If the north and south pole crosses, radiations can enter Earth's atmosphere easily, continents will lurch in one directions causing natural calamities and species extinction.

Explanation:

The North and South pole forms the Earth's magnetic field which protects us from harmful radiation entering the atmosphere. If these poles get flipped, a global cataclysm may occur.
The continents will move to one direction causing massive earthquakes, rapid change of weather and climate and results in species extinction.
Over the past 150 years, the magnetic poles are casually moving but now it is moving very fast which may result in a flip of the magnetic poles.
Earth's magnetic field is what shields us from harmful space radiation which can damage cells, causing cancer, and fry electronic circuits and electrical grids. With a weaker field in place, This will disrupt the internal compass and many navigations may get interrupted

The earth rotates once per day about its axis. where would you have to stand in order to have the smallest tangential speed?

Yuliya22 [10]

The earth as a whole rotates with a fixed angular velocity. Therefore, you need to be at the rotation axis to have the smallest tangential speed. This would be at the north or south pole.

A technician builds an RLC series circuit which includes an AC source that operates at a fixed frequency and voltage. At the ope

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Xc = (0.467 - 0.427j)R

Explanation:

Since the resistance in the circuit is R, the reactance of the inductor is XL and the reactance of the capacitor is XC, then the impedance of the circuit is

Z = √[R² + (XL - XC)²]

Since the inductive reactance XL equals the resistance R, we have that

Z = √[R² + (XL - XC)²]

Z = √[R² + (R - XC)²]

Thus, the current in the circuit is thus I = V/Z = V/√[R² + (R - XC)²]

Now, when the plate separation of the parallel plate capacitor is reduced to one-half its original value, the current doubles. Also, when the plate separation is reduced to half, the capacitance doubles since C ∝ 1/d where C is capacitance and d separation between the plates. Since the capacitance doubles, the new reactance XC' is twice the initial reactance XC. So, XC' = 2XC. Thus the new impedance is thus

Z' = √[R² + (R - XC')²]

Z' = √[R² + (R - 2XC)²]

The new current is I' = V/Z' = V/√[R² + (R - 2XC)²]

Since the current doubles, I' = 2I.

V/√[R² + (R - 2XC)²] = 2V/√[R² + (R - XC)²]

1/√[R² + (R - 2XC)²] = 2/√[R² + (R - XC)²]

√[R² + (R - XC)²] = 2√[R² + (R - 2XC)²]

squaring both sides, we have

[R² + (R - XC)²] = 4[R² + (R - 2XC)²]

expanding the brackets, we have

[R² + R² - 2RXC + XC²] = 4[R² + R² - 4RXC + 4XC²]

[2R² - 2RXC + XC²] = 4[2R² - 4RXC + 4XC²]

2R² - 2RXC + XC² = 8R² - 16RXC + 16XC²

collecting like terms, we have

16RXC - 2RXC + XC² - 16XC² = 8R² - 2R²

14RXC - 15XC² = 6R²

15XC² - 14RXC + 6R² = 0

Using the quadratic formula to find XC, we have

$XC = \frac{-(-14R) +/- \sqrt{(-14R)^{2} - 4 X 15 X 6R^{2} } }{2 X 15}\\= \frac{-(-14R) +/- \sqrt{196R^{2} - 360R^{2} } }{30}\\ \\= \frac{14R +/- \sqrt{- 164R^{2} } }{30}\\ \\= \frac{14R +/- 12.81Ri }{30}\\\\= 0.467R +/- 0.427Ri$

Since it is capacitive, we take the negative part.

So, Xc = (0.467 - 0.427j)R

Analyze the following terms and phrases about solar activity. Select the two that represent correct matches between cause and ef

blagie [28]

Answer:

a) solar activity -- sudden eruptions of large bubbles of plasma and magnetic energy

and

d) solar flare -- sudden release of magnetic energy

Explanation:

We can start by eliminating the options that are definitely wrong.

A coronal mass ejection is not a relatively cool spot on surface of the sun, in fact such a spot is a sunspot, while a coronal mass ejection occurs when the magnetic field of the sun emerges as a loop. Thus, both options B and E are incorrect, leaving only A, C, and D. Option C makes no sense, as the sun's gravitational field does not 'churn'. Thus, only options A and D are left. A closer look at A and D reveals they are correct; solar flares are in fact sudden releases of magnetic energy, as seen in this quote from UC Berkeley's website; "Solar flares are caused by sudden changes of strong magnetic fields in the Sun's corona.". And solar activity is a blanket term for the effects of eruptions of plasma and magnetic energy from the sun.
