Answer;

-Thermosphere

Explanation;

-The thermosphere lies between the exosphere and the mesosphere.It is a region of increasing temperature in Earth’s atmosphere that is located above the mesosphere.

-The thermosphere greatly helps in protecting the earth and making space exploration and modern forms of communication possible. It also supports and protects life on the planet. It recycles water, absorbs the sun's energy, and creates a moderate temperature.

-The aurora (Northern Lights and Southern Lights) mostly occur in the thermosphere. It is a natural electrical phenomenon characterized by the appearance of streamers of reddish or greenish light in the sky, especially near the northern or southern magnetic pole. The effect is caused by the interaction of charged particles from the sun with atoms in the upper atmosphere.

a charged partocle produces an electric field with a magnitude of 2.0 N/C at a point that is 50cm away from the particle

zheka24 [161]

The charge on the particle is 5.6 × 10⁻¹¹ C.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

The magnitude of an electric field produced by a charge is given by:

E = q/ 4πε₀r²

where,

E = electric field

q = charge

r = distance

1/4πε₀ = 8.99 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²

Given,

E = 2.0 N/C

r = 50 cm = 0.5 m

To find,

q =?

Put the values in the above equation:

E = q/ 4πε₀r²

q = E (4πε₀r²)

q = 2.0 × (0.50²)/ 8.99 × 10⁹

q = 5.6 × 10⁻¹¹ C

Therefore, the particle has a charge of 5.6 × 10⁻¹¹ C.

<h3>What is an electric field?</h3>

The physical field that surrounds each electric charge and acts to either attract or repel all other charges in the field is known as an electric field. Electric charges or magnetic fields with different amplitudes are the sources of electric fields.

During the spin cycle of a washing machine, the clothes stick to the outer wall of the barrel as it spins at a rate as high as 1

Darya [45]

To answer the two questions, we need to know two important equations involving centripetal movement:

v = ωr (ω represents angular velocity <u>in radians</u>)

a = $\frac{v^{2}}{r}$

Let's apply the first equation to question a:

v = ωr

v = ((1800*2π) / 60) * 0.26

Wait. 2π? 0.26? 60? Let's break down why these numbers are written differently. In order to use the equation v = ωr, it is important that the units of ω is in radians. Since one revolution is equivalent to 2π radians, we can easily do the conversion from revolutions to radians by multiplying it by 2π. As for 0.26, note that the question asks for the units to be m/s. Since we need meters, we simply convert 26 cm, our radius, into meters. The revolutions is also given in revs/min, and we need to convert it into revs/sec so that we can get our final units correct. As a result, we divide the rate by 60 to convert minutes into seconds.

Back to the equation:

v = ((1800*2π)/60) * 0.26

v = (1800*2(3.14)/60) * 0.26

v = (11304/60) * 0.26

v = 188.4 * 0.26

v = 48.984

v = 49 (m/s)

Now that we know the linear velocity, we can find the centripetal acceleration:

a = $\frac{v^{2}}{r}$

a = $\frac{49^{2}}{0.26}$

a = 9234.6 (m/ $s^{2}$ )

Wow! That's fast!

<u>We now have our answers for a and b:</u>

a. 49 (m/s)

b. 9.2 * $10^{3}$ (m/ $s^{2}$ )

If you have any questions on how I got to these answers, just ask!

You want to place a mirror at a blind turn on the staircase in your house. Which would be best suited for this purpose?

Eduardwww [97]

You can't see beyond a blind turn, so a mirror would allow you to see around the corner.
