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.

A baseball pitcher throws a ball with a speed of 41 m/s. Estimate the average acceleration of the ball during the throwing motio
dusya [7]
<span>When t=0, v=0, d=0 When t=tf, v=41m/s, d=3.5m We have 2 formulas – the ones corresponding to uniformly accelerated linear movement: vf=a*t+vo d=(1/2)*a*t^2+vo*t Let’s put the data in the formulas: 41m/s=a*t+0=a*t 3.5m=(1/2)*a*t^2+0*t=1/2*a*t^2 You can use a variety of methods to find t and a. I will choose substitution. t=(41m/s)/a 3.5m=(1/2)*a*((41m/s)/a)^2=(1/2)*a*(41m/s)^2/a^2=(1/2)*(41m/s)^2/a a=(1/2)*(41m/s)^2/(3.5m)=(1/2)*41^2(m^2/s^2)/(3.5m) a=41^2(m/s^2)/( 2*3.5)=240m/s^2</span>

What is the electric potential 12 cm away from a charge of –5.2 × 10^–6C?
MAXImum [283]
The equation for electric potential of a point charge is:

V=(k*q)/r where k=9*10^11 N m²/C², q is the charge and r is the distance from the charge to the point in which we are calculating the potential.

q=-5.2*10^-6 C
r=12 cm = 0.12 m

Now we plug in the numbers and get:

V=-3.9*10^5 Volts, so the correct answer is the second one.
