Answer:

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.

Two objects made of the same material are heated to 60 oC and 90 oC. According to

nlexa [21]

Assuming that there is in a vacuum, the two object will cool at the same rate, because the objects are made of the same material they will have the same cooling rate, assuming the surrounding temperature is the same.

A 3.2-kg thin, circular hoop with a radius of 5.4 m is rotating about an axis through its center and perpendicular to its plane.

Answer:

Torque = –207.4 Nm

Explanation:

Given M = 3.2kg, r = 5.4m, α = –12rad/s² (it is slowing down)

Torque = I × α

α = angular acceleration

I = moment of inertia

I = MR² for a circular hoop

Torque = 3.2×5.4×(– 12)

Torque = –207.4 Nm

How do I find the speed of sound when given Frequency and displacement?

IceJOKER [234]

Answer: Taking into account sound is a wave, we can use the information of the displacement (generally given as a graph) to find the wavelength and frequency, then we can calculate the speed with the formula of the speed of a wave.

Explanation:

If we have the displacement graph of the sound wave, we can find its amplitude, its wavelength and period (which is the inverse of frequency).

Now, if we additionally have the frequency as data, we can use the equation of the speed of a wave:

$s=\lambda f$
