Why are solar winds potentially fatal for organisms living on earth?

Physics

Amiraneli [1.4K]4 years ago
7 0
Solar winds contain high levels of radiation which could lead to various health related complications in living organisms on Earth. These complications include and are not limited to radiation sickness, chromosomal damage, and cancer. However, solar winds are blocked by the Earth's magnetic field, only posing problems to our telecommunications.

A mass of 0.4 kg hangs motionless from a vertical spring whose length is 0.95 m and whose unstretched length is 0.65 m. Next the
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

spring constant of spring = mg / x

= .4 x 9.8 / ( .95 - .65 )

=13.07 N / m

energy stored in spring = 1/2 k x²

= .5 x 13.07 x ( 1.2 - .65 )²

= 1.976 J

Let it goes x m beyond its equilibrium position

Total energy at initial point

= 1.976 + 1/2 m v²

= 1.976 + .5 x .4 x 1.6²

= 2.488 J

energy at final point

= mgh + 1/2 k x²

.4 x 9.8 x  ( .55 + x ) + .5 x 13.07 x² = 2.488

6.535 x² + 2.156 + 3.92 x = 2.488

6.535 x² + 3.92 x - .332 = 0

x = .075 m

How many slices of bread did each climber have to eat to compensate for the increase of the gravitational potential energy of th
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Each climber had to eat 72 slices of bread to compensate for the increase of the gravitational potential energy of the system climbers-Earth

Explanation:

Hi

One piece of bread releases about 1.0 \times 10^{6}J of energy in the body, but efficiency in converting the body's chemical energy into mechanical work is 9.5 %, so 1.0 \times 10^{6}J(9.5\%)=95\times 10^{3} J.

On the other hand, we need to calculate the total work to reach the top of Mt. Everest , so W=mgh=(79 Kg)(9.8 m/s^{2})(8850 m)=6.8 \times 10^{6}J

Finally, we have that \# slices=\frac{W}{Energy/Slice} =\frac{6.8 \times 10^{6}J}{95\times 10^{3} J} =72 \ slices \ of \ bread

Why does an increase in temperature result in an increase in reaction rate?
lora16 [44]

Answer:

An increase in temperature typically increases the rate of reaction. An increase in temperature will raise the average kinetic energy of the reactant molecules. Therefore, a greater proportion of molecules will have the minimum energy necessary for an effective collision.
