Answer:

Explanation:

A comet is a celestial body made up of ice and dust and assumed to have a tail.

As per considering ancient history, they are even termed as death-dealers and have doomed many planets.

If we talk about Earth, comets and asteroids have played a massive role in changing Earth's geology, atmosphere and evolution. Its believed that dinosaurs population is wiped out from Earth because of comets that falls during that time. Many new diseases are even brought by them.

Large comets can result into global environmental damage and can even lead to mass extension.The dust from the impact and the heat creates many harmful oxides resulting into acid rain and can kill thousand of organism.

A horizontal desk surface measures 1.7 m by 1.0 m. If the Earth's magnetic field has magnitude 0.42 mT and is directed 68° below

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The magnetic flux through the desk surface is $6.6\times10^{-4}\ T-m^2$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Magnetic field B = 0.42 T

Angle =68°

We need to calculate the magnetic flux

$\phi=BA\costheta$

Where, B = magnetic field

A = area

Put the value into the formula

$\phi=0.42\times10^{-3}\times1.7\times1.0\cos22^{\circ}$

$\phi=0.42\times10^{-3}\times1.7\times1.0\times0.927$

$\phi=6.6\times10^{-4}\ T-m^2$

Hence, The magnetic flux through the desk surface is $6.6\times10^{-4}\ T-m^2$ .

Q.Solve the following circuit find total resistance RT. Also find value of voltage across resister RC.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

R_total = 14.57 Ω , V_C = 1.176 V

Explanation:

To solve this circuit we are going to find the equivalent resistance of each branch, let's remember

* Serial resistance

$R_{eq}$ = ∑ $R_{i}$

* For resistance in parallel

1 / R_{eq} = ∑ 1/R_{i}

We solve the two branches of the wheatstone bridge

Series resistors

Branch B

R_B = Rb + R4

R_B = 2 + 18

R_B = 20 Ω

Branch C

R_C5 = Rc + R5

R_C5 = 3 + 12

R_C5 = 15 Ω

Resistance in parallel R_B and R_C5

1 / R_BC = 1 / R_B + 1 / R_C5

1 / R_BC = 1/20 + 1/15 = 0.116666

R_BC = 8.57 Ω

Now we have a single branch, we solve the series resistance

R_total = R_A + R_BC

R_total = 6 + 8.57

R_total = 14.57 Ω

b) they ask us for the voltage in the resistance R_C

Let's remember that the voltage in a series circuit is the sum of the voltages

10 = V_a + V_BC

10 = i R_a + i R_BC = i (R_a + R_BC)

i = 10 / (R_a + R_BC)

i = 10 / (14.57)

i = 0.6863 A

The current in the series circuit is constant

V_BC = i R_BC

V_BC = 0.6863 8.57

V_BC = 5.8819 V

This voltage is divided in the bridge, for the two branches in parallel it is the same, but the resistance is different in each branch.

Branch C

V_BC = i R_C5

i = V_BC / R_C5

i = 5.8819 / 15

i = 0.39213 A

In this branch we have two resistors in series, let's remember that the current in a series circuit is constant

V_C = i R_C

V_C = 0.39213 3

V_C = 1.176 V

Which of the following most logically completes the argument below?

kolezko [41]

Answer:

(E) a greatly increased number of small particles in Earth’s orbit would result in a blanket of reflections that would make certain valuable telescope observations impossible

Explanation:

The trade is one strong reflection for many weak reflections (and more dangerous near-Earth space travel).

None of the answer choices except the last one has anything to do with the effect of exploding a satellite. When you are arguing that exploding a satellite is ill conceived, you need to address specifically the effects of exploding the satellite.
