The atmosphere protects us from _____ and _____.

Physics

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.

1. Should water be classified as renewable or nonrenewable? Explain your reasoning.
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Renewable Resource Hydropower is renewed by the Earth's hydrologic cycle. Water has also been considered renewable, but overpumping of groundwater is depleting aquifers, and pollution threatens the use of many water resources, showing that the consequences of resource use are not always simple depletion.For low-mass stars (left hand side), after the helium has fused into carbon, the core collapses again. As the core collapses, the outer layers of the star are expelled. A planetary nebula is formed by the outer layers. The core remains as a white dwarf and eventually cools to become a black dwarf. inexpensive compared to coal ... o Two types of coal—low rank (pollutes more), and high rank.

A political campaign manager must decide whether to emphasize television advertisements or letters to potential voters in a reel
larisa [96]

Answer:

First answer - (E)

Second answer - (B)

Explanation:

The trade-off here is between TV ADVERTISEMENTS and LETTERS TO POTENTIAL VOTERS. The campaign manager for the candidate who is running for reelection, is trying to decide which of the two factors he should use more of or emphasize. The production function for campaign votes can be simplified as

TVAD + LTPV = CV

This is the production function for campaign votes.

<u>PART A</u>

Describe the production function for campaign votes (in words).

ANSWER: (E)

Television advertisements and (or 'plus') letters to potential voters, produce (or 'equal') campaign votes.

<u>PART B</u>

How might information about this function (such as the shape of the isoquants) help the campaign manager plan strategy?

ANSWER: (B)

If television advertisements and letters to potential voters are perfect complements (complements are goods or actions that 'must' go together or be used together) then the campaign manager should use them in fixed proportions (e.g. in a ratio of 50:50).

Answer True or Flase1-Electric potential due to a uniform E field doesn’t change with location.2-The equipotential surfaces asso
TEA [102]

Answer:

1. False

2. True

3. True

Explanation:

1- False —> The relation between electric potential and electric field is given such that

-\int\limits^a_b \vec{E}d\vec{l} = V_{ab}

Therefore, for a uniform E field, electric potential is linearly proportional to the distance.

2- True —> The electric field lines always cross the equipotential lines perpendicularly.

3- True —> In order to be a potential difference, one source of electric field is enough. The electric potential will decrease radially according to the following formula:

V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q}{r^2}

There is no test charge in the formula, only the source charge. Even when there is no test charge, the potential difference between points in space can exist.

The diagram shows a positive charge moving in a magnetic field. a field of circles labeled b. there is a positively charged part
lesya692 [45]

The magnetic force will be point upwards in perpendicular direction to the field.

<h3>What is the direction of magnetic force?</h3>

The direction of the magnetic force on negative charge occurs in the opposite direction while it is directed to the positive charge direction.

From the given image and description, the positively charged particle with a velocity vector, v is pointing left, thus we can conclude that the magnetic force will be point upwards in perpendicular direction to the field.
