Why do skiers often wear sunglasses while they are skiing

They do it for personal protection, while they are skiing rocks can fly though and without personal protection the can get injured or even killed. That why they wear glasses for personal protection to avoid being injured in the eye.

For example if you are cooking and you want to take something of the oven, you would likely wear some hand gloves to avoid burns, that's the same with skiers.

There is a lot of glare off of the ice, due to the sun and it also is always good to have eye protection in case you fall face first :P

A 62 pound box is on an incline. Determine the minimum force P that would result in the box starting to slide up the incline. (i
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

F > W * sin(α)

Explanation:

The force needed for the box to start sliding up depends on the incline (α).

The external forces acting on the box would be the weight, the normal reaction and the lifting force that is applied to make it slide up.

These forces can be decomposed on their normal and tangential (to the slide plane) components.

The weight will be split into

Wn = W * cos(α) (in normal direction)

Wt = W * sin(α) (in tangential direction)

The normal reaction will be alligned with the normal axis, and will be equal to -Wn

N = -W* cos(α) (in normal direction)

To mke the box slide up, a force must be applied, that is opposite to the tangential component of the weight and at least a little larger

F > |-W * sin(α)| (in tangential direction)

What makes up the solar wind shown in the diagram?
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Solar energy production encompasses several power sources, both passive and active. It’s important to differentiate among the different types of solar energy production systems since it’s not uncommon for the average homeowner to confuse them. We’ll start with a diagram of solar energy hitting the earth surface.

Then we’ll present diagrams and discuss photovoltaic solar, solar hot water, and concentrated solar power. The easiest way to think about these is: am I using solar energy to heat water (solar hot water and CSP) or am I converting sunlight directly into electricity (photovoltaic cells)?

Two concentric current loops lie in the same plane. The smaller loop has a radius of 3.6 cm and a current of 12 A. The bigger lo
puteri [66]

Answer:

the radius of bigger loop = 6 cm

Explanation:

given,

two concentric current loops

smaller loop radius = 3.6 cm

]current in smaller loop = 12 A

current in the bigger loop = 20 A

magnetic field at the center of loop = 0

Radius of the bigger loop = ?

B_t = B_1 + B_2

0 = \dfrac{\mu_0I_1}{2R_1} +\dfrac{\mu_0I_2}{2R_2}

now, on solving

\dfrac{I_1}{R_1} = \dfrac{I_2}{R_2}

R_2 = I_2\dfrac{R_1}{I_1}

       = 20\times \dfrac{3.6}{12}

       = 6 cm

hence, the radius of bigger loop = 6 cm
