Explanation of the physics involved i the northern lights(aurora borealis) why can't it occur in mire southerns latitudes?

Physics

PSYCHO15rus [73]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The northern lights come from the interaction of electrically charged particles given off by the Sun surface during solar storms and the Earth's magnetic field which is pointed in the northern to southern poles of the Earth. Therefore, the charged particles that travel through millions of miles from the Sun to the Earth accelerate towards the magnetic poles and appear as the northern (and southern) lights

Boreal is an adjective word for the north or northern regions. In the southern latitudes, in the southern hemisphere, the phenomenon is called aurora australis (australis is the adjective for 'of the south')

Two basketballs of equal mass are rolling toward each other at constant velocities. The first basketball (B1) has a velocity of
slamgirl [31]

v'_2 = \frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2} (4.3) - \frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2} (4.3)\\\\v'_1 = \frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2} (4.3) + \frac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2} (4.3)

<u>Explanation:</u>

Velocity of B₁ = 4.3m/s

Velocity of B₂ = -4.3m/s

For perfectly elastic collision:, momentum is conserved

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = m_1v'_1 + m_2v'_2

where,

m₁ = mass of Ball 1

m₂ = mass of Ball 2

v₁ = initial velocity of Ball 1

v₂ = initial velocity of ball 2

v'₁ = final velocity of ball 1

v'₂ = final velocity of ball 2

The final velocity of the balls after head on elastic collision would be

v'_2 = \frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2} v_1 - \frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2} v_2\\\\v'_1 = \frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2} v_1 + \frac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2} v_2

Substituting the velocities in the equation

v'_2 = \frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2} (4.3) - \frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2} (4.3)\\\\v'_1 = \frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2} (4.3) + \frac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2} (4.3)

If the masses of the ball is known then substitute the value in the above equation to get the final velocity of the ball.
