Which of these is the most likely impact of solar prominence on Earth?

1 answer:

8 0

Solar prominences themselves are of no concern because they are visible in the Hydrogen Alpha wavelength. They are anchored in place by magnetic fields. When these fields break or reconnect, it can send the plasma that makes up the prominence away from the sun. If one of these clouds impacts Earth, they are called CMEs or coronal mass ejections. Depending on the magnetic orientation of the cloud with respect to Earth's the CME can break down our magnetic field resulting in geomagnetic storms, aurorae, power grid fluctuations, and particle radiation near the poles, satellite single upset events, and radio blackouts.

Thus, letter a is the answer.

Once the genes are copied, where do they go?

Anna [14]

By copying their genomes, they retain the tool kit and at the same time generate a garage full of spare parts. Gene duplication can provide the raw material for expression changes to occur, and polyploidy itself can trigger epigenetic changes

How much heat is needed to melt 13.74 kg of silver that is initially at 20°C?

salantis [7]

Answer:

$Q = 4.63 \times 10^6 J$

Explanation:

As we know that melting point of silver is

T = 961.8 degree C

Latent heat of fusion of silver is given as

L = 111 kJ/kg

specific heat capacity of silver is given as

$s = 240 J/kg C$

now we will have

$Q = ms\Delta T + mL$

$\Delta T = 961.8 - 20$

$\Delta T = 941.8 degree C$

now from above equation

$Q = (13.74)(240)(941.8) + (13.74)(111 \times 10^3)$

$Q = 3.1 \times 10^6 + 1.53 \times 10^6$

$Q = 4.63 \times 10^6 J$

The downward force produced when air flows over the winglike spoiler on a race car is an example of ___ principle

Murljashka [212]

As per bernoulli's principle

$P_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2$

here

$P_1$ = pressure upwards

$P_2$ = pressure downwards

$v_1$ = velocity of air upwards

$v_2$ = velocity of air downwards

now from this equation we can say that the pressure difference will be

$P_1 - P_2 = \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 - \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2$

now the force due to this pressure difference will be

$F = (P_1 - P_2)A$

so this is the above force which is given above

Show that the effective force constant of a series combination is given by 1keff=1k1+1k2. (Hint: For a given force, the total di

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

1keff=1k1+1k2

see further explanation

Explanation:for clarification

Show that the effective force constant of a series combination is given by 1keff=1k1+1k2. (Hint: For a given force, the total distance stretched by the equivalent single spring is the sum of the distances stretched by the springs in combination. Also, each spring must exert the same force. Do you see why?

From Hooke's law , we know that the force exerted on an elastic object is directly proportional to the extension provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded.

Now the spring is in series combination

F $\alpha$ e

F=ke

k=f/e.........*

where k is the force constant or the constant of proportionality

k=f/e

$f_{eff} =f_{1} +f_{2}$ ............................1

also for effective force constant

divide all through by extension

1) Total force is

Ft=F1+F2

Ft=k1e1+k2e2

F = k(e1+e2) 2)

Since force on the 2 springs is the same, so

k1e1=k2e2

e1=F/k1 and e2=F/k2,

and e1+e2=F/keq

Substituting e1 and e2, you get

1/keq=1/k1+1/k2

Hint: For a given force, the total distance stretched by the equivalent single spring is the sum of the distances stretched by the springs in combination.
