Answer:

there are many way but this may help

Explanation:

The tendency of a magnet to align itself in a north-south direction, so giving a magnetic compass, was discovered by the Chinese about 2000 years ago. Then in 1600 William Gilbert published De Magnete, in which he concluded that the earth behaved as a giant magnet. ...

Answer: Larmor suggested in 1919 that a self-exciting dynamo could explain the magnetic field of the earth, as well as that of the sun and other stars, but it was Elsasser and Bullard in the 1940s who showed how motion in the liquid core of the earth might produce a self-sustaining magnetic field. By this time seismology and other studies had given a clearer picture of the earth, as having a solid inner core, a liquid outer core, both with a composition more of metal (mainly iron) than rock, and a rocky mantle, all below a thin crust that is all we can directly see. Energy from radioactivity travels outwards as heat, producing thermal convection in the core. It seems that this convection is the cause of the earth's magnetic field, although our knowledge of the core and its dynamics is sketchy. Our knowledge is limited to saying that flow regimes like those that may be occurring in the core can produce self-sustaining dynamos, with characteristics similar to that needed to produce the earth’s magnetic field.

A stone is dropped from rest from the top of a cliff into a pond below. If its initial height is 10 m, what is its speed when it

Brut [27]

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the stone is a free fall motion, so an accelerated motion with constant acceleration g = 9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. So, we can use the following SUVAT equation:

$v^2 -u^2 = 2gh$

where

v is the final speed of the stone as it reaches the water

u = 0 is the initial speed

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

h = 10 m is the distance covered by the stone

Solving for v, we find

$v=\sqrt{u^2+2gh}=\sqrt{0+2(9.8 m/s^2)(10 m)}=14 m/s$

8892 ml to grams then to mg

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

8892 ml = 8892 gm = 8892000 mg

1 ml = 1 gram

8892 ml = 8892 gram

1 gram or ml = 1000 milligram

8892 ml = 8892 × 1000 = 8892000 milligram

hope this helps

have a good day :)

Explanation:

remember: 1 kilogram = 1000 gram = 1000000 milligram.

Milliliter is expressed same as gram and liter is expressed same as kilogram.

1 meter = 100 cm, 1 kilometer = 1000 meter,

1 cm = 10 millimeter.

Two movers are pushing a large crate with a force of 60.0 n each. one pushes north, the other east. what is the equilibrant forc

romanna [79]

To get the solution you must need to draw a force triangle. Attach the head of the 60N north force arrow with the tail of the 60N east force arrow. The subsequent is the arrow connecting he tail and head of the two arrows.
You get a right angled triangle, and the resultant is (60^2 + 60^2) ^0.5 = 84.85 N or 85 N northeast.

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

If the mass of B is m and the temperature change is the same, the mass of B will be 2m.

Explanation:

Q = mcT

T = mc/Q

M = 4Q/2cT........... (1)

T = Q/mc

Plug this in equation 1.

M = 4Q/(2c × Q/mc) = 4Q ÷ 2Q/m = 4Q × m/2Q = 2m
