Basalt, formed from magma, contains iron-rich minerals. Why is this important?
Svetach [21]
Iron is a magnetic metal, and it is essential to the Earth's magnetic field!
Essentially it "records" (stores the information, maintains) the direction and orientation of the magnetic field.

Among others, the magnetic field protects the Earth from dangerous cosmic rays.

to start an avalanche on a mountain slope, an artillery shell is fired with an initial velocity of 290 m/s at 53.0° above the ho
kap26 [50]
So this is easy to calculate when you split the velocity into x and y components. The x component is going to equal cos(53) * 290 and the y component is going to equal sin(53)*290.

The x location therefore is 290*cos(53)*35 = 6108.4m

The y location needs to factor in the downwards acceleration of gravity too, which is 9.81m/s^2. We need the equation dist. = V initial*time + 0.5*acceleration*time^2.

This gives us d=290*sin(53)*35 + (0.5*-9.81*35^2)=2097.5m

So your (x,y) coordinates equals (6108.4, 2097.5)

Calculate the wavelengths of the first five emission lines of the Balmer series for hydrogen
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Balmer series in a hydrogen atom relates the possible electron transitions down to the n = 2 position to the wavelength of the emission that scientists observe. In quantum physics, when electrons transition between different energy levels around the atom (described by the principal quantum number, n) they either release or absorb a photon. The Balmer series describes the transitions from higher energy levels to the second energy level and the wavelengths of the emitted photons. You can calculate this using the Rydberg formula.

g Estimate the number of photons emitted by the Sun in a second. The power output from the Sun is 4 × 1026 W and assume that th
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The value is N  =  1.107 *10^{45 }  \ photons    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  power output from the sun is  P_o =  4 * 10^{26} \  W

   The average wavelength of each photon is  \lambda  = 550 \  nm  =  550 *10^{-9} \  m

Generally the energy of each photon emitted is mathematically represented as

        E_c =  \frac{h * c  }{ \lambda }

Here  h is the Plank's constant with value  h  =  6.62607015 * 10^{-34} J \cdot s

          c is the speed of light with value  c =  3.0 *10^{8} \  m/s

So

       E_c =  \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34}  * 3.0 *10^{8}  }{ 550 *10^{-9} }          

=>   E_c =  3.614 *10^{-19} \  J          

Generally the  number of photons emitted by the Sun in a second is mathematically represented as

         N  =  \frac{P }{E_c}

=>      N  =  \frac{4 * 10^{26} }{3.614 *10^{-19}}

=>      N  =  1.107 *10^{45 }  \ photons

A driver in a car traveling at a speed of 50 mi/h sees a deer 50 m away on the road. Calculate the minimum constant acceleration
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

a= - 0.79 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

Speed ,u = 20 mi/h

We know that

1 mi/h= 0.44 m/s

Therefore ,u = 8.94 m/s

Distance ,s= 50 m

Lets take the acceleration of the car = a m/s²

The final speed of the car ,v = 0 m/s

We know that

v²= u² + 2 a s

Now by putting the values

0²= 8.94² + 2 x a x 50

a=-\dfrac{8.94^2}{2\times 50}\ m/s^2

a= - 0.79 m/s²

Therefore the acceleration will be - 0.79 m/s².
