A container, partially filled with water, is resting on a scale that measures its weight. Suppose you place a 200 g piece of wood inside the container filled with water.
What happens to the scale reading?

The scale reading increases by the weight of 200 g of mass. (If you're on Earth, that's about 2 Newtons.)

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.
