Answer: B. meteorites, UV rays

The earth's atmosphere plays an important role in shielding the space rocks and meteorites enters inside the earth due to collision with the celestial body. Due to high heat and pressure in the mesospheric layer of the atmosphere these meteorites burned up before reaching the biosphere or hydrosphere system of the earth. The UV rays are protected from entering into the earth atmosphere by the ozone layer present in the stratosphere of the atmosphere. Both meteorites and UV rays can negatively effect the human population. Therefore, the atmosphere is an agent which provides protection against them.

Answer:

B. meteorites, UV rays

Explanation:

Atmosphere of Earth acts like a protective layer around us. It also protects us from:

1. Meteoroid: These are small space rocks revolving around the Sun but cross the orbit of Earth. When the Earth crosses through such areas these rocks get attracted towards Earth due to gravity and move at a very high speed. The atmosphere prevents all the meteoroids from hitting the surface. This happens because the meteoroids get burned in the atmosphere itself due to friction. These burnt meteoroid appear like a shooting star and are called as Meteors. If some part of the rock still survives and land on Earth, it is called as meteorite. If the atmosphere was not there all small/large meteoroid would have hit the Earth.

2. UV rays: UV or ultraviolet rays are a a part of the whole EM spectrum and Sun is a major source of UV rays for us. But UV rays are harmful for us. These rays are blocked by the ozone layer of atmosphere.

natita [175]

Answer:

Explanation:

She's correct but doesn't mean the wagon cannot put into motion. The force that she applied on the wagon, according to Newton's 2nd law, would have generated an acceleration, which translates into motion. The reaction force the wagon applies on her due to Newton's 3rd law, would not hinder its own motion.

A mass on a spring vibrates in simple harmonic motion at an amplitude of 8.0 cm. If the mass of the object is 0.20 kg and the sp
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Frequency, f = 3.73Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of a simple harmonic 6is given by:

f = w/2pi

But w= Sqrt( k/m)

Where k is the spring constant

And m is the mass

Given:

Mass=0.20kg

Spring constant, k=130N/m

w= Sqrt(130/0.20)

w= Sqrt(650)

w= 25.50 m

Frequency, f = w/2pi

f = 25.50/(2×3.142)

f = 3.73Hz

Two stones resembling diamonds are suspected of being fakes. To determine if the stones might be real, the mass and volume of ea
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

stone A is diamond.

Explanation:

given,

Volume of the two stone =  0.15 cm³

Mass of stone A = 0.52 g

Mass of stone B = 0.42 g

Density of the diamond =  3.5 g/cm³

So, to find which stone is gold we have to calculate the density of both the stone.

We know,

density\density = \dfrac{mass}{volume}

density of stone A

\rho_A = \dfrac{0.52}{0.15}

\rho_A = 3.467\ g/cm^3

density of stone B.

\rho_B = \dfrac{0.42}{0.15}

\rho_B = 2.8\ g/cm^3

Hence, the density of the stone A is the equal to Diamond then stone A is diamond.
