Answer:

The primary contributors to heat in the core are the decay of radioactive elements, leftover heat from planetary formation, and heat released as the liquid outer core solidifies near its boundary with the inner core.

Hello!

Answer and explanation:

There are three main sources of heat in the deep earth:

1) heat from when the planet formed and accreted, which has not yet been lost.

2)frictional heating, caused by denser core material sinking to the center of the planet.

3) heat from the decay of radioactive elements.

aleksley [76]

Answer: In the case of gravity, mediated by spin 2 particles, charge is mass, which is always positive. Thus, q1q2 is always greater than zero, and gravity is always attractive. For spin 0 force mediators, however, there is no restriction on the charges and you can very well have repulsive forces.

Explanation: C) both an attractive and repulsive force is the answer

Convert 1 mm to meters using scientific notation. Include units in your answer.
irinina [24]

Answer: The answer in scientific notation with the unit included is (1 × 10^-3m.)

Explanation:

In the field of physics, when working with too large or too small numbers, such can be expressed with the use of scientific notation. This helps to eliminate huge or ambiguous numbers with significant units. It is written is such a way that the first number is greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10 which is then multiplied by a factor of 10.

Units are symbols that are used to represent a measurement For example the unit of meters is (m).

Converting 1mm to m:

1000millimeters = 1meter

1 millimetre = X

Making X the subject of formula,

X = 1 ×1 /1000

X = 0.001m

Therefore expressing X in scientific notation is

1 × 10^-3meter (m)
