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.

what is the magnitude of the compression forces (assumed to be horizontal) acting on both sides of the center board that is sand
Len [333]

F = normal force by each board on each side

W = weight of the board in between acting in down direction = 95.5 N

f = frictional force in upward direction by each board

\mu = coefficient of friction = 0.663

Using equilibrium of force in Upward direction

f + f = W

f = W/2

f = 95.5/2 = 47.75 N

frictional force is given as

f = \mu F

47.75 = (0.663) F

F = 72.02 N

Now consider a wave which is paired with seven other waves into seven pairs. The two waves in each pairing are identical, except
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

<em>BCEG,ADF</em>

Explanation:

Between 2 waves, if path difference is mλ, m is an integer and they interfere constructively.

Between 2 waves, if path difference is (m+1/2)λ, m is an integer and they interfere destructively.

How does the see temperature affect hurricane formation?
insens350 [35]
The higher the sea surface temperature, the faster the warm, moist air rises into the atmosphere. This updraft creates a donut shaped vortex that is rising in the middle and going downward on the sides. The more moisture in the air (humidity), the stronger the vortex will become as the moisture rises through convective currents, cools, and falls through convective currents. This eventually causes rotation of the storm mass and you get a tropical cyclone. So, the high sea surface temperatures and humidity are actually the engine that forms a hurricane and causes it to increase in strength.

High level horizontal winds can prevent a hurricane from forming. These are called shear winds and they literally blow the top of the cyclone off, preventing it from forming properly.
