Answer:

A. absorption of ultraviolet rays from the Sun

Explanation:

The thermosphere helps protect and regulate Earth's temperature by absorbing much of the UV radiation and X-rays emitted by the Sun. When the Sun is most active, the thermosphere heats up and increases in size, increasing its protective power.

Just like in the oceans, the Earth's atmosphere experiences waves and tides that help move energy within it. The winds and the general circulation of the thermosphere are strong drivers of these tides and waves.

We want to design a cylindrical vacuum capacitor, with a given radius a for the outer cylindrical shell, that will be able to st
anastassius [24]

Solution :

a). Using Gauss's law :

  $E=\frac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0r^2}$  ,    $b    .........(1)

Let $E=E_0,\ r=b$ in equation (1)

Therefore, $Q=4 \pi \epsilon_0b^2E_0$  .............(2)

$V_b-V_a = \int^a_b \vec E. d\vec l$

             $=\int^a_b E \ dx$

            $=\frac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \int^a_b \frac{1}{x^2} \ dx$

            $=\frac{Q(a-b)}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 a b}$  ....................(3)

Therefore, $U=\frac{1}{2}Q \Delta V$

                     $=\frac{1}{2}(4 \pi \epsilon_0 b^2 E_0)\left(\frac{Q(a-b)}{4\pi \epsilon_0 a b}\right)$

                     $=\frac{4 \pi \epsilon_0}{2a} \ E^2_0 b^3(a-b)$  .............(4)

Now differentiating the equation (4) w.r.t. 'b', we get

$b=\frac{3}{4}a$  

Thus the radius for the inner cylinder conductor is $b=\frac{3}{4}a$

b). For the energy storage, substitute the radius in (4), we get

$U = 4 \pi\epsilon_0 \frac{27a^3E^2_0}{512}$

This is the amount of energy stored in the conductor.

What happen to the bulb when it is in series connection?
coldgirl [10]
If the bulb is in series with something else, then . . .

--  The brightness of the bulb depends on the <em>other</em> device in the circuit. 

--  If the other device is designed to use <em>less power</em> than the bulb, then the
other device gets <em>more power</em> than the bulb gets.

--  If the other device is designed to use <em>more power </em>than the bulb, then the
other device gets <em>less power</em> than the bulb gets.

--  If the other device is removed from the circuit, then the bulb doesn't light at all.

This description of the often-screwy behavior of a series circuit may partly explain
why the electric service in your home is not a series circuit.

How fast and in what direction must galaxy A be moving 17 an absorption Line found at 500 nm for a stationary galaxy 1s shifted
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

v = 0.22 c and wavelength is decrease so galaxy A is move away from stationary galaxy

v = 0.095 c and wavelength is increase so galaxy B come toward stationary galaxy

Explanation:

Given data

found = 500 nm

shifted A = 400 nm

shifted B = 550 nm

to find out

How fast and in what direction is galaxy

solution

we use here formula  that is

(λ) shifted = √(1-β / 1+β)  (λ)found

1-β / 1+β =  (4/5)²         ..................1

1-β / 1+β =  16 / 25

β = 0.22

v/c = 0.22

v = 0.22 c

here wavelength is decrease so galaxy A is move away from stationary galaxy

and

here according to equation 1

and we use shifted 550 nm

so

1-β / 1+β =  (5.5/5)²

1-β / 1+β =  30.25 / 25

β = 0.095

so  v/c = 0.095

v = 0.095 c

here wavelength is increase so galaxy B come toward stationary galaxy
