False, because the ions of the solar wind collide with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen from the Earth's atmosphere. The energy released during these collisions causes an aurora.

During a trial run, race car A starts from rest and accelerates uniformly along a straight level track for a particular interval

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer: car B has travelled 4times as far as Car A

d=vi*t+1/2at^2

No initial velocity so equation becomes;

d=1/2at^2 and the acceleration is the same between both only time is different;

Car A d=1/2a(1)^2

Car B d=1/2a(2)^2

Car A d= 1^2=1

Car B d= 2^2=4

Car B d=4*Car A

So car B has travelled 4 times as far as car A

A rigid tank contains nitrogen gas at 227 °C and 100 kPa gage. The gas is heated until the gage pressure reads 250 kPa. If the a

aleksley [76]

Answer:

T₂ =602 °C

Explanation:

Given that

T₁ = 227°C =227+273 K

T₁ =500 k

Gauge pressure at condition 1 given = 100 KPa

The absolute pressure at condition 1 will be

P₁ = 100 + 100 KPa

P₁ =200 KPa

Gauge pressure at condition 2 given = 250 KPa

The absolute pressure at condition 2 will be

P₂ = 250 + 100 KPa

P₂ =350 KPa

The temperature at condition 2 = T₂

We know that

$\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2}{P_1}\\T_2=T_1\times \dfrac{P_2}{P_1}\\T_2=500\times \dfrac{350}{200}\ K\\$

T₂ = 875 K

T₂ =875- 273 °C

T₂ =602 °C

A square loop of wire lies in the x, y plane with opposite corners at (0, 0) and (a, a). The loop carries a current I directed t

Ket [755]

Answer:

Please refer to the figure.

Explanation:

The magnitude of the magnetic field can be found by Biot-Savart Law. We should divide the loop into four components. Each component has a similar solution but their directions are quite different.

The directions can be found by right-hand rule. Point your index finger into the direction of current, point your middle finger towards the target point (0,0,a). Your thumb will show you the direction of magnetic field.
