Answer:

<h3>Bottom line: When charged particles from the sun strike atoms in Earth's atmosphere, they cause electrons in the atoms to move to a higher-energy state. When the electrons drop back to a lower energy state, they release a photon: light. This process creates the beautiful aurora, or northern lights.</h3>

My name is Ann [436]

Using Kepler's 3rd law which is: T² = 4π²r³ / GM
Solved for r :
r = [GMT² / 4π²]⅓
Where G is the universal gravitational constant,M is the mass of the sun,T is the asteroid's period in seconds, andr is the radius of the orbit.
Change 5.00 years to seconds :
5.00years = 5.00years(365days/year)(24.0hours/day)(6... = 1.58 x 10^8s
The radius of the orbit then is computed:
r = [(6.67 x 10^-11N∙m²/kg²)(1.99 x 10^30kg)(1.58 x 10^8s)² / 4π²]⅓ = 4.38 x 10^11m

2. A string with a length of 0.9m that is fixed at both ends

aliina [53]

Answer:

2a.) Wavelength = 1.8 m

2b.) F = 66.67 Hz

3a.) Find the attached file

3b.) Wavelength = 0.6 m

Explanation:

Given that the

Length L = 0.9m

Wavelength (λ) = 2L/n

Where n = number of harmonic

If n = 1, then

Wavelength (λ) = 2L = 2 × 0.9 = 1.8 m

b.)

If waves travel at a speed of 120m/s on this string, what is the frequency

associated with the longest wave (first harmonic)?

Given that V = 120 m/s

V = Fλ

But λ = 2L, therefore,

F = V/2L

F = 120/1.8

F = 66.67 Hz

3. b.) If there are two node, the position will be in 3rd position which is 3rd harmonic

Using the same formula,

Wavelength (λ) = 2L/n

Where n = 3

Wavelength (λ) = 2 × 0.9/3

Wavelength (λ) = 0.6 m

1. A bicycle initially moving with a velocity

ki77a [65]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 15 \ m/s \ or \ 15 \ m*s^{-1}}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the final velocity. We are given the acceleration, time, and initial velocity, so we can use the following kinematics formula.

$v_f= v_i+ at$

In this formula, $v_f$ is the final velocity, $v_i$ is the initial velocity, $a$ is the acceleration, and $t$ is the time.

The bicycle has an initial velocity of 5.0 m *s⁻¹ or m/s, acceleration of 2 m/s², and a time of 5 seconds.

$\bullet \ v_i = 5.0 \ m/s \\\bullet \ a= 2\ m/s^2\\\bullet \ t= 5 \ s$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$v_f=5.0 \ m/s + ( 2\ m/s^2 * 5 \ s)$

Solve inside the parentheses.

$\frac {2 \ m}{s^2}* 5 \ s = \frac{ 2 \ m}{s} * 5 = \frac{ 10 \ m}{s} = 10 \ m/s$

$v_f= 5.0 \ m/s + (10 \ m/s)$

Add.

$v_f= 15 \ m/s$

The units can also be written as:

$v_f= 15 \ m*s^{-1}$

The bicycle's final velocity is 15 meters per second.

What is the momentum of an object with 9.74 kg and 15 m/s?

dolphi86 [110]

Answer: 146.1 kg/m/s

Explanation: Momentum is equal to mass times velocity, so you do 9.74 kg times 15 m/s and get 146.1 kg/m/s.

What is the answer for this question?

svlad2 [7]

Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum. Because they do not give up energy in traveling, Electromagnetic waves can cross the great distances that separate stars and galaxies. Rays from the Sun travel nearly 150 million kilometers to reach Earth's surface.
