The local newspaper has published the passage below. Last week, scientists released incredible images of aurora australis, known

as the northern lights, as seen from the Hubble telescope. The Hubble telescope was placed in orbit in 1990 by the space shuttle and has since delivered the sharpest images we have of our planet, our galaxy, and the universe. The images delivered last week show the beautiful display of lights in the southern hemisphere. These lights are the result of the solar activity known as solar wind. Traces of solar wind reach well beyond Earth and have been detected as far as Saturn. Which statement in the news passage above is inaccurate

Answer:

The statement as aurora australis known as northern lights is incorrect. As the designation of aurora australis is for the southern lights i.e. which occur in the southern hemisphere.

Explanation:

Aurora or natural lights is a phenomenon that occurs at the poles of the Earth due to interaction between the Earth's magnetic field and cosmic rays. This interaction results in the beautiful display of colors on both poles. These are named, aurora borealis or aurora australis depending on their geographical location. If they occur on the northern pole they are termed as aurora borealis while those occurring on the southern pole are named aurora australis.

A motorcycle, which has an initial linear speed of 9.7 m/s, decelerates to a speed of 4.0 m/s in 4.4 s. Each wheel has a radius
Morgarella [4.7K]

Hi there!

We can begin by solving for the linear acceleration as we are given sufficient values to do so.

We can use the following equation:

vf = vi + at

Plug in given values:

4 = 9.7 + 4.4a

Solve for a:

a = -1.295 m/s²

We can use the following equation to convert from linear to angular acceleration:

a = αr

a/r = α

Thus:

-1.295/0.61 = -2.124 rad/sec² ⇒ 2.124 rad/sec² since counterclockwise is positive.

Now, we can find the angular displacement using the following:

θ = ωit + 1/2αt²

We must convert the initial velocity of the tire (9.7 m/s) to angular velocity:

v = ωr

v/r = ω

9.7/0.61 = 15.9 rad/sec

Plug into the equation:

θ = 15.9(4.4) + 1/2(2.124)(4.4²) = 20.56 rad

Where is UTC the local time?
Dmitrij [34]

UTC is generally adopted as the local time at Prime Meridian (PM).

<h3>What is UTC?</h3>

UTC is an abbreviation for Coordinated Universal Time and it can be defined as a local time standard by which all clocks, time and time zones are regulated around the world.

This ultimately implies that, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is generally adopted as the local time at Prime Meridian (PM) because it nominally reflects mean solar time.
