Answer:

electronic communications may be disrupted

Explanation:

Solar Flares: They occur when the magnetic field lines carrying charged particle entangle and reorganize over the photosphere of the Sun. In these flares charged particles leave the surface of the Sun to travel outwards.

If these flares are directed towards Earth, they will interact with anything related to electricity and magnetism. Out of the given options third option is correct as the electronic communication will be disrupted. If the flares are strong a complete power blackout may occur and that would disrupt all the communication channel and power transmission. Such events have occurred in the past as well.

3. What is the relationship among wave speed, wavelength, and frequency?

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Wave speed is related to both wavelength and wave frequency. Wavelength is the distance between two corresponding points on adjacent waves. Wave frequency is the number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time. This equation shows how the three factors are related:

Speed = Wavelength x Wave Frequency

The pilot of an aircraft wishes to fly due west in a 33.9 km/h wind blowing toward the south. The speed of the aircraft in the a

diamong [38]

Answer: $\theta =9.96^{\circ}$ North of west

Explanation:

Given

Plane wishes to fly in west

but wind with speed 33.9 km/h towards south obstructing its path

so plane must fly at an angle of \theta w.r.t west such that it final velocity is towards west

Plane absolute speed=195 km/h

To fly towards west velocity in Y direction should be zero

thus $195sin\theta =33.9$

$\theta =9.96^{\circ}$

so Plane should head towards $9.96^{\circ}$ North of west in order to fly in west.

So plane

actual velocity is

$v=-195cos9.96\hat{i}+195sin9.96\hat{j}$

A box has a mass of 5.8kg. The box is lifted from the garage floor and placed on a shelf 2.5m off the ground. How much gravitati

Damm [24]

Gravitational potential energy =

(mass) x (gravity) x (height)

= (5.8 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (2.5 m)

= 142.1 Joules (C)

Jeff is a landscaping contractor and lifts a rock weighing 600 pounds by wedging a board under the rock. Jeff weighs 150 pounds

jonny [76]

Answer: 4

The mechanical advantage is the ratio of the force exerted by the object to the force applied to do work on it.

Here, Jeff tried to lift a rock weighing 600 pounds by wedging board under the rock. Jeff who weighs 150 pounds uses all his weight to exert force on lever and lift rock.

Mechanical advantage, $M.A.=\frac{weight\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1 mm}rock}{weight\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1 mm}Jeff}=\frac{600 pounds}{150 pounds}=4.$

Therefore, the mechanical advantage that lever provided to Jeff in lifting rock is 4.
