Part 1
When the solar atmosphere accumulates a lot of magnetic energy
to a point that cannot accumulate more, all that magnetic energy is suddenly released,
and with it, a lot of radiation. So much, that in fact it covers all of the
electromagnetic spectrum; from radio waves to gamma rays. That burst of
radiation is called a solar flare. In a single solar flare the amount of
radiation released is millions of times greater than all the nuclear bombs in
the face if the earth exploding together. Lucky for us, most of the high-energy
radiation dissipates before reaching the Earth, and the radiation that do reach
us, is deflected by the Earth’s magnetic field.
Part 2
1. Not all the radiation
of solar flares that reach the Earth is deflected by its magnetic field; some
of them reach us and charges the upper atmosphere with ionized particles. Those
particles react with the gases in the atmosphere and produce a light; that
light is what we call Auroras borealis or southern nights; One the most beautiful
natural spectacles in earth, who thought Auroras begin their lives as deadly
solar flares.
2. Solar flares
contain a lot of high-energy radiation that is extremely dangerous for our
electronic devices; when they reach the Earth, they can damage sensible
electronics like satellites. A very powerful solar flare could even damage all
the electronic devices on the surface of the Earth.
To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The Doppler effect is the change in the perceived frequency of any wave movement when the emitter, or focus of waves, and the receiver, or observer, move relative to each other. Mathematically it can be described as,
Here,
= Frequency of Source
= Speed of sound
f = Frequency heard before slowing down
f' = Frequency heard after slowing down
v = Speed of the train before slowing down
So if the speed of the train after slowing down will be v/2, we can do a system equation of 2x2 at the two moments, then,
The first equation is,
Now the second expression will be,
Dividing the two expression we have,
Solving for v, we have,
Therefore the speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12m/s
D. distance = 23 m, displacement = + 1 m
Explanation:
Let's remind the difference between distance and displacement:
- distance is a scalar, and is the total length covered by an object, counting all the movements in any direction
- displacement is a vector connecting the starting point and the final point of a motion, so its magnitude is given by the length of this vector, and its direction is given by the direction of this vector.
In this case, the distance covered by Karen is given by the sum of all its movements:
The displacement instead is given by the difference between the final point (1.0 m in front of the starting line) and the starting point (the starting line, 0 m):
Answer:
The work done by the bird is 0.762 J
Explanation:
Given;
force applied by the bird, f = 10 N
distance the bird moved the worm, d = 3 inches = 0.0762 m
The work done by the bird is given by;
W = F x d
where;
W is the work done by the bird
d is the distance the bird moved the load
Substitute the given values and estimate the work done by the bird;
W = 10 x 0.0762
W = 0.762 J
Therefore, the work done by the bird is 0.762 J
