Answer:

Solar Flares and Prominences

Explanation:

    The sun is source of light and heat energy and it supports life on earth because sun is the primary source of energy. But sun is also a star and is a glowing ball of hot gases mostly hydrogen and helium. There are so many activity that takes place on surface of sun. But the two activity solar flare and prominences affect the radio communication.

Solar Flare  are electromagnetic energy built up in the sun atmosphere .These energy travel with the speed of light and affect outer atmosphere of earth. These increased level of X rays and ultraviolet rays ions the layer of ionosphere which becomes superionised. thus causing destructive interference.

The radio waves travel in ionosphere and  frequently collide with electron lose energy and completely blackout.

Prominence is defined as gaseous cloud of calcium,hydrogen and other gases floating above sun chromosphere and emit violently particularly near sunspots sometimes travel through space and affect radio communication.

A silver bar 0.125 meter long is subjected to a temperature change from 200 C to 100 C . What will be the length of the bar afte
dimulka [17.4K]
\Delta L= \alpha L_0 (T_f-T_i)

= (18 x 10^-6 /°C)(0.125 m)(100° C - 200 °C)

= -0.00225 m

New length = L + ΔL
= 1.25 m + (-0.00225 m)
= 1.248
So your answer is B.

Sam's job at the amusement park is to slow down and bring to a stop the boats in the log ride. If a boat and its riders have a m
shutvik [7]

Answer:

Sam will do 1152 J of work to stop the boat

Explanation:

Work: This is defined as the product of force and distance, the S.I unit of work is Joules. At any point in science, during calculation Energy and worked can be interchange because they have the same unit.

E = W = 1/2mv²................ Equation 1

Where E = energy, W = work, m = mass, v = velocity.

Given: m = 900 kg, v = 1.6 m/s

Substituting these values into equation 1

W = 1/2(900)(1.6)²

W = 450×2.56

W = 1152 J.

Therefore Sam will do 1152 J of work to stop the boat

A large pendulum with a 200-lb gold plated bob 12 inches in diameter is on display in the lobby of the united nations building.
BaLLatris [955]
The period of one full swing depends on the length of the pendulum and on gravity. The period of each full swing would be longer on the moon, with less gravity.

The rotation of the plane of the swings doesn't depend on the length of the string OR on gravity. It only depends on the latitude of the place where the pendulum hangs, and the rotation period of the body it's located on.

On Earth, it's (24 hours)/(sine of latitude).

On the moon, it would be (27.32 days)/(sine of latitude).

A 4.00kg counterweight is attached to a light cord, which is would around a spool. The spool is a uniform solid cylinder of radi
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of counterweight m= 4kg

Radius of spool cylinder

R = 8cm = 0.08m

Mass of spool

M = 2kg

The system about the axle of the pulley is under the torque applied by the cord. At rest, the tension in the cord is balanced by the counterweight T = mg. If we choose the rotation axle towards a certain ~z, we should have:

Then we have,

τ(net) = R~ × T~

τ(net) = R~•i × mg•j

τ(net) = Rmg• k

τ(net) = 0.08 ×4 × 9.81

τ(net) = 3.139 Nm •k

The magnitude of the net torque is 3.139Nm

b. Taking into account rotation of the pulley and translation of the counterweight, the total angular momentum of the system is:

L~ = R~ × m~v + I~ω

L = mRv + MR v

L = (m + M)Rv

L = (4 + 2) × 0.08

L = 0.48 Kg.m

C. τ =dL/dt

mgR = (M + m)R dv/ dt

mgR = (M + m)R • a

a =mg/(m + M)

a =(4 × 9.81)/(4+2)

a = 6.54 m/s
