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.

If it were possible to move a star towards the earth then its apparent magnitude number would ______ while its absolute magnitud
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

If it were possible to move a star towards the earth then its apparent magnitude number would decrease while its absolute magnitude number would stay the same.

Definition of apparent magnitude:

The luminosity of a celestial body (such as a star) as observed from the earth compare absolute magnitude.

So for example, the apparent magnitude of the Sun is -26.7 and is the brightest celestial object we can see from Earth. However, if the Sun were 10 parsecs away, its apparent magnitude would be +4.7, only about as bright as Ganymede appears to us on Earth.

Definition of absolute magnitude:

Absolute magnitude is a measure of the luminosity of a celestial object on an inverse logarithmic astronomical magnitude scale.

A 1500-kg car accelerates from rest to 25 m/s in 7.0 s. what is the average power delivered by the engine? (1 hp = 746 w)
AVprozaik [17]
The solution for this is:
Work done = force * distance = m*a*d and power = energy/time 
The vo=0 and vf = 25 m/s and t=7 sec. This gives... 
3.6 m/s^2 as acceleration and d=87.5 meters and thus F=ma= 5400 N. 
Energy = 5400*87.5 = 4.7E5 Joules (2 sig. figs) and Power = 67,500 Watts or 90 HP (2 sig. figs again).

A ball is launched at an angle of 10 degrees from a 20 meter tall building with a speed of 4 m/s. How long is the ball in the ai
shutvik [7]

Answer:

d) None of the above

Explanation:

v_{o} = inituial velocity of launch = 4 m/s

θ = angle of launch = 10 deg

Consider the motion along the vertical direction

v_{oy} = initial velocity along vertical direction = 4 Sin10 = 0.695

m/s

a_{y} = acceleration along the vertical direction = - 9.8 m/s²

y = vertical displacement = - 20 m  

t = time of travel

using the equation

y=v_{oy} t+(0.5)a_{y} t^{2}

- 20 = (0.695) t + (0.5) (- 9.8) t²

t = 2.1 sec

consider the motion along the horizontal direction

x = horizontal displacement

v_{ox} = initial velocity along horizontal direction = 4 Cos10 = 3.94 m/s

a_{x} = acceleration along the horizontal direction = 0 m/s²

t = time of travel =  2.1 s

Using the kinematics equation

x =v_{ox} t+(0.5)a_{x} t^{2}

x = (3.94) (2.1) + (0.5) (0) (2.1)²

x = 8.3 m

Consider the motion along the vertical direction

v_{oy} = initial velocity along vertical direction = 4 Sin10 = 0.695

m/s

a_{y} = acceleration along the vertical direction = - 9.8 m/s²

y_{o} =initial vertical position at the time of launch = 20 m  

y = vertical position at the maximum height = 20 m

v_{fy} = final velocity along vertical direction at highest point = 0 m/s

using the equation

{v_{fy}}^{2}= {v_{oy}}^{2} + 2 a_{y}(y - y_{o})

0^{2}= 0.695^{2} + 2 (- 9.8)(y - 20)

y = 20.02 m

h = height above the starting height

h = y - y_{o}

h = 20.02 - 20

h = 0.02 m

If you accelerate from rest at 12m/s^2 for 5 seconds, what is your finally velocity?
jeka94

Answer:

v=60m/s

Explanation:

Use the Kinematic Equation:

v=v_o+at

Plug in what is given and solve

v=0+(12)(5)

v=60m/s
