makes the atoms and molecules within the object move/vibrate faster and collide with each other. This kinetic energy energy comes from the temperature of the object being heated and is the thermal energy.
2. The atoms present in a hot object have higher kinetic energy when compared to a colder object and usually flow towards the colder object. This is why it is possible for the hot potato whose temperature is higher than the bowl of soup to flow towards the soup and from the soup to the surrounding room.
