A few people criticized Darwin for his theory, such as the left-leaning biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Richard Lewontin, who fear the political implications of Darwinian theory. They fear that evolutionary theory, even when bolstered by modern genetics, and molecular biology, does not make reality probable enough.
Answer:
The earth's magnetic field protects the surface from strong electrical currents coming from the sun
Explanation:
The Earth's magnetic field called the “magnetosphere” – protects our atmosphere from the “solar wind.” That's the constant stream of charged particles flowing outward from the sun. When the magnetosphere shields the Earth from these solar particles, they get funneled toward the polar regions of our atmosphere.
The Earth's magnetic field serves to deflect most of the solar wind, whose charged particles would otherwise strip away the ozone layer that protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. One stripping mechanism is for gas to be caught in bubbles of magnetic field, which are ripped off by solar winds.
Answer:
E. Kepler's second law says the planet must move fastest when it is closest, not when it is farthest away.
Explanation:
We can answer this question by using Kepler's second law of planetary motion, which states that:
"A line connecting the center of the Sun with the center of each planet sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time"
This means that when a planet is further away from the Sun, it will move slower (because the line is longer, so it must move slower), while when the planet is closer to the Sun, it will move faster (because the line is shorter, so it must move faster).
In the text of this problem, it is written that the planet moves at 31 km/s when is close to the star and 35 km/s when it is farthest: this is in disagreement with what we said above, therefore the correct option is
E. Kepler's second law says the planet must move fastest when it is closest, not when it is farthest away.
Answer:
Displacement
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Kinematics</u>
- Displacement vs Total Distance
Explanation:
Displacement is the difference between the start position and end position.
Total Distance is the entire distance <em>traveled</em> between the start and end position.
