Let's see your options:

a) prominences are gas eruptions that can form an arch and do not look dark, therefore this statement is false;
<span>b) solar flares</span> are spots hotter than the surrounding, therefore they are brighter than the rest, and they form where prominences start or end on the surface, therefore this statement is true;
c) the number of sunspots may vary following an 11 years cycle, therefore this statement is false;
d) sunspots are colder spots on the surface and have nothing to do with solar winds, therefore this statement is false.

Correct answer choice is:

b) Solar flares are spots hotter than the surrounding, therefore they are brighter than the rest, and they form where prominences start or end on the surface.

Solar flares eject coronal mass, they eject electrons, protons, and ions from the Sun. They<span> produce high energy particles and radiation that are dangerous to living organisms. </span>The earth encompasses a natural protection against these charged particles. Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere protect us from these particles.

Consider an ideal gas at 27.0 degrees Celsius and 1.00 atmosphere pressure. Imagine the molecules to be uniformly spaced, with e

My name is Ann [436]

To solve the exercise it is necessary to keep in mind the concepts about the ideal gas equation and the volume in the cube.

However, for this case the Boyle equation will not be used, but the one that corresponds to the Boltzmann equation for ideal gas, in this way it is understood that

$PV =NkT$

Where,

N = Number of molecules

k = Boltzmann constant

V = Volume

T = Temperature

P = Pressure

Our values are given as,

$N = 1$

$k = 1.38*10^{-23}J/K$

$T = 27\°C = 27\°C + 273 = 300K$

$P = 1atm = 101325Pa$

Rearrange the equation to find V we have,

$V = \frac{NkT}{P}$

$V = \frac{1(1.38*10^{-23})(300K)}{101325Pa}$

$V = 4.0858*10^{-26}m^3$

We know that length of a cube is given by

$V = L^3$

Therefore the Length would be given as,

$L = V^{1/3}$

$L = (4.0858*10^{-26})^{1/3}$

$L = 3.445*10^{-9}m$

Therefore each length of the cube is 3.44nm

A lad, waiting for his friend walks in the sidewalk, in front of her house, from the front door, first, he moves towards the Pos

Andreas93 [3]

His total displacement from his original position is -1 m

We know that total displacement of an object from a position x to a position x', d = final position - initial position.

d = x' - x

If we assume the lad's initial position in front of her house is x = 0 m. The lad then moves towards the positive x-axis, 5 m. He then ends up at x' = 5 m. He then finally goes back 6 m.

Since displacement = final position - initial position, and his displacement is d' = -6 m (since he moves in the negative x - direction or moves back) from his initial position of x' = 5 m.

His final position, x" after moving back 6 m is gotten from

x" - x' = -6 m

x" = -6 + x'

x" = -6 + 5

x" = -1 m

Thus, his total displacement from his original position is

d = final position - initial position

d = x" - x

d = -1 m - 0 m

d = -1 m

So, his total displacement from his original position is -1 m

Which of the following does NOT support the geologic evidence used to date the earth?

Zanzabum

Answer:

comparing the anatomy of organisms

Explanation:

Basically, Rocks are the solid evidence used to date the earth.

Due to the changing in the genetic make up of organisms,the anatomy of organisms is not a reliable evidence to date the earth.

A cannonball is fired horizontally at the same time a ball being dropped from the same height How do the times it takes them to

ipn [44]

Answer:

The cannonball and the ball will both take the same amount of time before they hit the ground.

Explanation:

For a ball fired horizontally from a given height, there is only a vertical acceleration on it towards the ground. This acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity (g = 9.81 m/s^2). A ball dropped from a height will also only experience the same vertical acceleration downwards which is also equal to g = 9.81 m/s^2.

Therefore both the cannonball and the ball will take the same amount of time to hit the ground if they are released/fired from the same height.
