How can we protect space shuttles or astronauts from space radiation in the absence of the atmospheric layer?

Earth's protective magnetic bubble, called the magnetosphere, deflects most solar particles, but in the absence of atmospheric layer, Polyethylene is a good shielding material because it has high hydrogen content, and hydrogen atoms are good at absorbing and dispersing radiation.

The Earth’s atmospheres are kept in place by gravity. The air near the ground is pulled on by gravity and compressed by the air higher in the sky. This causes the air near the ground to be denser and creating different layers with different qualities in which are the atmosphere.

Hope that helps ^^

Orange light of wavelength 0.61 µ m in air enters a block of glass with εr = 1.44. What color would it appear to a sensor embedd
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

0.5083\ \mu m

Explanation:

\lambda_0 = Actual wavelength = 0.61\ \mu m

\varepsilon_r = Relative permittivity = 1.44

The observed wavelength in the glass is given by

\lambda=\dfrac{\lambda_0}{\sqrt{\varepsilon_r}}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{0.61}{\sqrt{1.44}}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=0.5083\ \mu m

The wavelength lies in the range of green light.

Hence, the observed color of light is 0.5083\ \mu m

Suppose you increase your walking speed from 6 m/s to 13 m/s in a period of 1 s. What is your acceleration? m/s2
ziro4ka [17]
Average acceleration is
Change in Velocity/change in time
So you could then do Vf-Vi/Tf-Ti
Which would look like 13m/s-6m/s / 1s-0s
Which then is 7m/s/1s which means the acceleration is 7m/s^2
