True or False: The northern & southern lights are caused by solar wind particles interacting with gases in our atmosphere.

Physics
1 answer:
NARA [144]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

An aurora is a natural electric phenomenon that creates bright and colorful light displays in the sky. These dramatic and colorful lights are created when electrically charged particles from solar winds enter the Earth's atmosphere and interact with gases in the atmosphere.

A satellite is put into an orbit at a distance from the center of the Earth equal to twice the distance from the center of the E
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

995 N

Explanation:

Weight of surface, w= 4000N

Gravitational constant, g, is taken as 9.81 hence mass, m of surface is W/g where W is weight of surface

m= 4000/9.81= 407.7472

Using radius of orbit of 6371km

The force of gravity of satellite in its orbit, F=\frac {GMm}{(2r)^{2}}=\frac {GMm}{4(r)^{2}}

Where G=6.67*10^{-11} and M=5.94*10^{24}

F=\frac {(6.67*10^{-11}*5.94*10^{24}*407.7472)}{4*({6.371*10^{6}m)}^{2}}

F= 995.01142 then rounded off

F=995N

Name the material used to transfer of charges from one body to other​
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

conductor

Explanation:

A "conductor" is a material that allows the charges to pass freely from one body to the other. This causes a movement among the electrons and this means that<em> the charge will be passed entirely to the object receiving it.</em> This is also called <em>"conductive material."</em>

Examples of conductors are: <em>copper, aluminum, gold, silver, seawater, etc.</em>

The opposite of conductors are called "insulators." These do not allow the free movement of charges from one object to the other.

Examples of insulators: <em>plastic, rubber, paper, glass, wool, dry air, etc.</em>

"An object weighing 10.01 grams is placed in a graduated cylinder containing 3.90 mL of water. If the total volume of the object
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Density of the object = 1.9399g/mL

Explanation:

Mass of object = 10.01g

Volume of water = 3.90mL

Volume of Object + Water = 9.06mL

Therefore, volume of Object = Volume of Object + Water - Volume of Water

= 9.06mL - 3.90mL

= 5.16mL

Density by definition is the mass per unit volume of a substance.

Density of the object = mass/volume

= 10.01/5.16

= 1.9399g/mL or 1.94kg/m3

he electronics supply company where you work has two different resistors, R1 and R2, in its inventory, and you must measure the
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

R₁ = 50.77 Ω

Explanation:

Since, we know that:

Electric Power = P = VI

but from Ohm's Law:

V = IR

(or) I = V/R

Therefore,

P = V²/R

(OR) R = V²/P

where,

V = Battery Voltage

R = Resistance of combination

FOR SERIES COMBINATION:

R = Rs = (57 V)²/48 W

Rs = 67.69 Ω

but, we know that:

Rs = R₁ + R₂

R₁ + R₂ = 67.69 Ω

R₁ = 67.69 Ω - R₂  __________ eqn (1)

FOR PARALLEL COMBINATION:

R = Rp = (57 V)²/256 W

Rp = 12.69 Ω

but, we know that:

Rp = (R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂) = 12.69 Ω

using eqn (1) and value of R₁ + R₂, we get

Rp = 12.69  = R₂(67.69 - R₂)/67.69

859.08 = 67.69 R₂ - R₂²

R₂² - 67.69 R₂ + 859.08 = 0

Solving this quadratic equation we get the answers:

Either, R₂ = 50.76 Ω

Either, R₂ = 16.92 Ω

Since, it is stated in the question that R₁ > R₂. Therefore, we choose the second value. So,

<u>R₂ = 16.92 Ω</u>

using this value in eqn (1), we get:

R₁ = 67.69 Ω - 16.92 Ω

<u>R₁ = 50.77 Ω</u>
