Earth's atmosphere is constantly bombarded by cosmic ray protons that originate somewhere in space. If the protons all passed th

rough the atmosphere, each square meter of Earth's surface would intercept protons at the average rate of 1800 protons per second. What would be the electric current in amperes intercepted by a 41 × 107 km2 area on the planet

Answer:

Electric current in amperes = 1.1808 A

Explanation:

Given:

Intercept protons rate = 1800 protons per second

Area = 41 × 10⁷ km²

Find:

Electric current in amperes

Computation:

Current density = Intercept protons rate × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹

Current density = 1800 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹

Current density = 2.88 × 10⁻¹⁶

1 km² = 10⁶m²

So,

Electric current in amperes =  2.88 × 10⁻¹⁶ × 41 × 10⁷ × 10⁶

Electric current in amperes = 1.1808 A

The bandgap of InP semiconductor laser is 1.0 eV. The effective mass of the valence band is ½ of the effective mass of the condu
klemol [59]

Answer: the wavelength of this transition is 1.2039 um

Explanation:

Given that;

the energy level between the transitioning energy gap Eg = 1.0 + 0.03 = 1.03 eV

we know that λ = 1.24 / Eg

so we substitute our Eg into the above equation

λ = 1.24 / 1.03

λ = 1.2039 um

therefore the wavelength of this transition is 1.2039 um

25. IF THE ROADWAY IS WET AND THE CAR STARTS TO SKID, YOU SHOULD: A. Slow down by pumping the brakes quickly and firmly B. Slow
AnnZ [28]

If the roadway is wet and the cars starts to skid, one should slow down by shifting to lower gear. The correct option is B.

<h3>What are gears?</h3>

A gear is component used to transmit motion. They are used in cars, trucks, machines, bicycles, etc.

For a car to avoid skidding on the wet roads, one must drive the car slowly. This can be done by shifting the gear to the lower one. This will help car to keep balance when brakes are applied on wet roads.

Thus, the correct option is B.

The 4.0 -kg head of an ax is moving at 3 m/s when it strikes a log and penetrates 0.01m into the log. What is the average force
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

the average force the blade exerts on the log is 1791.05 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the ax head, m = 4 kg

speed of the ax, v = 3 m/s

depth traveled into the log, d = 0.01 m

The time to traveled through the depth;

s = (\frac{u+v}{2} )t\\\\0.01 =  (\frac{0+3}{2} )t\\\\0.01 = 1.5t\\\\t = \frac{0.01}{1.5} \\\\t = 0.0067 \ s

The average force the blade exerts on the log;

F = ma=\frac{mv}{t} = \frac{4 \times 3}{0.0067} = 1791.05 \ N \\\\

Therefore, the average force the blade exerts on the log is 1791.05 N.

When melting of a metamorphic rock occurs, it changes into what?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The upper limit of metamorphism occurs at the pressure and temperature of wet partial melting of the rock in question. Once melting begins, the process changes to an igneous process rather than a metamorphic process. During metamorphism the protolith undergoes changes in texture of the rock and the mineral make up of the rock.

A 5c charge experiences a force of 40n when put at a certain location in space. What is the electric field at that location?
stepladder [879]
The 'strength' of the electric field is the force on 1C of charge at that point.

At this 'certain location', the field is 40/5 = 8 newtons per coulomb = <u>8 volts</u>
