Answer:

The earth's magnetic field protects the surface from strong electrical currents coming from the sun

Explanation:

The Earth's magnetic field called the “magnetosphere” – protects our atmosphere from the “solar wind.” That's the constant stream of charged particles flowing outward from the sun. When the magnetosphere shields the Earth from these solar particles, they get funneled toward the polar regions of our atmosphere.

The Earth's magnetic field serves to deflect most of the solar wind, whose charged particles would otherwise strip away the ozone layer that protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. One stripping mechanism is for gas to be caught in bubbles of magnetic field, which are ripped off by solar winds.

Explain briefly how solar energy is used to generate electricity

valkas [14]

Answer:

Solar radiation may be converted directly into electricity by solar cells (photovoltaic cells). In such cells, a small electric voltage is generated when light strikes the junction between a metal and a semiconductor (such as silicon) or the junction between two different semiconductors.

1) See three Kepler laws below

2a) Acceleration is $2.2 m/s^2$

2b) Tension in the string: 27.4 N

3a) Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, potential energy is the energy due to the position

3b) The kinetic energy of the object is 2.25 J

Explanation:

There are three Kepler's law of planetary motion:

1st law: the planets orbit the sun in elliptical orbits, with the Sun located at one of the 2 focii
2nd law: a segment connecting the Sun with each planet sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals. A direct consequence of this is that, when a planet is further from the sun, it travels slower, and when it is closer to the sun, it travels faster
3rd law: the square of the period of revolution of a planet around the sun is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit. Mathematically, $T^2 \propto r^3$ , where T is the period of revolution and r is the semi-major axis of the orbit

2a)

To solve the problem, we have to write the equation of motions for each block along the direction parallel to the incline.

For the block on the right, we have:

$M g sin \theta - T = Ma$ (1)

where

$Mg sin \theta$ is the component of the weight of the block parallel to the incline, with

M = 8.0 kg (mass of the block)

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ (acceleration of gravity)

$\theta=35^{\circ}$

T = tension in the string

a = acceleration of the block

For the block on the left, we have similarly

$T-mg sin \theta = ma$ (2)

where

m = 3.5 kg (mass of the block)

$\theta=35^{\circ}$

From (2) we get

$T=mg sin \theta + ma$

Substituting into (1),

$M g sin \theta - mg sin \theta - ma = Ma$

Solving for a,

$a=\frac{M-m}{M+m}g sin \theta=\frac{8.0-3.5}{8.0+3.5}(9.8)(sin 35^{\circ})=2.2 m/s^2$

2b)

The tension in the string can be calculated using the equation

$T=mg sin \theta + ma$

where

m = 3.5 kg (mass of lighter block)

$g=9.8 m/s^2$

$\theta=35^{\circ}$

$a=2.2 m/s^2$ (acceleration found in part 2)

Substituting,

$T=(3.5)(9.8)(sin 35^{\circ}) +(3.5)(2.2)=27.4 N$

3a)

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy due to its motion. It is calculated as

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

The potential energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its position in a gravitational field. For an object near the Earth's surface, it is given by

$U=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the strength of the gravitational field

h is the heigth of the object relative to the ground

3b)

The kinetic energy of an object is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

For the object in this problem,

m = 500 g = 0.5 kg

v = 3 m/s

Substituting, we find its kinetic energy:

$K=\frac{1}{2}(0.5)(3)^2=2.25 J$

Newer telephone circuits, built during the last decade, offer higher quality because they were built using analog transmission.

hammer [34]

Answer:

Well, newer telephone circuits built during the last decade are based on the digital transmission, not on the analog transmission. So it's the digital transmission circuit that has made the higher quality. Digital circuits converts the voice signals into the binary codes which is then translated again into the voice signal at the receiving end.

The answer is false.
