Answer:

6.37 x 10³ Km

Explanation:

given,

Radius of earth = 6,370,000 m

we know,

1 km = 1000 m

1 m = 0.001 Km

6,370,000 m =  6,370,000 x 0.001

                       = 6,370 Km

The number 6,370 has 3 significant figure.

To transform this to an exponential number, it is necessary to move the decimal to the left so there is only one digit in front of the decimal point.

Representing the given number in scientific notation

      = 6.37 x 10³ Km

A 3" diameter germanium wafer that is 0.020" thick at 300K has 1.015 x 10^17 As atoms added to it. What is the resistivity of th
Ber [7]

Answer:

0.546 ohm / μm

Explanation:

Given that :

N = 1.015 * 10^17

Electron mobility, u = 3900

Hole mobility, h = 1900

Ng = 4.42 x10^22

q = 1.6*10^-19

Resistivity = 1/qNu

Resistivsity (R) = 1/(1.6*10^-19 * 1.015 * 10^17 * 3900)

= 0.01578880889 ohm /cm

Resistivity of germanium :

R = 1 / 2q * sqrt(Ng) * sqrt(u*h)

R = 1 / 2 * 1.6*10^-19 * sqrt(4.42 x10^22) * sqrt(3900*1900)

R = 1 /0.0001831

R = 5461.4964 ohm /cm

5461.4964 / 10000

0.546 ohm / μm

A long wire carries a current toward the north in a magnetic field that is directed vertically downward perpendicular to the sur
xenn [34]

The direction of the magnetic force on the wire is west.

The magnetic force acting on the moving protons acts northward in the horizontal plane. If the thumb is up (current flows vertically up), the wrapped finger will be counterclockwise.

Therefore, the direction of the magnetic field is counterclockwise. Here, the magnetic field is pointing upwards (vertical magnetic field) and the electrons are moving east. Applying Fleming's left-hand rule here, we can see that the direction of force is along the south direction.

As the change in magnetic flux increases upwards, Lenz's law indicates that the induced magnetic field of the induced current must resist and the inside of the loop must be directed downwards. Using the right-hand rule, we can see that a clockwise current is induced.

a plane is flying due east in still air at 395 km/h. suddenly, the plane is hit by wind blowing at 55km/h toward the west. what
Sphinxa [80]
Let's be clear:  The plane's "395 km/hr" is speed relative to the
air, and the wind's "55 km/hr" is speed relative to the ground.

Before the wind hits, the plane moves east at 395 km/hr relative
to both the air AND the ground.

After the wind hits, the plane still maintains the same air-speed.
That is, its velocity relative to the air is still 395 km/hr east.
But the wind vector is added to the air-speed vector, and the
plane's velocity <span>relative to the ground drops to 340 km/hr east</span>.

What is the acceleration of a ball thrown vertically upward in the presence of Earth’s<br> gravity?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

When a ball thrown upward reaches its highest point, its velocity is? is still -9.8 m/s2. The acceleration due to gravity is always -9.8 m/s/s, regardless of the ball's velocity.
