Answer

given,

net charge = +2.00 μC

we know,

1 coulomb charge =  6.28 x 10¹⁸electrons

1 micro coulomb  charge =  6.28 x 10¹⁸ x 10⁻⁶ electron

                                         = 6.28 x 10¹² electrons

2.00 μC = 2 x 6.28 x 10¹² electrons

              = 1.256 x 10¹³ electrons

since net charge is positive.

The number of protons should be 1.256 x 10¹³ more than electrons.

hence, +2.00 μC have 1.256 x 10¹³ more protons than electrons.

Which law is associated with inertia
N76 [4]

Answer:

The focus of Lesson 1 is Newton's first law of motion - sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Identify the pros and cons of using mirrors versus lenses in each of the following applications:
disa [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

A lens – An object, usually made of glass, that focuses or defocuses the light that passes through it.

A mirror – A smooth surface, usually made of glass with reflective material painted on the underside, that reflects light so as to give an image of what is in front of it.

Telescope – monocular optical instrument possessing magnification for observing distant objects, especially in astronomy.

Refracting telescopes – are telescopes that use lenses are and those that use concave parabolic mirrors are called reflecting telescopes. 

Pros of mirror telescope

• They are easier to construct and not expensive to produce

• made larger and more durable (more light can be directed to the eyepiece which is good)

• cannot have any occlusions 

• mirrors have less spherical aberration

• reflect all wavelengths of light equally

• more magnification power for cheaper version

Cons of mirror prisms

• it must also be realigned after cleaning, which can be expensive - maintenance disadvantage

• Reflective Surface Disadvantage

Pros of Lenses telescope

• Easy to use

• More reliable

Cons of Lens telescope

• are not easy to construct and expensive to produce

• May have occlusions

• spherical aberration are more

• Doesnt reflect wavelengths of light equally they bend light differently

• Less magnification power for cheaper version

• heavy

• Longer body

Pro of Mirror periscope

• it helps us to see further than our view that is what is above us or sometimes even below us.

•Light weight

disadvantage:

• it may not work properly and show distorted images due to fog. ; Some have a narrow field of view ; May be detected by others Ungainly (long, takes up space),

•Not as rugged as prisms.

• Maintenance of reflection surface

Pros of Prism periscopes

• incorporated lenses for magnification and function as telescopes.

• They typically employ prisms and total internal reflection instead of mirrors, because prisms, which do not require coatings on the reflecting surface, are much more rugged than mirrors.

• May be fitted with additional optical capabilities such as range-finding and targeting.

Cons.

•mechanically disadvantage: Complex optically ; Some have a narrow field of view ; May be detected by others 

Ungainly (long, takes up space)

• Heavy weight

Lens - Terrestrial telescope

Pro: An advantage is that it makes it possible to vary the magnification of the telescope.

Cons- This system has the disadvantage increasing the length of the telescope.

Mirror- Terrestrial telescope (Cassegrain)

Pro: Good for distant terrestrial viewing.

greater magnification is attained.

They are more shorter

Cons- It is not what people expect a telescope to look like.

Slight light loss due to secondary mirror obstruction compared to refractors. Generally not suited for most terrestrial applications nor for to view objects in the sky.

kap26 [50]

Answer:

Unlike a gas, plasma can conduct electricity and respond to magnetism. That's because plasma contains charged particles called ions.

The magnetosphere of Jupiter is
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

d. a large region outside Jupiter occupied by its magnetic field and filled with high-energy charged particles.  

Explanation:

A magnetic field is generated by the movement of a charged particle in the space around it. For the case of Jupiter its magnetic field is created by the liquid metallic hydrogen in its core.

So the magnetosphere is just the magnetic field around a planet, which interacts with high-energy charged particles (for example: Cosmic Rays).

Magnetospheres protect planets from the extreme radiation coming from stars or another interstellar source.
