An aurora occurs when ____

Physics
1 answer:
ASHA 777 [7]2 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.

You are wearing earbuds or headphones to listen to your music but your family members can hear it as well. They tell you that it
allsm [11]

If it’s loud enough for your family to hear it, it’s best you turn it down. It could cause permanent damage to your ear drums if it’s loud enough and you could start to lose your hearing. So if your family were to tell you to turn it down, you should probably just turn it down!

Halleys comet has period of 75.3 years. Using Kepler’s third law, find it’s semimajor axis expressed in astronomical units?
natta225 [31]

Answer: 17.83 AU

Explanation:

According to Kepler’s Third Law of Planetary motion <em>“The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”.  </em>

T^{2}\propto a^{3}  (1)

Talking in general, this law states a relation between the <u>orbital period</u> T of a body (moon, planet, satellite, comet) orbiting a greater body in space with the <u>size</u> a of its orbit.

However, if T is measured in <u>years</u>, and a is measured in <u>astronomical units</u> (equivalent to the distance between the Sun and the Earth: 1AU=1.5(10)^{8}km), equation (1) becomes:

T^{2}=a^{3}  (2)

This means that now both sides of the equation are equal.

Knowing T=75.3years and isolating a from (2):

a=\sqrt[3]{T^{2}}=T^{2/3}  (3)

a=(75.3years)^{2/3}  (4)

Finally:

a=17.83AU  (5)

1. The property of a conductor by virtue of which it posses the flow of electric current through it is called resistance.

2. The resistance of a conductor depends on the cross sectional area of the conductor and it's resistivity.

3.This id due to the fact that the resistance of a wire is inversely proportional to the square of its diameter.

4.Due to at high temperatures , the alloy donot oxidize. Alloy doesn't melt readily and get deformed.
