Answer:

A) 11.28 x 10^(7) A.m²

B) 2.258 x 10^(17)A

Explanation:

A) The current density is given by the formula ;

J = nqv

Where n is the density of protons in the solar wind which is 12.5 cm³ or 12.5 x 10^(-6) m³

q is the proton charge which is 1.6 x 10^(-19) C

v is velocity which is 564km or 564000m

Thus, J = 12.5 x 10^(-6) x 1.6 x 10^(-19) x 564000 = 11.28 x 10^(7) A.m²

B) the formula for the total current the earth received is given as;

I = JA

The effective area is the cross section of the earth and thus,

Area = πr² where r is the radius of the earth given as: 6.371 x 10^(6)

A = π(6.371 x 10^(6)) ²

So I = 11.28 x 10^(7) x π(6.371 x 10^(6))² = 2.258 x 10^(17)A

A key falls from a bridge that is 32 m above the water. It falls directly into a model boat, moving with constant velocity, that
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Speed of the boat, v = 4.31 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of the bridge, h = 32 m

The model boat is 11 m from the point of impact when the key was released, d = 11 m

Firstly, we will find the time needed for the boat to get in this position using second equation of motion as :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Here, u = 0 and a = g

t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}

t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 32}{9.8}}

t = 2.55 seconds

Let v is the speed of the boat. It can be calculated as :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

v=\dfrac{11\ m}{2.55\ s}

v = 4.31 m/s

So, the speed of the boat is 4.31 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

The flywheel of an engine has moment of inertia 2.50 kg m2 about its rotation axis. What constant torque is required to bring it
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The moment of inertia is  I = 2.50 \ kg \cdot m^2

    The final  angular speed is w_f =  400 rev/min  =  \frac{400 * 2\pi}{60}  = 41.89 \ rad/s

     The time taken is  t =  8.0 s

      The initial angular speed is  w_i  =  0\ rad/s

Generally the average angular acceleration is mathematically represented as

        \alpha  =  \frac{w_f - w_i }{t}

=>     \alpha  =  \frac{41.89}{8}

=>      \alpha  = 5.24 \ rad/s^2

Generally the torque is mathematically represented as

   \tau  =  I  *  \alpha

=>    \tau   =  5.24 *  2.50

=>     \tau   =  13.09 \  N \cdot m

Why is the nucleus of an atom dense​
Inessa [10]

Explanation:

The nucleus of an atom is dense because it contains more of particles in a very little space.

The nucleus is the center of an atom made up of the protons and neutrons.

Atomic nucleus is very small compared to the size of the atom.

 Density is function of mass and volume.

Mass is the amount of matter in a substance.

Volume is the space occupied by a substance.

    The more the mass the more the density.

Since protons and neutron are massive bodies occupying a small space, they make the nucleus very dense.
