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.

The three stages of a train route took 1 hour ,2 hours ,and 4 hours . The first two stages were 80km and 200km of the train aver

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

the third stage was 480 km long

Explanation:

Stage 1:

Time = 1 hours

Speed = 80km

Stage 2:

Time = 2 hours

Speed = 200km

Stage 3:

Time = 4 hours

Let the Distance at the stage 3 be x

Average speed of the train route = 100 km/h

So

$\frac{ \text{speed at stage 1} + \text{speed at stage 2} + \text{speed at stage 3}}{3} = 0$

$\frac{ \text{speed at stage 1} + \text{speed at stage 2} + \text{speed at stage 3}}{3} = 100$

Lets find the speed at stage 1

Speed = $\frac{Distance }{Time}$

Speed = $\frac{80}{1}$

Speed 1= 80 km/hr

The speed at stage 2

Speed = $\frac{Distance }{Time}$

Speed = $\frac{200}{2}$

Speed 2 = 100 km/hr

The speed at stage 3

Speed = $\frac{Distance }{Time}$

Speed = $\frac{x}{4}$

Speed 3 = $\frac{x}{4}$

we kow that average is ,

$\frac{ \text{speed 1} + \text{speed 2} + \text{speed 3}}{3} = 100$

$\frac{ 80 + 100+ \frac{x}{4} }{3} = 100$

$\frac{ 180 + \frac{x}{4} }{3} = 100$

$\frac{ \frac{720 +x}{4} }{3} = 100$

$\frac{720 +x}{4} \times \frac{1}{3} = 100$

$\frac{720 +x}{12} = 100$

$720 +x = 100 \times 12$

$720 +x = 1200$

$x = 1200- 720$

x = 480

A body travel according to the law x(t)=2t+3t3 calculate the accelaration of body at t=2s

faust18 [17]

Answer:

28m/s

Explanation:

Given law,

⇒ x(t) = 2t + 3t³

Where, t = 2s

Then,

⇒ x(2) = 2(2) + 3(2)³

⇒ 4 + 3(8)

⇒ 4 + 24

⇒ 28 m/s

Acceleration is 28m/s

Calculate the acceleration of a turtle going from 0.3 m/s to 0.7 m/s in 30 seconds.

Hoochie [10]

Acceleration = velocity/ time
Acceleration = 0.7-0.3 /30= 0.01 m/s^2
Notice that velocity is calculated the final speed minus the initial !
