Answer: Scientists found evidence of Earths magnetic field reversal in rocks on the ocean floor at plate boundaries. These rocks have alternating polarity due to magnetization that occurred during their cooling period. Using radio metric dating, scientist estimate that reversals occur approximately every several hundred thousand years.
Explanation:
Answer:
30N in the direction the 45N acts.
Explanation:
Fnet = F1 + F2 (the vector sum of the forces)
Assigning a positive direction to the 45N force and a negative direction to the 15N force gives:
Fnet = 45 - 15
Fnet = 30N
Since the answer is positive, it is in the direction the 45N force acts.
Answer:
A total eclipse occurs when the dark silhouette of the Moon completely obscures the intensely bright light of the Sun, allowing the much fainter solar aureole to be visible. During any one eclipse, totality occurs at best only in a narrow track on the surface of Earth. This narrow track is called the path of totality.
A partial lunar eclipse happens when part of the Moon enters Earth's shadow. In a partial eclipse, Earth's shadow appears very dark on the side of the Moon facing Earth.

order to determine the mass of a standard baseball if it had the same density
(mass per unit volume) as a proton or neutron, we first determine the volume of
the baseball. The formula to be used is V_sphere = (4/3)*pi*r^3. In this case, the
radius r can be obtained from the circumference C, C = 2*pi*r. After plugging
in C = 23 cm to the equation, we get r = 3.6066 cm. The volume of the baseball
is then equal to 205.4625 cm^3.
Next,
take note of these necessary information:
Mass of a neutron/proton
= 10^-27 kg
Diameter of a
neutron/proton = 10^-15 m
Radius of a
neutron/proton = [(10^-15)/2]*100 = 5x10^-14 cm
<span>Thus,
the density, M/V of the neutron/proton is equal to 1.9099x10^12 kg/cm^3. Finally,
the mass of the baseball if it was a neutron/proton can be determined by
multiplying the density of the neutron/proton with the volume of the baseball. The
final answer is then a large value of 3.9241x10^14 kg.</span>
