Answer: C. They are regions in which strong magnetic fields make it difficult for fresh supplies of hot, ionized gas to reach the photosphere

Explanation:

Sunspots appear dark because they are regions in which strong magnetic fields make it difficult for fresh supplies of hot, ionized gas to reach the photosphere.

Sunspots are typically cooler than their surroundings. For example, the temperature of a large sunspot can be about 4,000 Kelvin which is lower than the temperature of the photosphere around it which is about 5,800 Kelvin.

(a) What is the escape speed on a spherical asteroid whose radius is 545 km and whose gravitational acceleration at the surface

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

1777.92 m/s

Explanation:

R = Radius of asteroid = 545 km

M = Mass of planet

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 2.9 m/s²

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Acceleration due to gravity is given by

$g=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{gR^2}{G}$

The expression of escape velocity is given by

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2G}{R}\dfrac{gR^2}{G}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gR}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 2.9\times 545000}\\\Rightarrow v=1777.92\ m/s$
