How does the atmosphere’s interaction with different wavelengths of light help to protect life on earth?

Physics
1 answer:
marishachu [46]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Ozone layer in the upper atmosphere filters most of the harmful radiations of shorter wavelength. It actually absorbs the hazardous radiations like ultraviolet, gamma rays, x- rays and most of all those having shorter wavelength then the visible light. That's how the earth's atmosphere protects life on earth. But unfortunately, climate change and global warming is causing the depletion of ozone layer which is causing skin related diseases and harming not only the human life but also the plants and animals.

A chinook salmon needs to jump a waterfall that is 1.5 m high. If the fish starts from a distance of 1.00 m from the base of the
____ [38]
 <span>let the fsh jump with initial velocity (u) in direction (angle p) with horizontal 

it can cross and reach top of trajectory if its top height h = 1.5m 
and horizontal distance d = (1/2) Range 
--------------------------------------... 
let t be top height time 
at top height, vertical component of its velocity =0 
vy = 0 = u sin p - gt 
t = u sin p/g 
h = [u sin p]*t - 0.5 g[t[^2 
1.5 = u^2 sin^2 p/g - u^2 sin^2 p/2g 
u^2 sin^2 p/2g = 1.5 
u^2 sin^2 p = 1.5*2*9.8 = 29.4 
u sin p = 5.42 m/s >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> V-component 
===================== 
t = HALF the time of flight 
d = (1/2) Range (R) = (1/2) [2 u^2 sin p cos p/g] 
1 = u^2 sin p cos p/g 
u sin p * u cos p = 9.8 
5.42 * u cos p = 9.8 
u cos p = 1.81 m/s >>>>>>>>>>>>> H-component 
check>> 
u = sqrt[u^2 cos^2 p + u^2 sin^2 p] = 5.71 m/s 
u < less than fish's potential jump speed 6.26 m/s 

so it will able to cross</span>

A single-turn circular loop of wire of radius 65 mm lies in a plane perpendicular to a spatially uniform magnetic field. During
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Explanation:

change in flux = no of turns x area of loop x change in magnetic field

= 1 x π 65² x 10⁻⁶ x ( 650 - 350 ) x 10⁻³

= 3.9 x 10⁻³ weber .

rate of change of flux  = change of flux / time

= 3.9 x 10⁻³ / .10

= 39 x 10⁻³ V

= 39 mV .

Since the magnetic flux is directed outside page and it is increasing , induced current will be clockwise so that magnetic field is produced in opposite direction to reduce it , as per Lenz's law.

If a ball has a velocity of 18 m/s, how far does it travel in 15 seconds
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>270 m</h2>

Explanation:

To find the distance when given the velocity and time we use the formula

<h3>distance = velocity × time</h3>

From the question

velocity of the ball = 18 m/s

time = 15 s

So the distance is

distance = 18 × 15

We have the final answer as

<h3>270 m</h3>

Hope this helps you

Starting from rest, a 2.1x10-4 kg flea springs straight upward. While the flea is pushing off from the ground, the ground exerts
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

1.327363 m/s

0.00090243 m

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

m = Mass of flea

Energy

E=\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\Rightarrow 3.7\times 10^{-4}=2.1\times 10^{-4}(v^2-0)\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{3.7\times 10^{-4}}{2.1\times 10^{-4}}}\\\Rightarrow v=1.32736\ m/s

The velocity of the flea when leaving the ground is 1.327363 m/s

W=F\times s\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{W}{F}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{3.7\times 10^{-4}}{0.41}\\\Rightarrow s=0.00090243\ m

The flea will travel 0.00090243 m upward
