How are Aurora produced?

Physics
1 answer:
Juli2301 [7.4K]3 years ago
3 0

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.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

(a) 2.34 s

(b) 6.71 m

(c) 38.35 m

(d) 20 m/s

Explanation:

u = 20 m/s, theta = 35 degree

(a) The formula for the time of flight is given by

T = \frac{2 u Sin\theta }{g}

T = \frac{2 \times 20 \times Sin35 }{9.8}

T = 2.34 second

(b) The formula for the maximum height is given by

H = \frac{u^{2} \times Sin^{2}\theta }{2g}

H = \frac{20^{2} \times Sin^{2}35 }{2 \times 9.8}

H  = 6.71 m

(c) The formula for the range is given by

R = \frac{u^{2} \times Sin 2\theta }{g}

R = \frac{20^{2} \times Sin 2 \times 35}{9.8}

R = 38.35 m

(d) It hits with the same speed at the initial speed.

a 0.0780 kg lemming runs off a 5.36 m high cliff at 4.84 m/s. what is its potential energy (PE) when it is 2.00 m above the grou
zmey [24]

Answer:

1.56 J

Explanation:

The potential energy only depends on the vertical height from the ground level.

We consider the ground level to have zero P.E.

So when it is 2 m above the ground level,

P.E. =  mgh

      = 0.078×10×2

      = 1.56 J

Describe the different processes that lead to substantial internal heat sources for Jupiter and Saturn. Since these two objects
Softa [21]

Explanation:

The internal heat sources for Jupiter and Saturn derive from primordial heat resulting from the initial gravitational contraction of each planet. Jupiter also generates heat by slow contraction, which liberates substantial gravitational energy. A significant part of Saturn’s heat comes from the release of gravitational energy from helium separating from the lighter hydrogen and sinking to its core. What one considers to be a star is a matter of definition, as we discuss in more detail in the chapter on The Birth of Stars and the Discovery of Planets outside the Solar System. While both Jupiter and Saturn generate much of their energy internally, they are not large enough (by a significant factor) to support nuclear reactions in their interiors, and so are not considered to be stars.
