Which statement is accurate about how the aurora borealis is formed?

Physics
1 answer:
g100num [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

When the electrons jump to a higher energy state, they release energy as electromagnetic radiation, light.

Explanation:

When the solar wind gets past the magnetic field and travels towards the Earth, it runs into the atmosphere. As the protons and electrons from the solar wind hit the particles in the Earth's atmosphere, they release energy – and this is what causes the northern lights.

A bicyclist is travelling at 25 m/s when he begins to decelerate at -4m/s2 . How fast is travelling after 5 seconds
Umnica [9.8K]

Initial velocity (Vi) = 25 m/s

acceleration (a) = -4 m/s^{2}

time interval (t) = 5 sec

let us assume that final velocity after 5 sec be Vf

As acceleration is constant, we can apply the the equation of motion with constant acceleration i.e. V_{f} = V_{i} + at

Hence, V_{f} = 25 +(-4)(5) = 25 -20 = 5 m/s

so, the velocity of bicyclist will be 5 m/s after 5 sec

What would happen if you place 2 Plane Mirrors parallel to each other?
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

No image will be observed.

Explanation:

Images that are created by mirrors are virtual images. This virtual image can only be seen by an observer. In this case, an infinite number of images or no image will be created here as both will be reflecting their own images. Light will continuously bounce back and forth reflecting the same image.

In an Atwood machine the two masses (m1 =5.0kg and m2 = 3.0 kg) are released from rest, with m1 at a height of h=0.75 m above th
masya89 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

m₁ is heavy so it will go down and m₂ will go up. Let common acceleration be a .

For downward acceleration of m₁

m₁g - T₁ = m₁a

For upward acceleration of m₂

T₂- m₂g = m₂a

adding

m₁g - T₁ +T₂- m₂g = (m₁+m₂)a

m₁g- m₂g  +(T₂- T₁) = (m₁+m₂)a  --------------- ( 1 )

For rotatory motion of disc of mass mp and moment of inertia I

(T₁ -T₂ )R = I α , α is angular acceleration ----------( 2 )

From  1 and 2

m₁g- m₂g -  I α / R = (m₁+m₂)a

m₁g- m₂g -  I a / R² = (m₁+m₂)a

m₁g- m₂g = (m₁+m₂)a + I a / R²

m₁g- m₂g = [(m₁+m₂) + mp k² / R² ] a   ( k is radius of gyration of disk )

a = (m₁- m₂)g / [(m₁+m₂) +mp k² / R² ]

=  (m₁- m₂)g / [(m₁+m₂) + .5 mp  ]  ( for cylinder k² / R² = .5 )

If h be the height by which m₁ falls and its velocity becomes v

v² = 2 a h

a = v² / 2h

v² / 2h = (m₁- m₂)g / [(m₁+m₂) + .5 mp  ]

v²[(m₁+m₂) + .5 mp  ] = 2(m₁- m₂) gh

- v²[(m₁+m₂) +2(m₁- m₂) gh =  .5 mp v²

- v²[(m₁+m₂) +2(m₁- m₂) gh / .5 v ² = mp .

- 1.8² ( 5 + 3 ) + 2 ( 5 - 3 ) 9.8 x .75 / .5 x 1.8² = mp

- 25.92 + 29.4 / 1.62 = mp

2.15 kg = mp .

K.E  of masses = 1/2 x 5 x 1.8² + 1/2 x 3 x 1.8²

= 12.96 J

Rotational KE of disc

= 1/2 I ω²

= 1/4 mp r²ω²

= 1/4 x mp x v²

= .25 x 2.15 x 1.8²

= 1.74 J

in percent terms

(1.74 / 12.96) x 100

= 13.5 %
