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.

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

P = 3.92 10¹⁰ W

Explanation:

The power is data by the expression

         P = W / t

the work of a force is

         W = F. y

the bold ones represent vectors. In this case the displacement is vertical upwards and the vertical forces upwards, therefore the angle is zero and the cos 0 = 1

          W = F y

we substitute

          P = F y / t

          P = F v

as the body rises at constant speed the acceleration is zero and from the equilibrium condition

            F -W = 0

            F = mg

we substitute

           P = m g v

let's calculate

           P 1.00 10⁹ 9.8  4

           P = 3.92 10¹⁰ W
