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

Physics

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) A spaceship passes you at a speed of 0.800c. You measure its length to be 31.2 m .How long would it be when at rest?
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

a

     l_o  =52 \  m

b

      l = 37.13 \ LY

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  speed of the spaceship is  v  =  0.800c

    Here  c is the speed of light with value  c =  3.0*10^{8} \ m/s

    The  length is  l = 31.2 \  m

     The  distance of the star for earth is d = 145 \  light \  years

     The  speed is v_s = 2.90 *10^{8}

     

Generally the from the length contraction equation we have that

       l  =  l_o  \sqrt{1 -[\frac{v}{c } ]}

Now the when at rest the length is  l_o

So  

      l_o =\frac{l}{\sqrt{ 1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2 } } }

      l_o =\frac{ 31.2 }{ \sqrt{1 - \frac{(0.800c ) ^2}{c^2} } }

      l_o=52 \  m

Considering b  

  Applying above equation

            l  =l_o \sqrt{1 -  [\frac{v}{c } ]}

Here l_o  =145 \  LY(light \ years )

So

           l=145 *  \sqrt{1 -  \frac{v_s^2}{c^2 } }

            l =145 *  \sqrt{ 1 - \frac{2.9 *10^{8}}{3.0*10^{8}} }

            l = 37.13 \ LY

What is an elastic collision?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

A collision in which both total momentum and total kinetic energy are conserved

Explanation:

In classical physics, we have two types of collisions:

- Elastic collision: elastic collision is a collision in which both the total momentum of the objects involved and the total kinetic energy of the objects involved are conserved

- Inelastic collision: in an inelastic collision, the total momentum of the objects involved is conserved, while the total kinetic energy is not. In this type of collisions, part of the total kinetic energy is converted into heat or other forms of energy due to the presence of frictional forces. When the objects stick together after the collision, the collisions is called 'perfectly inelastic collision'

100 POINTS!!! :D
charle [14.2K]

Explanation:

... in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the force on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs.
