The correct answer is A. Charged particles from the sun exite the atmosphere near the poles to create auroras.
Bas_tet [7]3 years ago

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.

If a sound increases 5 dB, the sound becomes _______ times louder.
viva [34]
Well, I'll try to write the formula in a way that's not confusing,
but I'm afraid it might be slightly confusing anyway.

When you're working with dB, the basic rule is

       A change of 10 dB means either multiplying or dividing by 10 .

     Multiply something by 10  ==>  it increases by 10 dB.
     Divide something by 10   ==>  it decreases by 10 dB.

It turns out that another way to write all of this is . . .

     An increase of 10 dB ===> multiply the original amount by 10¹ 
     An increase of 20 dB ===> multiply the original amount by 10²
     An increase of, say, 7 dB ===> multiply the original amount by 10⁰·⁷

     A decrease of 10 dB ===> multiply the original amount by 10⁻¹
     A decrease of 30 dB ===> multiply the original amount by 10⁻³
     A decrease of, say, 13 dB ===> multiply the original amount by 10⁻¹·³

This question says:  The sound increases by  5 dB .

That means the original 'intensity' or 'power' of the sound
is multiplied by
                           10⁰·⁵  =  √10  =  about 3.162 (rounded) . 

From the choices listed, the closest one is  (c).

Write down the relation between energy and power​
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Energy is what makes change happen and can be transferred form one object to another. Energy can also be transformed from one form to another. Power is the rate at which energy is transferred. It is not energy but is often confused with energy.

When one member of a binary star system is a black hole, and astronomers detect flickering x-rays coming from the system, where
puteri [66]

When one member of a binary star system is a black hole, and astronomers detect flickering x-rays coming from the system, these x-rays usually coming from a disk of material around the black hole (material that has been pulled from the companion star and is falling toward the black hole).

A binary black hole (BBH) is a system consisting of two black holes in close orbit around each other. Like black holes themselves, binary black holes are often divided into stellar binary black holes, formed either as remnants of high-mass binary star systems or by dynamic processes and mutual capture; and binary supermassive black holes, believed to be a result of galactic mergers.

For many years, proving the existence of binary black holes was made difficult because of the nature of black holes themselves and the limited means of detection available.

However, in the event that a pair of black holes were to merge, an immense amount of energy should be given off as gravitational waves, with distinctive waveforms that can be calculated using general relativity.

Therefore, during the late 20th and early 21st century, binary black holes became of great interest scientifically as a potential source of such waves and a means by which gravitational waves could be proven to exist. Binary black hole mergers would be one of the strongest known sources of gravitational waves in the universe, and thus offer a good chance of directly detecting such waves.

As the orbiting black holes give off these waves, the orbit decays, and the orbital period decreases. This stage is called binary black hole inspiral. The black holes will merge once they are close enough. Once merged, the single hole settles down to a stable form, via a stage called ringdown, where any distortion in the shape is dissipated as more gravitational waves. In the final fraction of a second the black holes can reach extremely high velocity, and the gravitational wave amplitude reaches its peak.

You serve a volleyball with a mass of 1.4 kg. The ball leaves with a speed of 13 m/s. Calculate KE
NemiM [27]

Answer:

118.3 J

Explanation:

Givens:

m = 1.4 kg

V = 13 m/s

Formula for kinetic energy:

KE = (1/2)*(m)*(v)^2

KE = .5*(1.4 kg)*(13 m/s)^2

KE 118.3 J

J = Joules

An airplane flies with a constant speed of 800km/h. How far can it travel in 2 hours?
Nataly [62]
Because the airplane flies at 800 km/h, it will fly 800 km in 1 hour.  In order to find how far it travels in 2 hours, we multiply this number by 2.  800*2 = 1600, so the plane will travel 1600 km in 2 hours.
