How can the solar wind affect life on earth

Answer:

Explanation:

If the material carried by the solar wind reached a planet's surface, its radiation would do severe damage to all life that exists on earth.

Thankfully that won't happen because Earth's magnetic field serves as a shield, redirecting the material around the planet so that it streams beyond it.

Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is nearest to radio waves?

svetlana [45]

The part of the electromagnetic spectrum closest to radio waves is <u> microwaves</u>.

The wavelength of radio waves ranges from 10 cm to more than 1 km. The part of the electromagnetic spectrum that occurs closest to the radio waves is called the microwave region.

Microwaves have wavelengths ranging from around 1 mm to 10 cm.

The waves overlap in the region of 10 cm.

Thus, the region of electromagnetic spectrum closest to radiowaves is <u> microwaves.</u>

If two metal balls each have a charge of -10^-6 C and the repulsive force between them is 1 N, how far apart are they? (Coulomb'

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The distance between the charges is 9.5 cm

(c) is correct option

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge $q= 10^{-6}\ C$

Force F = 1 N

We need to calculate the distance between the charges

Using Coulomb's formula

$F = \dfrac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^2}$

Where, q = charge

r = distance

F = force

Put the value into the formula

$1=\dfrac{9.0\times10^{9}\times(-10^{-6})^2}{r^2}$

$r=\sqrt{9\times10^{9}\times(-10^{-6})^2}$

$r=0.095\ m$

$r= 9.5\ cm$

Hence, The distance between the charges is 9.5 cm

The biological roles of complex organic molecules are determined by their shape -- the way atoms and electrons create charge dis

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

a) P_α = exp (-ΔE / kT), b) P_β = 0.145 , d) ΔE = 309.7 meV

Explanation:

The expression for the number of molecules or particles in a given state in Boltzmann's expression

n = n₀ exp (-ΔE / kT)

Where k is the Bolztmann constant and T the absolute temperature

The probability is defined as the number of molecules in a given state over the total number of particles

P = n / n₀ = exp (- ΔE / kT)

Let's apply this expression to our case

a) P_α = n_α / n₀ = exp (-ΔE / kT)

b) the Boltzmann constant

k = 1,381 10⁻²³ J / K (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J) = 8.63 10⁻⁵ eV / K

kT = 8.63 105 300 = 2,589 10⁻² eV

P_β = exp (- 50 10⁻³ /2.589 10⁻² = exp (-1.931)

P_β = 0.145

c) If the temperature approaches absolute zero, the so-called is very high, so there is no energy to reach the excited state, therefore or all the molecules go to the alpha state

d) For molecules to spend ¼ of the time in this beta there must be ¼ of molecules in this state since the decay is constant.

P_β = ¼ = 0.25

P_β = exp (- ΔE / kT)

ΔE = -kT ln P_β

ΔE = - 2,589 10⁻² ln 0.25

ΔE = 0.3097 eV

ΔE = 309.7 meV

Would an increase in pressure favor the formation of ozone or of oxygen?

max2010maxim [7]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<u>An increase in pressure favors the formation of ozone </u>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Ozone, O3, decomposes to molecular oxygen in the stratosphere according to the reaction

2O3(g) ⇆ 3O2 (g).

There are more moles of product gas than moles of reactant gas. An increase in total pressure increases the partial pressure of each gas, shifting the equilibrium towards the reactants.
Therefore; an increase in pressure favors backward reactions towards the formation of ozone.
