Answer:

An aurora occurs when <u>the Earth's magnetic field is overwhelmed by charged ions.</u>

Explanation:

The Earth acts as a huge bar magnet. Magnetic field surrounds the Earth. when the charged particles coming from the sun interact with the magnetic field, beautiful colors can be seen in the sky. These are known as auroras. The color depends upon the gas present in the atmosphere. The electrons of gain energy and jump to higher level and then release photons when return back to its level.

A cubical box, 5.00 cm on each side, is immersed in a fluid. The gauge pressure at the top surface of the box is 594 Pa and the
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The density of the fluid is 1100 kg/m³.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 5.00 cm

Pressure at top =594 Pa

Pressure at bottom = 1133 Pa

We need to calculate the change in pressure

Using formula of change in pressure

\Delta P=P_{b}-P_{t}

Where, P_{b} = Pressure at bottom

P_{t} = Pressure at top

put the value into the formula

\Delta P=1133-594

\Delta P=539\ Pa

Using formula of pressure for density

\Delta P = \rho g h

\rho =\dfrac{\Delta P}{gh}

Where, \rho = density

P = pressure

h = height

Put the value in to the formula

\rho =\dfrac{539}{5.00\times10^{-2}\times9.8}

\rho =1100\ kg/m^3

Hence, The density of the fluid is 1100 kg/m³.

Anna [14]
<span>Transmission electron microscope -
 The transmission electron microscope uses electrons instead of light
. a light microscope is limited by the wavelength of light.
TEMs use electrons as "light source" and their much lower wavelength makes it possible to get a resolution a thousand times better than with a light microscope
. The possibility for high magnifications has made the TEM a valuable tool in both medical, biological and materials research.</span><span>Compound light microscope
- Microscope with more than one lens and its own light source
. There are ocular lenses in the bonicular eyepieces and objective lenses in a rotating nosepiece closer to the specimen. To ascertain the power of magnification of a compund light microscope, it's needed to take the power of the objective lens and multiply it by the eyepiece which is generally 10x. Although sometimes found as monocular with one ocular lens, the compound binocular microscope is more commonly used today. The first light microscope dates back to 1595, when Zacharias Jansen created a compound microscope that used collapsing tubes and produced magnifications up to 9X.

A spring with spring constant k is suspended vertically from a support and a mass m is attached. The mass is held at the point w
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The oscillation frequency of the spring is 1.66 Hz.

Explanation:

Let m is the mass of the object that is suspended vertically from a support. The potential energy stored in the spring is given by :

E_s=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

k is the spring constant

x is the distance to the lowest point form the initial position.

When the object reaches the highest point, the stored potential energy stored in the spring gets converted to the potential energy.

E_P=mgx

Equating these two energies,

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=mgx

\dfrac{k}{m}=\dfrac{2g}{x}.............(1)

The expression for the oscillation frequency is given by :

f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{2g}{x}} (from equation (1))

f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 9.8}{0.18}}

f = 1.66 Hz

So, the oscillation frequency of the spring is 1.66 Hz. Hence, this is the required solution.
