boy playing with a proton gun 977 a spacecraft leaves a space station and travels at a speed of 0.80 c in a direction that is 30° away from the +x direction. if a boy in the spaceship shoots a proton gun with protons having a speed of 0.5 e, what is the speed of the protons measured by the observer at rest on the space station when the gun is shot (a) toward the observer on the station? (b) toward the floor of the spaceship?

answer: a. same unit

explanation:

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
