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.

A 200kg ball on the end of string is swung in horizontal circle with radius of 0.5m . The ball makes revolution every 2second th
ANEK [815]

Answer:\dfrac{\pi}{2} ms^{-1}

Explanation:

Let T be the time required to make one revolution.

Let r be the radius of the circular path.

Let d be the distance travelled by ball in one revolution.

As we know,the distance travelled in one revolution is the circumference of the circle.

So,d=2\pi r

Given,d=0.5m\\T=2sec

d=2\times \pi \times 0.5=\pi m

Speed of an object moving is circular path is define as the ratio of distance travelled in one revolution to the time taken by the object to complete one revolution.

Let s be the speed of the ball.

s=\frac{d}{T}=\frac{\pi }{2}ms^{-1}

So,the speed of the ball is \frac{\pi }{2}ms^{-1}
