Answer:

Solar wind particles can be captured by the Earth's magnetosphere. When these particles spiral down along the magnetic field into the atmosphere, they are responsible for?

Answer is Aurorae.

Explanation:

Solar Wind:

A planet's magnetic filed forms a shield to protect the surface of planet from energetic and charged particles coming from sun and other planets. The sun is continuously  sending out charged particles , called Solar wind.

Magnetosphere of planet:

If a planet has a magnetic field then it will interact with the solar wind and deflect the charged particles in the wind. Due to which an elongated cavity in solar wind formed. This cavity is called magnetosphere of the planet.

When Solar wind particles run in a magnetic field , they are  deflected and spiral down along magnetic field lines into the atmosphere.

Most of the solar wind particles deflected around the planet but a few particles manage to leak into the magnetic filed and become trapped in the magnetic field of the planet, to create Radiation Belts or Charged Particles Belts.

Variable Solar Wind can give some radiation belt particles with enough energy to spiral down along the magnetic filed into the atmosphere and Create Aurorae

Here Aurorae is an atmospheric phenomenon consisting of Bands, streamers of light, usually yellow , green or red , that move across the sky in the polar regions.

Explanation:

new non law neutron means neutral then it's important that baseball and softball features small respectable range of masses soft it means that when a ball hits anything hard it comes back by the Newton Law if the baseball is big and the small boy small and then if the contract with each other they ignore triple so when a ball hits the wall if the comeback because of the Mutants and when a big ball if we throw it to the wall it doesn't come that it comes back but in a very low way because it contains less neutrons in it if it is helpful please share with me

A 50.-kilogram rock rolls off the edge of a cliff. if it is traveling at a speed of 24.2 m/s when it hits the ground, what is th
ElenaW [278]

The correct answer to the question is : 29.88 m.

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, the mass of the rock m = 50 Kg.

The rock is rolling off the edges of the cliff.

The final velocity of the rock when it hits the ground v = 24 .2 m/s.

Let the height of the cliff is h.

The potential energy gained by the rock at the top of the cliff = mgh.

Here, g is known as acceleration due to gravity, and g = 9.8\ m/s^2

When the rock rolls off the edge of the cliff, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

When the rock hits the ground, whole of its potential energy is converted into its kinetic energy.

The kinetic energy of the rock when it touches the ground is given as -

                Kinetic energy K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2.

From above we know that -

   Kinetic energy at the bottom of the cliff = potential energy at a height h

                 \frac{1}{2}mv^2=\ mgh

                ⇒ v^2=\ 2gh

                ⇒ h=\ \frac{v^2}{2g}

                ⇒ h=\ \frac{(24.2)^2}{2\times 9.8}

                ⇒ h=\ 29.88\ m

Hence, the height of the cliff is 29.88 m

Force F acts between two charges, q1 and q2, separated by a distance d. If q1 is increased to twice its original value and the d
Step2247 [10]
Okay, haven't done physics in years, let's see if I remember this.

So Coulomb's Law states that F = k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2} so if we double the charge on Q_1 and double the distance to (2d) we plug these into the equation to find

<span>F_{new} = k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{(2d)^2}=k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{4d^2} = \frac{2}{4} \cdot k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot F_{old}</span>

So we see the new force is exactly 1/2 of the old force so your answer should be \frac{1}{2}F if I can remember my physics correctly.

Sunitha can type 1800 words in half an hour. What is her typing speed in words per minute?
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

60words/minute

Explanation:

If Sunitha can type 1800 words in half an hour, this can be expressed as;

1800 words = 30 minutes

To get her typing speed per minute, we will use the formula

Speed = Number of words/Time used

Typing speed = 1800/30

Typing speed = 60words/minute

Hence her typing speed in words per minute is 60words/minute
