Answer:

The third one.

Explanation:

Atmospheric molecules releasing photons (light) in response to collisions with Solar Wind particles because when auroras are produced what actually happens is that the ions of the solar wind collide with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen from the Earth's atmosphere. The energy released during these collisions causes a colorful glowing halo around the poles which is the aurora.

Red giants are smaller than main sequence stars, which are smaller than white dwarfs.

avanturin [10]

<span> False. A Red Giant evolves from a main sequence star after it commences Helium fusion and undergoes a great expansion; in the case of our Sun it would expand to encompass Earth's orbit. Thus, it would have approximately the same mass (a small amount being expelled in the helium flash), and vastly greater volume, equating to vastly lower density.

You're welcome :)

Pauli exclusion principle

Explanation:

No two fermions can have the same set of quantum numbers is called the Pauli exclusion principle. And a electron is a fermion.

There are four basic quantum numbers

Principle quantum number n

the angular momentum quantum number l

A stone was dropped off a cliff and hit the ground with a speed of 88 ft/s . What is the height of the cliff? (Use 32 ft/s 2 for

bulgar [2K]

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations, which describe the change in velocity, depending on the acceleration and the distance traveled, that is,

$v_f^2 = v_i^2 +2ah$

Where,

$v_f$ = Final Velocity

$v_i$ = Initial Velocity

a = Acceleration

h = height

Our values are given as,

$v_f = 88 ft/s\\v_i = 0 ft /s\\a = 32 ft/s^2\\$

Replacing we have,

$vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*h$

$88^2 = 0 + 2*32*h$

$h= 121 ft$

Therefore the height of the cliff is 121ft
