The astronomer who discovered the dwarf planet Eris suggests there might be another object far beyond the Kupier belt. If this P

lanet X exists, it would be about 10 times the mass of Earth and 2-3 times the size of Earth, putting it in the ice giant category, and have an orbit with a semi-major axis of 700 AU. You can read more about this object on NASA's page. If this object exists, what would we classify it as?

These objects would be classified as extreme trans Neptunian object (ETNO).

Explanation:

ETNO’s are the objects lying beyond the planet Neptune and orbiting the Sun. They follow a highly eccentric path which is tilted. ETNO has been grouped into three major according to their respective perihelia.  

Within this region (beyond Neptune’s orbit), a hypothetical planet has been discovered. It was discovered following its gravitational effect on the other objects of Kuiper Belt (region beyond the orbit of the Neptune- the last planet of our Solar system)

The Planet is assumed to be around 2 times the Earth’s size and around 10 times heavier than Earth.

A small but measurable current of 3.8 × 10-10 A exists in a copper wire whose diameter is 2.5 mm. The number of charge carriers
Karolina [17]

Answer:

a) 4.9*10^-6

b) 5.71*10^-15

Explanation:

Given

current, I = 3.8*10^-10A

Diameter, D = 2.5mm

n = 8.49*10^28

The equation for current density and speed drift is

J = I/A = (ne) Vd

A = πD²/4

A = π*0.0025²/4

A = π*6.25*10^-6/4

A = 4.9*10^-6

Now,

J = I/A

J = 3.8*10^-10/4.9*10^-6

J = 7.76*10^-5

Electron drift speed is

J = (ne) Vd

Vd = J/(ne)

Vd = 7.76*10^-5/(8.49*10^28)*(1.60*10^-19)

Vd = 7.76*10^-5/1.3584*10^10

Vd = 5.71*10^-15

Therefore, the current density and speed drift are 4.9*10^-6

And 5.71*10^-15 respectively

Problem 4: a long wire carries current towards east. a positive charge moves westward and just north from the wire. what is the
Alex787 [66]
The direction of the force experienced by the positive charge is upward.

We can use the right-hand rule to understand the direction of the Lorentz force acting on the charge: let's put the thumb in the same direction of the current in the wire (eastward), while the other fingers "wrap themselves" around the wire. These other fingers give the direction of the Lorentz force in every point of the space around the wire. Since the charge is located north of the wire, in that point the fingers are directed upward, so the positive charge experiences a force directed upward.
(if it was a negative charge, we should have taken the opposite direction)

NISA [10]

Answer:

The Michelson-Morley was designed to detect the motion of the earth through the ether.

No such relation was found and the speed of light is assumed to be the same in all reference frames.
