An aurora occurs when ____

Physics
1 answer:
ASHA 777 [7]3 years ago
7 0

The short answer to how the aurora happens is that energetic electrically charged particles (mostly electrons) accelerate along the magnetic field lines into the upper atmosphere, where they collide with gas atoms, causing the atoms to give off light.

A straight wire segment 5 m long makes an angle of 30° with a uniform magnetic field of 0.37 T. Find the magnitude of the force
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force on the wire is 2.68 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the wire, L = 5 m

Magnetic field, B = 0.37 T

Angle between wire and the magnetic field, \theta=30^{\circ}

Current in the wire, I = 2.9 A

We need to find the magnitude of the force on the wire. The magnetic force in the wire is given by :

F=BIL\ \sin\theta\\\\F=0.37\ T\times 2.9\ A\times 5\ m\times \ \sin(30)\\\\F=2.68\ N

So, the magnitude of the force on the wire is 2.68 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

What are some possible materials you could use to make your battery? DON’T FORGET TO include information about why it is importa
Dima020 [189]

Explanation:

Commercially available batteries use a variety of metals and electrolytes. Anodes can be made of zinc, aluminum, lithium, cadmium, iron, metallic lead, lanthanide, or graphite. Cathodes can be made of manganese dioxide, mercuric oxide, nickel oxyhydroxide, lead dioxide or lithium oxide. Potassium hydroxide is the electrolyte used in most battery types, but some batteries use ammonium or zinc chloride, thionyl chloride, sulfuric acid or lithiated metal oxides. The exact combination varies by battery type. For example, common single-use alkaline batteries use a zinc anode, a manganese dioxide cathode, and potassium hydroxide as the electrolyt

A bullet with a mass of 0.02 kg is fired horizontally into a block of wood hanging on a string. The bullet sricks in the wood an
djyliett [7]

Answer:

u= 20.09 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m = 0.02 kg

M= 2 kg

h= 0.2 m

Lets take initial speed of bullet = u m/s

The final speed of the system will be zero.

From energy conservation

1/2 m u²+ 0 = 0+ (m+M) g h

m u²=2 (m+M) g h

By putting the values

0.02 x u² = 2 (0.02+2) x 10 x 0.2       ( take g=10 m/s²)

u= 20.09 m/s
