Answer:

The northern lights, one of several astronomical phenomena called polar lights (aurora Polaris), are shafts or curtains of colored light visible on occasion in the night sky.

sp2606 [1]

Answer: The current must be equal to \frac{\sqrt{33} }{6} amps, or ~0.9574 amps.

Explanation:

You can find the current in amperes using ohms and watts from this formula:

I = \sqrt{\frac{P}{R} }

Where P represents power in watts, R represents resistance in ohms, and I represents current in amperes.

You can then substitute 60 and 55 into the equation to find I:

I = \sqrt{\frac{55}{60} } \\I = \frac{\sqrt{55} }{\sqrt{60} }

Then, simplify the denominator:

I = \frac{\sqrt{55} }{2\sqrt{15} }

Rationalize the denominator:

I = \frac{\sqrt{55} }{2\sqrt{15} } * \frac{\sqrt{15} }{\sqrt{15} } = \frac{\sqrt{825} }{30}

Simplify the numerator by finding its factors:

I = \frac{5\sqrt{33} }{30} = \frac{\sqrt{33} }{6}

The current must be equal to \frac{\sqrt{33} }{6} amps, or ~0.9574 amps.

Rasek [7]

Answer;

D. ocean currents might change course.

Explanation;

Ocean currents are the directed movements of water in the ocean and can be caused by wind (for currents closer to the surface) and temperature, salinity, or density differences (currents deeper in the ocean). Ocean currents help to warm or cool certain parts of the earth by carrying warmer water northward or cooler water toward the equator.

Climate change can have a vast effect on ocean currents because of the change in temperature it causes, which results in change in ocean water temperatures and a subsequent distortion in current flow.

A charge of 90 C passes through a wire in 1 hour 15 minutes . what is the current in the wire
timurjin [86]
We calculate current from the formula:
I= \frac{q}{t} , where q is a electric charge transferred over time t 
Time should be converted to seconds:
1h 15 min= 75min= 4500s
I=\frac{90C}{4500s}=0,02A Result is in unit-Ampere

Describe how radio telescopes function.
FrozenT [24]

A radio telescope is simply a telescope that is designed to receive radio waves from space. In its simplest form it has three components:

1. One or more antennas to collect the incoming radio waves. Most antennas are parabolic dishes that reflect the radio waves to a receiver, in the same way as a curved mirror can focus visible light to a point.

2. A receiver and amplifier to boost the very weak radio signal to a measurable level. These days the amplifiers are extremely sensitive and are normally cooled to very low temperatures to minimise interference due to the noise generated by the movement of the atoms in the metal (called thermal noise).

3. A recorder to keep a record of the signal. Most radio telescopes nowadays record directly to some form of computer memory disk as astronomers use sophisticated software to process and analyse the data.
