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;
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, 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 produce high energy particles and radiation that are dangerous to living organisms. The earth encompasses a natural protection against these charged particles. Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere protect us from these particles.

21. Compare and contrast beta particles to the electrons that surround neutral atoms.

stiv31 [10]

Beta particles come from the nucleus. Electrons are found around the nucleus.
Beta particles normally travel very fast out of a nucleus in a straight line. Electrons normally orbit the nucleus of an atom.

They both have the same mass and the same charge.

I don't understand this QUESTION

This electric force calculator will enable you to determine the repulsive or attractive force between two static charged particles. Continue reading to get a better understanding of Coulomb's law, the conditions of its validity, and the physical interpretation of the obtained result.

How to use Coulomb's law

Coulomb's law, otherwise known as Coulomb's inverse-square law, describes the electrostatic force acting between two charges. The force acts along the shortest line that joins the charges. It is repulsive if both charges have the same sign and attractive if they have opposite signs.

Coulomb's law is formulated as follows:

F = keq₁q₂/r²

where:

F is the electrostatic force between charges (in Newtons),

q₁ is the magnitude of the first charge (in Coulombs),

q₂ is the magnitude of the second charge (in Coulombs),

r is the shortest distance between the charges (in m),

ke is the Coulomb's constant. It is equal to 8.98755 × 10⁹ N·m²/C². This value is already embedded in the calculator - you don't have to remember it :)

Simply input any three values

The component of the ball's velocity whose magnitude is most affected by the collisions is

bazaltina [42]

The component most affected by the collisions is vertical. The ball's vertical will either decrease or increase due to the collision. If the velocity is high during the collsion the ball's vertical will likely be higher and if the ball's velocity is low the vertical will be as well.

You stand on a bridge above a river and drop a rock into the water below from a height of 25 m. (Assume no air resistance)

PART a)

here when stone is dropped there is only gravitational force on it

so its acceleration is only due to gravity

so we will have

$a = g = 9.8 m/s^2$
