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.

You can obtain a rough estimate of the size of a molecule by the following simple experiment. Let a droplet of oil spread out on

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The diameter of the molecule of oil is $1.405 10 ^{-9} \ m$

Explanation:

We define density as

$\rho = \frac{mass}{volume}$

So, the volume for our oil will be

$volume = \frac{mass}{\rho}$

$volume = \frac{7.62 \ 10^{-7} \ kg}{ 912 \ \frac{kg}{m^3} }$

$volume = 8.355 \ 10 ^{-10} \ m^3$

the volume for a cylinder with radius r and height h is

$volume = \pi r^2 h$

So, we can obtain the height of the droplet of oil as:

$h = \frac{volume}{\pi r^2}$

the radius is

$r=43.5 \ cm = 0.435 \ m$

$h = 1.405 10 ^{-9} \ m^3$

And this is the diameter of the oil molecule.

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :)

brilliants [131]

Answer:

P = VI = (IR)I = I2R

Explanation:

What the equation means is that if you double the current you end up with 4 times the power loss. It's like the area of carpet you need for a room - if you make the room twice as long and twice as wide you need 4x as much carpet. The physical explanation is that the voltage difference along a wire depends on the current - more current flowing with a resistance means more voltage (pressure of electricity if you like) is built up.

This extra voltage means more power. So if you double the current your would double the power, but you also double the voltage which doubles the power again = 4x as much power. P = VI = (IR)I = I2R

I hope this helps you out, if I'm wrong, just tell me.

Illusion [34]

Answer:

True b and c

Explanation:

In an RLC circuit the impedance is

$Z = \sqrt{[R^{2} + ( (wL)^{2} + (\frac{1}{wC})^{2} ] }$

examine the different phrases..

a) False. The maximum impedance is the value of the resistance

b) True. Resonance occurs when

(wL)² + (1 / wC)² = 0

w² = 1 / LC

c) True. In resonance the impedance is the resistive part and the power is maximum

d) False. In resonance the inductive and capacitive part cancel each other out

e) False. The impedance is always greater outside of resonance, but at the resonance point they are equal

According to Dalton’s atomic theory

NARA [144]

Dalton's atomic theory was the first complete attempt to describe all matter in terms of atoms and their properties. ... The first part of his theory states that all matter is made of atoms, which are indivisible. The second part of the theory says all atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties.
