A Canadian college student who has taken an astronomy class goes home for the holidays and persuades his parents to let him borr

ow the family car. When he returns, he finds that his parents are very angry with him, claiming he left the garage door open. Yet he remembers that he carefully closed the garage door with the electronic remote control in the car. After consulting with his astronomy instructor, he comes up with an alternative explanation for why the garage door is open. Which of the following is PART of that explanation?
a. The Sun was so bright and high in the sky in December in Canada that it got into his
parents' eyes
b. There was an eclipse of the Sun
c. It was a time of solar maximum, and there had been a big flare on the Sun earlier
d. No aurorae had been seen in the sky for many months
e. The number of sunspots had reached an all-time minimum

Answer:

Option C, It was a time of solar maximum, and there had been a big flare on the Sun earlier

Explanation:

It was solar maximum due to which the amount of magnetic flux on the sun's surface rises up

This causes high frequency radio blackouts and interrupt with the communication on earth

Some times they also cause ripple effect in the electronic items as in the remote control used by the college student. They can disrupt the electronic communications.

Hence, option C is correct

A mosquito can fly with a speed of 1.10 m/s with respect to the air. Suppose a mosquito flies east at this speed across a swamp.
sineoko [7]

Answer:

The velocity of Mosquito with respect to earth will be 0.302m/s

Explanation:

V(ma) = 1.10 m/s, east  Velocity of mosquito with respect to air

V(ae) = 1.4 m/s at 35°  Velocity of air with respect to Earth in west of south direction.

Velocity of Mosquito with respect to earth will be  

V(me) = V(ma) + V(ae)

We need to find the mosquito’s speed with respect to Earth in the x direction.

V(x, me) = V(x, ma) + V(x, ae) = V(ma) + V(ae)(cos theta(ae) )

Angle (ae) = –90.0° − 35°=−125°

V(x, me) = 1.10 + (1.4)Cos(-125)

             = 1.10 + 1.4(-0.57)

             = 1.10 -0.798

              = 0.302

So the velocity of Mosquito with respect to earth will be 0.302m/s

Determine experimentally which rotational axis yields the maximum rotational inertia (i.e., moment of inertia) and which yields
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

  the maximum is I₁ axis of rotation at the end

     the minimum moment is I₂ axis of rotation at the center of mass

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the definition moment of inertia

          I = ∫ r² dm

for bodies of high symmetry it is tabulated; In this case we can approximate a broomstick to a thin rod, the moment of inertia with respect to a perpendicular axis when varying are

at one end

           I₁ = ⅓ mL²

in in center

           I₂ = \frac{1}{12} m L²

There is another possible axis of rotation around the axis of the broom, in this case we have a solid cylinder

           I₃ = \frac{1}{2} m r²

remember that the diameter of the broom is much smaller than its length, therefore this moment of inertia is very small

when examining the different moments of inertia:

     the maximum is I₁ axis of rotation at the end

     the minimum moment is I₂ axis of rotation at the center of mass

you push with an 18-N horizontal force on a 5-kg box of coffee resting on a on a horizontal surface. the force of friction on th
KatRina [158]

The acceleration is found to be 2 m/s², final velocity after 10 seconds is 20 m/s and the final position after 10 seconds is 100 m away from the starting point.

Answer:

Explanation:

As per Newton's second law of motion, acceleration of any object is directly proportional to the net external unbalanced force acting on that object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Since there are two forces acting on the box in opposite direction, the net force will be the difference of horizontal and frictional force acting on the object.

Net force = Horizontal force - Frictional force = 18 N - 8 N = 10 N.

Now, from second law of motion, Acceleration = \frac{Net force}{Mass}

So, acceleration = 10 N /5 kg = 2 m/s².

Since, acceleration exerted by the box is found to be 2 m/s², we can determine the final velocity of the object after 10 seconds using the first equation of motion.

v = u + at, Here v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity which is zero for the present case. Other parameters like a is found to be 2 m/s² and time is 10 seconds.

So Final velocity v = 0+(2×10)=20 m/s.

And the final position can be determined using the second equation of motion.

s = ut+1/2at²

Final position = (0×10)+(0.5×2×10×10)= 100 m.

So the final position is 100 m.

Thus, the acceleration is found to be 2 m/s², final velocity after 10 seconds is 20 m/s and the final position after 10 seconds is 100 m away from the starting point.
