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.

Answer:

The key point was that Kennedy challenged Nixon to a series of televised debates. It was the first televised presidential debate in American history.

In 1960, 88 % of American homes had television. About 2/3 of the electorate watched the first debate on TV. Nixon was recovering from a knee injury, he looked drained. Kennedy, meanwhile, had been resting in a hotel for an entire weekend, he looked tan and confident.

Most Americans watching the debates voted for Kennedy, most radio listeners seemed to give the edge to Nixon. hope this helps

An ice skater of mass m = 60 kg coasts at a speed of v = 0.8 m/s past a pole. At the distance of closest approach, her center of

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

1.78 rad/s

1.70344 rad/s

Explanation:

v = Velocity = 0.8 m/s

m = Mass of person = 60 kg

$r_1$ = Distance between center of mass of person and pole = 0.45 m

$r_2$ = New distance between center of mass of person and pole = 0.46 m

I = Moment of inertia

Angular speed is given by

$\omega_1=\dfrac{v}{r_1}\\\Rightarrow \omega_1=\dfrac{0.8}{0.45}\\\Rightarrow \omega_1=1.78\ rad/s$

The angular speed is 1.78 rad/s

In this system the angular momentum is conserved

$L_1=L_2\\\Rightarrow I_1\omega_1=I_2\omega_2\\\Rightarrow mr_1^2\omega_1=mr_2^2\omega_2\\\Rightarrow \omega_2=\dfrac{r_1^2\omega_1}{r_2^2}\\\Rightarrow \omega_2=\dfrac{0.45^2\times 1.78}{0.46^2}\\\Rightarrow \omega_2=1.70344\ rad/s$

The new angular speed is 1.70344 rad/s
