Part 1
When the solar atmosphere accumulates a lot of magnetic energy
to a point that cannot accumulate more, all that magnetic energy is suddenly released,
and with it, a lot of radiation. So much, that in fact it covers all of the
electromagnetic spectrum; from radio waves to gamma rays. That burst of
radiation is called a solar flare. In a single solar flare the amount of
radiation released is millions of times greater than all the nuclear bombs in
the face if the earth exploding together. Lucky for us, most of the high-energy
radiation dissipates before reaching the Earth, and the radiation that do reach
us, is deflected by the Earth’s magnetic field.
Part 2
1. Not all the radiation
of solar flares that reach the Earth is deflected by its magnetic field; some
of them reach us and charges the upper atmosphere with ionized particles. Those
particles react with the gases in the atmosphere and produce a light; that
light is what we call Auroras borealis or southern nights; One the most beautiful
natural spectacles in earth, who thought Auroras begin their lives as deadly
solar flares.
2. Solar flares
contain a lot of high-energy radiation that is extremely dangerous for our
electronic devices; when they reach the Earth, they can damage sensible
electronics like satellites. A very powerful solar flare could even damage all
the electronic devices on the surface of the Earth.
Answer:
a) t1 = v0/a0
b) t2 = v0/a0
c) v0^2/a0
Explanation:
A)
How much time does it take for the car to come to a full stop? Express your answer in terms of v0 and a0
Vf = 0
Vf = v0 - a0*t
0 = v0 - a0*t
a0*t = v0
t1 = v0/a0
B)
How much time does it take for the car to accelerate from the full stop to its original cruising speed? Express your answer in terms of v0 and a0.
at this point
U = 0
v0 = u + a0*t
v0 = 0 + a0*t
v0 = a0*t
t2 = v0/a0
C)
The train does not stop at the stoplight. How far behind the train is the car when the car reaches its original speed v0 again? Express the separation distance in terms of v0 and a0 . Your answer should be positive.
t1 = t2 = t
Distance covered by the train = v0 (2t) = 2v0t
and we know t = v0/a0
so distanced covered = 2v0 (v0/a0) = (2v0^2)/a0
now distance covered by car before coming to full stop
Vf2 = v0^2- 2a0s1
2a0s1 = v0^2
s1 = v0^2 / 2a0
After the full stop;
V0^2 = 2a0s2
s2 = v0^2/2a0
Snet = 2v0^2 /2a0 = v0^2/a0
Now the separation between train and car
= (2v0^2)/a0 - v0^2/a0
= v0^2/a0
Without an atmosphere, the equatorial curve would show minimum daily values on the solstices in June when the sub-solar point is located at 23.5°N and in December when the sub-solar point is at 23.5°S latitude.
Explanation:
At the sub-solar point, the sun strikes directly at the surface with an angle of 90 degrees at a given point.
Solistice refers to that point in time when the sun’s zenith is located at the farthest point from the equator.
During summer solistice on June 21, the sun’s zenith reaches northernmost point, sub-solar point is fixed at 23.5°S Tropic of Cancer making the earth tilt 23.4 degrees
During winter soliscitse on December 21, the sub-solar point is fixed at) Tropic of Capricorn.
<span>As the temperature goes down, the chaotic motion (velocity) of atoms start decreasing. If the temperature hits the absolute zero (which, in reality, is impossible to achieve), the atoms of the body would freeze, making the body still and stiff. One thing to note here is that the atoms do not get destroyed when the temperature reaches the absolute zero. That is the reason why the object can still be seen when it is at absolute zero.</span>
