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

Physics
1 answer:
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')

shows a conical pendulum, in which the bob (the small object at the lower end of the cord) moves in a horizontal circle at const
Contact [7]

Answer:

a) T=0.40 N

b) T=1.9 s

Explanation:

Let's find the radius of the circumference first. We know that bob follows a circular path of circumference 0.94 m, it means that the perimeter is 0.94 m.

The perimeter of a circunference is:

P=2\pi r=0.94

r=\frac{0.94}{2\pi}=0.15 m

Now, we need to find the angle of the pendulum from vertical.

tan(\alpha)=\frac{r}{L}=\frac{0.15}{0.90}=0.17

\alpha=9.44 ^{\circ}

Let's apply Newton's second law to find the tension.

\sum F=ma_{c}=m\omega^{2}r

We use centripetal acceleration here, because we have a circular motion.

The vertical equation of motion will be:

Tcos(\alpha)=mg (1)

The horizontal equation of motion will be:

Tsin(\alpha)=m\omega^{2}r (2)

a) We can find T usinf the equation (1):

T=\frac {mg}{cos(\alpha)}=\frac{0.04*9.81}{cos(9.44)}=0.40 N

We can find the angular velocity (ω) from the equation (2):

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{Tsin(\alpha)}{mr}}=3.31 rad/s

b) We know that the period is T=2π/ω, therefore:

T=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}=\frac{2\pi}{3.31}=1.9 s

I hope it helps you!

Calculate the required rate of return for Climax Inc., assuming that (1) investors expect a 4.0% rate of inflation in the future
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Required rate of return = 18.5 %

Explanation:

given,                            

rate of inflection = 4 %

risk free rate = 3 %                      

market risk premium = 5 %                    

firm has a beta  = 2.30                                  

rate of return has averaged 15.0% over the last 5 years

now,                                                                      

Nominal risk free rate = risk free rate  + inflation

                                    = 3%  +  4%

                                   = 7%

Required rate of return = Nominal risk free rate + β (RPM)

                                       = 7%       +          2.3 x 5.0%

Required rate of return = 18.5 %

A solid sphere of radius R is placed at a height of 30 cm on a15 degree slope. It is released and rolls, without slipping, to th
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The height is  h_c = 42.857

A circular hoop of different diameter cannot be released from a height 30cm and match the sphere speed because from the conservation relation the speed of the hoop is independent of the radius (Hence also the diameter )

Explanation:

   From the question we are told that

           The height is h_s = 30 \ cm

            The angle of the slope is \theta = 15^o

According to the law of conservation of energy

     The potential energy of the sphere at the top of the slope = Rotational kinetic energy + the linear kinetic energy

                          mgh = \frac{1}{2} I w^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Where I is the moment of inertia which is mathematically represented as this for  a sphere

                    I = \frac{2}{5} mr^2

  The angular velocity w is mathematically represented as

                         w = \frac{v}{r}

So the equation for conservation of energy becomes

               mgh_s = \frac{1}{2} [\frac{2}{5} mr^2 ][\frac{v}{r} ]^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

              mgh_s = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 [\frac{2}{5} +1 ]

             mgh_s = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 [\frac{7}{5} ]

            gh_s =[\frac{7}{10} ] v^2

              v^2 = \frac{10gh_s}{7}

Considering a circular hoop

   The moment of inertial is different for circle and it is mathematically represented as

             I = mr^2

Substituting this into the conservation equation above

              mgh_c = \frac{1}{2} (mr^2)[\frac{v}{r} ] ^2 + \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Where h_c is the height where the circular hoop would be released to equal the speed of the sphere at the bottom

                 mgh_c  = mv^2

                     gh_c = v^2

                     h_c = \frac{v^2}{g}

Recall that   v^2 = \frac{10gh_s}{7}

                    h_c= \frac{\frac{10gh_s}{7} }{g}

                      = \frac{10h_s}{7}

            Substituting values

                   h_c = \frac{10(30)}{7}

                       h_c = 42.86 \ cm
