Answer:

It keeps the solar wind from reaching Earth.

Explanation:

Solar Wind corresponds to the emission of particles from the solar corona. The mechanism by which the Solar Wind is formed is still not exactly known. So far, it is known that it consists of a plasma composed of electrons, protons and sub-particles like neutrinos. This plasma is composed of particles loaded with ionized atoms with greater weight and which undergo an acceleration caused by the thermonuclear reactions of the Sun, being then fired in all directions with high speeds, reaching approximately 400 km / s. When close to Earth, the particles can reach up to 800 km / s and have densities around 10 particles per cubic centimeter.

The evolution of the studies has already allowed the identification of some effects caused by the Solar Wind. The tails of comets have their orientation defined exactly due to the Solar Wind. Another registered effect is the change in planetary magnetic fields, because the magnetic field protects the planet against the effects of the solar wind, but ends up being damaged.

In addition, the Solar Wind also interferes with the propagation of radio waves, has an effect on the flight track of space vehicles and can directly influence the Earth's climate when solar flares are very violent.

The water in a river flows uniformly at a constant speed of 2.50 m/s between parallel banks 80.0 m apart. You are to deliver a p

NISA [10]

Answer:

a) The swimmer should travel perpendicular to the bank to minimize the spent in getting to the other side.

b) 133.33 m

c) 53.13°

d) 106.67 m

Explanation:

a) The swimmer should travel perpendicular to the bank to minimize the spent in getting to the other side.

b) velocity = distance * time

Let the velocity of the swimmer be $v_{s}$ = 1.5 m/s

The separation of the two sides of the river, d = 80 m

The time taken by the swimmer to get to the other end of the river bank,

$t = \frac{d}{v_{s} }$

t = 80/1.5

t = 53.33 s

The swimmer will be carried downstream by the river through a distance, s

Let the velocity of the river be $v_{r}$ = 2.5 m/s

$S = v_{r} t$

S = 53.33 * 2.5

S = 133.33 m

c) To minimize the distance traveled by the swimmer, his resultant velocity must be perpendicular to the velocity of the swimmer relative to water

That is ,

$cos \theta = \frac{v_{s} }{v_{r} } \\cos \theta = 1.5/2.5\\cos \theta = 0.6\\\theta = cos^{-1} 0.6\\\theta = 53.13^{0}$

d) Downstream velocity of the swimmer, $v_{y} = v_{s} sin \theta\\$

$v_{y} = 1.5 sin 53.13\\v_{y} = 1.2 m/s$

The vertical displacement is given by, $y = v_{y} t$

80 = 1.2 t

t = 80/1.2

t = 66.67 s

the horizontal speed,

$v_{x} = 2.5 - 1.5cos53.13\\v_{x} = 1.6 m/s$

The downstream horizontal distance of the swimmer, $x = v_{x} t$

x = 1.6 * 66.67

x = 106.67 m

Josh did an experiment recording the changes in temperature in sand and water when exposed to a light source, and then when the

Marrrta [24]

Before going to solve this question first we have to understand specific heat capacity of a substance .

The specific heat of a substance is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance through one degree Celsius. Let us consider a substance whose mass is m.Let Q amount of heat is given to it as a result of which its temperature is raised from T to T'.

Hence specific heat of a substance is calculated as-

$c= \frac{Q}{m[T'-T]}$

Here c is the specific heat capacity.

The substance whose specific heat capacity is more will take more time to be heated up to a certain temperature as compared to a substance having low specific heat which is to be heated up to the same temperature.

As per the question John is experimenting on sand and water.Between sand and water,water has the specific heat 1 cal/gram per degree centigrade which is larger as compared to sand.Hence sand will be heated faster as compared to water.The substance which is heated faster will also cools faster.

From this experiment John concludes that water has more specific heat as compared to sand.

How can citizen -scientists help with the prediction of future earthquakes

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Avoid downed power lines and stay away from buildings and bridges from which heavy objects might fall during an aftershock. Stay away until local officials tell you it is safe. A tsunami is a series of waves that may continue for hours. Do not assume that after one wave the danger is over.
