How does the solar wind affect earth

1 answer:

It affects it by the intense clouds of the high energy particles that it often contains which are produced by solar storms.

The earth has a vertical electric field at the surface, pointing down, that averages 100 N/C. This field is maintained by variou

zlopas [31]

Answer:

q = 3.6 10⁵ C

Explanation:

To solve this exercise, let's use one of the consequences of Gauss's law, that all the charge on a body can be considered at its center, therefore we calculate the electric field on the surface of a sphere with the radius of the Earth

r = 6 , 37 106 m

E = k q / r²

q = E r² / k

q = $\frac{100 \ (6.37 \ 10^6)^2}{9 \ 10^9}$

q = 4.5 10⁵ C

Now let's calculate the charge on the planet with E = 222 N / c and radius

r = 0.6 r_ Earth

r = 0.6 6.37 10⁶ = 3.822 10⁶ m

E = k q / r²

q = E r² / k

q = $\frac{222 (3.822 \ 10^6)^2}{ 9 \ 10^9}$

q = 3.6 10⁵ C

A lowly high diver pushes off horizontally with a speed of 2.00 m/s from the platform edge 10.0 m above the surface of the water

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

(a) 1.6m

(b) 6.86m

Explanation:

This is a horizontal shooting problem, so we will use the following equations.

For horizontal distance x we use:

$x(t)=x_{0}+v_{0}t$

Where $x(t)$ is the horizontal distance at a time $t$ , $x_{0}$ is the initial horizontal position which in this case will be zero: $x_{0}=0$ . And $v_{0}$ is the initial speed: $v_{0}=2m/s$

So to solve (a):

(a) At what horizontal distance from the edge is the diver 0.800 s after pushing off?

we have that the time is: $t=0.8s$ so the horizontal distance is:

$x(0.8)=(2m/s)(0.8s)1.6m$

The answer for (a) is 1.6m

Now, to solve (b) we need the equation for vertical distance:

$y(t)=y_{0}-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Where $y(t)$ is the vertical distance at a time $t$ , $y_{0}$ is the initial vertical distance: $y_{0}=10m$ And $g$ is the gravitational acceleration: $g=9.81m/s^2$ }

(b) At what vertical distance above the surface of the water is the diver just then?

The time is the same as in the last question: $t=0.8s$

$y(0.8)=10m-\frac{1}{2}(9.81m/s^2)(0.8)^2$

$y(0.8)=10m-\frac{1}{2}(9.81m/s^2)(0.64s^2)$

$y(0.8)=10m-\frac{1}{2}(6.2784m)$

$y(0.8)=10m-(3.1392)$

$y(0.8)=6.86m$

the answer to (b) is 6.86m

(c) At what horizontal distance from the edge does the diver strike the water?

To solve (c) we first need to know how long it took to reach the height of the water, that is, for what time y = 0

Using $y(t)=y_{0}-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

if $y(t)=0$

$0=10-\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\-10=-\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\20=gt^2\\\frac{20}{g}=t^2\\ \sqrt{\frac{20}{g}}=t$

and since $g=9.81m/s^2$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{20}{9.81} } =\sqrt{2.039}=1.43s$

At $t=1.43s$ the car hits the water, so the horizontal distance at that time is:

$x(t)=x_{0}+v_{0}t$

$x(1.43)=(2m/s)(1.43s)=2.86m$

the answer to (c) is 2.86s

A brick of mass 2.0kg is at rest. It falls to the ground through a

Lisa [10]

Answer:

I may not have the answer so i'll just give up some hints.

Multiply the time by the acceleration due to gravity to find the velocity when the object hits the ground. If it takes 9.9 seconds for the object to hit the ground, its velocity is (1.01 s)*(9.8 m/s^2), or 9.9 m/s. Choose how long the object is falling. In this example, we will use the time of 8 seconds. Calculate the final free fall speed (just before hitting the ground) with the formula v = v₀ + gt = 0 + 9.80665 * 8 = 78.45 m/s . Find the free fall distance using the equation s = (1/2)gt² = 0.5 * 9.80665 * 8² = 313.8 m .h = 0.5 * 9.8 * (1.5)^2 = 11m. b. V = gt = 9.8 * 1.5 = 14.7m/s. A feather and brick dropped together. Air resistance causes the feather to fall more slowly. If a feather and a brick were dropped together in a vacuum—that is, an area from which all air has been removed—they would fall at the same rate, and hit the ground at the same time.When an object's point is taller the thing that is going down it will go faster than when the point is lower. EXAMPLE: The object is the tennis ball if you drop it down the higher hill it will be faster than if you drop it down a shorter hill. In other words, if two objects are the same size but one is heavier, the heavier one has greater density than the lighter object. Therefore, when both objects are dropped from the same height and at the same time, the heavier object should hit the ground before the lighter one.

I hope my little bit (big you may say) hint help you with your question.

My guess is A. depth increases because I know that the deeper you go in the ocean, the higher the water pressure is (which makes it difficult to explore).
