Part 1
When the solar atmosphere accumulates a lot of magnetic energy
to a point that cannot accumulate more, all that magnetic energy is suddenly released,
and with it, a lot of radiation. So much, that in fact it covers all of the
electromagnetic spectrum; from radio waves to gamma rays. That burst of
radiation is called a solar flare. In a single solar flare the amount of
radiation released is millions of times greater than all the nuclear bombs in
the face if the earth exploding together. Lucky for us, most of the high-energy
radiation dissipates before reaching the Earth, and the radiation that do reach
us, is deflected by the Earth’s magnetic field.
Part 2
1. Not all the radiation
of solar flares that reach the Earth is deflected by its magnetic field; some
of them reach us and charges the upper atmosphere with ionized particles. Those
particles react with the gases in the atmosphere and produce a light; that
light is what we call Auroras borealis or southern nights; One the most beautiful
natural spectacles in earth, who thought Auroras begin their lives as deadly
solar flares.
2. Solar flares
contain a lot of high-energy radiation that is extremely dangerous for our
electronic devices; when they reach the Earth, they can damage sensible
electronics like satellites. A very powerful solar flare could even damage all
the electronic devices on the surface of the Earth.
Answer:
Input force is the initial force used to get a machine to begin working. Machines are designed to increase the input force for a larger output force. The quality of a machine is measured by mechanical advantage. The mechanical advantage is the ratio of the output force to the input force.
Explanation:
Answer: 1.58Ω
Explanation:
R1 = 5Ω
R2 = 15Ω
R3 = 3Ω
R4 = 30Ω
The equivalent resistance of the resistor connection (Rtotal) of the four resistors connected in parallel is obtained by adding the reciprocal of each resistance.
i.e 1/Rtotal = (1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +1/R4)
1/Rtotal = (1/5Ω + 1/15Ω + 1/3Ω + 1/30Ω)
Make 30Ω the lowest common multiple
1/Rtotal = (6 + 2 + 10 + 1)/30Ω
1/Rtotal = 19/30Ω
To get the value of Rtotal, cross multiply
1 x 30Ω = Rtotal x 19
30Ω = Rtotal x 19
Rtotal = 30Ω/19
Rtotal = 1.58Ω
Thus, the equivalent resistance of this resistor connection is 1.58Ω
Answer:
Explanation:
A car of mass 1000kg pushes 2000kg
The forward force is 4500N
Then, summation of the forward forces is ma
ΣF = Σ(ma) = m1a1 + m2a2
Since the body are moving together then, they will have the same acceleration(a)
ΣF = Σ(ma) = (m1+m2)a
Let m1=1000kg.
m2=2000kg
F=4500N
Then,
4500=(1000+2000)a
4500=3000a
Then,
a=4500/3000
a=1.5m/s²
Answer:
The torque on the child is now the same, τ.
Explanation:
- It can be showed that the external torque applied by a net force on a rigid body, is equal to the product of the moment of inertia of the body with respect to the axis of rotation, times the angular acceleration.
- In this case, as the movement of the child doesn't create an external torque, the torque must remain the same.
- The moment of inertia is the sum of the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round (the same that for a solid disk) plus the product of the mass of the child times the square of the distance to the center.
- When the child is standing at the edge of the merry-go-round, the moment of inertia is as follows:
- When the child moves to a position half way between the center and the edge of the merry-go-round, the moment of inertia of the child decreases, as the distance to the center is less than before, as follows:
- Since the angular acceleration increases from α to 2*α, we can write the torque expression as follows:
τ = 3/4*m*r² * (2α) = 3/2*m*r²
same result than in (2), so the torque remains the same.
