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

Winds tend to rotate in a counter clockwise direction in the ___ (northern or southern) Hemisphere as they move into a low press
lana [24]

Answer:

Winds tend to rotate in a counter clockwise direction in the center of northern and southern hemisphere.

Explanation:

The wind blows clockwise around a high pressure area  in the northern hemisphere and the wind blows counter - clockwise around low pressure.  

In the northern hemisphere High-pressure systems rotate clockwise direction and in the southern hemisphere  low-pressure systems rotate clockwise direction.

gas has a volume of 185 ml and pressure of 310 mm hg. The desiered volume is 74.0 ml. What is the required new pressure
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The required new pressure is 775 mm hg.

Explanation:

We are given that gas has a volume of 185 ml and a pressure of 310 mm hg. The desired volume is 74.0 ml.

We have to find the required new pressure.

Let the required new pressure be '\text{P}_2'.

As we know that Boyle's law formula states that;

                    P_1 \times V_1 = P_2 \times V_2

where, P_1 = original pressure of gas in the container = 310 mm hg

           P_2 = required new pressure

            V_1 = volume of gas in the container = 185 ml

            V_2 = desired new volume of the gas = 74 ml

So,  P_2 = \frac{P_1 \times V_1}{V_2}  

       P_2 = \frac{310 \times 185}{74}

            =  775 mm hg

Hence, the required new pressure is 775 mm hg.
