What creates the solar wind?

Physics
1 answer:
UNO [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The solar wind is created by the outward expansion of plasma (a collection of charged particles) from the Sun's corona (outermost atmosphere). This plasma is continually heated to the point that the Sun's gravity can't hold it down. It then travels along the Sun's magnetic field lines that extend radially outward.

A system of ideal gas at 22°C undergoes an ischoric process with an internal energy decrease of 4.30 × 10 3 4.30×103 J to a fina
Komok [63]

Answer:

The approximate change in entropy is -14.72 J/K.

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature = 22°C

Internal energy U=4.30\times10^{3}\ J

Final temperature = 16°C

We need to calculate the approximate change in entropy

Using formula of the entropy

\Delta S=\dfrac{\Delta U}{T}

Where, \Delta U = internal energy

T = average temperature

Put the value in to the formula

\Delta S=\dfrac{-4.30\times10^{3}}{\dfrac{22+273+16+273}{2}}

\Delta S=-14.72\ J/K

Hence, The approximate change in entropy is -14.72 J/K.

a ball is thrown inclined in to the air with a initial velocity of u. if it reaches the maximum height in 6 seconds , find the r
olga55 [171]

Answer:

11:1

Explanation:

At constant acceleration, an object's position is:

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

Given y₀ = 0, v₀ = u, and a = -g:

y = u t − ½g t²

After 6 seconds, the ball reaches the maximum height (v = 0).

v = at + v₀

0 = (-g)(6) + u

u = 6g

Substituting:

y = 6g t − ½g t²

The displacement between t=0 and t=1 is:

Δy = [ 6g (1) − ½g (1)² ] − [ 6g (0) − ½g (0)² ]

Δy = 6g − ½g

Δy = 5½g

The displacement between t=6 and t=7 is:

Δy = [ 6g (7) − ½g (7)² ] − [ 6g (6) − ½g (6)² ]

Δy = (42g − 24½g) − (36g − 18g)

Δy = 17½g − 18g

Δy = -½g

So the ratio of the distances traveled is:

(5½g) / (½g)

11 / 1

The ratio is 11:1.

Bits of paper are attracted to an electrified comb or rod, even though they have nonet charge. How is this possible?
SashulF [63]

Explanation:

An electrified comb is charged comb ( let say by running it through the hair) and when it is brought in the proximity of  pieces of paper, the pieces tend to cling to it. This happens because the charged comb induces an opposite charge in the paper pieces and as opposite charges attract each other, the pieces are clinged.

•• CP Two blocks connected by a light horizontal rope sit at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface. Block AA has mass 15.0
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

(a) T= 38.4 N

(b) m= 26.67 kg

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a (Formula 1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Kinematics

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t² (Formula 2)

d:displacement in meters (m)  

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀: initial speed in m/s  

vf: final speed in m/s  

a: acceleration in m/s²

v₀=0, d=18 m , t=5 s

We apply the formula 2 to calculate the accelerations of the blocks:

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t²

18= 0+  (1/2)*a*(5)²

a= (2*18) / ( 25) = 1.44 m/s² to the right

We apply Newton's second law to the block A

∑Fx = m*ax

60-T = 15*1.44

60 - 15*1.44 = T

T = 38.4 N

We apply Newton's second law to the block B

∑Fx = m*ax

T = m*ax

38.4 = m*1.44

m= (38.4) / (1.44)

m = 26.67 kg

All of the alkali metals, Group 1, have one valence electron. Which of these would represent the oxidation number of the alkali
melamori03 [73]
The elements found in the Group 1, or the Alkali Metal Group, have electronic configurations that end in s^{1}.This means that they have 1 electron readily available to release in order to achieve a stable state. 

When these atoms release the valence electron, they will achieve a stable state. For example, Lithium's stable state will be Li^{+} and Sodium will be Na^{+}. 

The oxidation state will then be +1. 

The answer is C.
