This means that the farther away the astronaut is from the Earth, the less force gravity will be applying to his/her spacecraft. With this being said, once the astronaut breaks Earth's atmosphere, he can reduce the throttles a little to save on fuel, because he doesn't need all of that power to escape such a weak gravitational pull :D.

MAVERICK [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Maximum electric field, E=10^{11}\ V/m

Time taken, t=1\ ns=10^{-9}\ s

(a) Maximum magnetic field, B=\dfrac{E}{c}

B=\dfrac{10^{11}\ V/m}{3\times 10^8\ m/s}

B = 333.33 T

(b) Intensity of beam, I=\dfrac{E^2}{2\mu_o c}

I=\dfrac{(10^{11})^2}{2\times 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 3\times 10^8}

I=1.32\times 10^{19}\ W/m^2

(c) Energy delivered by the pulse, E=I\times A\times t

E=1.32\times 10^{19}\times 10^{-6}\times 10^{-9}

E = 13200 J

Hence, this is the required solution.

BEST ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST!
wel

Answer:

Distance = 16.9 m

Explanation:

We are given;

Power; P = 70 W

Intensity; I = 0.0195 W/m²

Now, for a spherical sound wave, the intensity in the radial direction is expressed as a function of distance r from the center of the sphere and is given by the expression;

I = Power/Unit area = P/(4πr²)

where;

P is the sound power

r is the distance.

Thus;

Making r the subject, we have;

r² = P/4πI

r = √(P/4πI)

r = √(70/(4π*0.0195))

r = √285.6627

r = 16.9 m

Can someone please help me answer 14 and 15??

14. The Aurora is an incredible light show caused by collisions between electrically charged particles released from the sun that enter the earth's atmosphere and collide with gases such as oxygen and nitrogen. The lights are seen around the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres.

15.
About 5.4 billion years from now, the sun will have exhausted all of its hydrogen. The sun's core will get really hot and dense, thus shrinking; however, the outer region of the sun will expand and grow. ... Even if the expanding dying sun doesn't reach Earth, the sun's high temperatures will completely burn the planet.
