How can we protect space shuttles or astronauts from space radiation in the absence of the atmospheric layer?

Physics
1 answer:
antiseptic1488 [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

1. In general, the best shields will be able to block a spectrum of radiation. Aboard the space station, the use of hydrogen-rich shielding such as polyethylene in the most frequently occupied locations, such as the sleeping quarters and the galley, has reduced the crew's exposure to space radiation.

2. It absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun, helps keep Earth's surface warm via the greenhouse effect, and reduces temperature extremes between day and night. ... So, thanks to gravity, although some of Earth's atmosphere is escaping to space, most is staying here.

Wave power can be regarded as a reliable source of energy because the ocean currents are always moving.

<h3>What can be the challenges of wave power?</h3>

Wave power is a device that can be used to convert the mechanical energy of the ocean waves into electrical energy based on the principle of conservation of energy.

The major challenges that face the use of wave power in electricity generation is the unreliability of the waves which leads to uncertainty in the quantity of power generated Also, the wave direction and direction of ocean currents all limit the amount of power generated by this method. However, in spite of challenges, it can be regarded as a reliable source of energy because the ocean currents are always moving.

What is it that lives if it is fed, and dies if you give it a drink?
Anna71 [15]

Fire is it that lives if it is fed, and dies if you give it a drink.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Fire is very essential part of human life. It is used for cooking food and for other important activities. Without fire we cannot not survive. Something or the other should be heated before consumption and this can be achieved only with fir. It is also used in the darker places for viewing many things around us.

Thus, fire can survive if we give fuel or any wooden pieces and when water is poured on it it will turn off. Hence Fire is the one that survives when it is fed and dies when water is given as a drink to it.

A 1500 kg car drives around a flat 200-m-diameter circular track at 25m/s. What are the magnitude and direction of the net force
MakcuM [25]

The correct answer to the question is : 9375 N.

CALCULATION:

As per the question, the mass of the car  m = 1500 Kg.

The diametre of the circular track D = 200 m.

Hence, the radius of the circular path R = \frac{D}{2}

                                                                  = \frac{200}{2}\ m

                                                                  = 100 m.

The velocity of the truck v = 25 m/s.

When a body moves in a circular path, the body needs a centripetal force which helps the body stick to the orbit. It acts along the radius and towards the centre.

Hence, the force acting on the car is centripetal force.

The magnitude of the centripetal force is calculated as -

                              Force F = \frac{mv^2}{R}

                                            =  \frac{1500\times (25)^2}{100}\ N

                                            = 9375 N.           [ANS}        

The centripetal force is provided to the car in two ways. It is the friction which provides the necessary centripetal force. Sometimes friction is not sufficient. At that time, the road is banked to some extent which provides the necessary centripetal force.

Your family is going to drive to your grandma's house for Christmas dinner. You set the car's odometer to 0 before you leave. Wh
Sati [7]

Answer:

Distance = 85.3 miles

displacement = 0

Explanation:

The total distance covered to grandma's house is 42.6 miles as recorded by the odometer. The same distance would be covered when returning to the base. Hence;

Total distance for the round trip = 42.6 + 42.6 = 85.2 miles

Since the trip was a round trip, the displacement is zero because the family returned to their initial location.
