Answer:

Middle layer, density increases with depth as pressure increases

Explanation:

The Earth's mantle is the middle layer of the earth. It is the largest layer of the earth consisting of about 83 % of the earth's volume and continues to a depth of 2900 km. Also, the mantle is hot and made of solid rock. It is hot since it is close to the core and its pressure and density increases with depth causing it to be more solid.

So, the Earth's mantle is the middle layer, density increases with depth as pressure increases.

Advocard [28]

Answer:

119 cm

Explanation:

Given heights : 200cm , 188 cm , 175 cm, 160 cm

since the eyes are at 95% level

95% of 200 cm = 190 cm

95% of 160 cm = 152 cm

hence the allowable height of mirror = 200 - ( 5 + 76 ) = 119 cm

and The mirror should be hung 75cm from the floor

Light travels at a constant speed of about 300,000 km/s. This speed is referred to as the speed of light. A light year is the di

Rama09 [41]

Based on the information in the question, a light year is the distance traveled light in one year. Then if the light from the star Centauri takes 4.2 years to reach the earth, then its distance from earth is 4.2 light years.

Ccording to coulomb's law, which pair of charged particles has the lowest potential energy? according to coulomb's law, which pa

Sladkaya [172]

Coulombs law says that the force between any two charges depends on the amount of charges and distance between them. This force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the two charges and inversely proportional to the distance between them.

$F=k\frac{|q_1| |q_2|}{r^2}$

where $q_1\hspace{1mm}and\hspace{1mm}q_2$ are charges, $r$ is the distance between them and k is the coulomb constant.

case 1:

$q_1=-e\\ q_2=+3e\\ r=100pm\\ \Rightarrow F=k\frac{|-e||3e|}{(100pm)^2}=3ke^2\times10^8$

case 2

$q_1=-e\\ q_2=+2e\\ r=100pm\\ \Rightarrow F=k\frac{|-e||2e|}{(100pm)^2}=2ke^2\times10^8$

case 3:

$q_1=-e\\ q_2=+e\\ r=100pm\\ \Rightarrow F=k\frac{|-e||e|}{(200pm)^2}=0.25ke^2\times10^8$

Comparing the 3 cases:

The maximum potential force according to coulombs law is between -1 charge and +3 charge separated by a distance of 100 pm.

22. State any three features of the electroscope.

MatroZZZ [7]

-1- was created in the 1600 by william gilbert
-2-When the charge is positive, electrons in the metal of the electroscope are attracted to the charge and move upward out of the leaves. This results in the leaves to have a temporary positive charge and because like charges repel, the leaves separate. When the charge is removed, the electrons return to their original positions and the leaves relax
3-

An electroscope is made up of a metal detector knob on top which is connected to a pair of metal leaves hanging from the bottom of the connecting rod. When no charge is present the metals leaves hang loosely downward. But, when an object with a charge is brought near an electroscope, one of the two things can happen.
