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

An example of vector quantity thats not a force
Nataliya [291]
Examples of such quantities include distance, displacement, speed, velocity, acceleration, force, mass, momentum, energy, work, power, etc. All these quantities can by divided into two categories - vectors and scalars. A vector quantity is a quantity that is fully described by both magnitude and direction.

What is the momentum of an object with mass 8 kg and velocity 5 m/s
Slav-nsk [51]

Momentum = (mass) x (speed)

Momentum = (8 kg) x (5 m/s)

Momentum = 40 kg-m/s

Bumek [7]

No, the density of diamond and graphite would not be the same

Explanation:

What is density?

Density is the amount of substance per unit volume. It is simply mass divided by volume.

Density is greatly influenced by the way substances are packed.

Substances that are well packed will have lower volume for the same amount of matter than another that is poorly packed.

  • The carbon atoms in graphite are poorly packed. They are arranged layers upon layers.
  • Diamond carbon atoms have a cross-linked networked pattern. They are well packed.
  • For the same mass of matter, graphite will take up more space than diamond.

Since:

    Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

 The one that has a lesser volume will have a higher density.

Therefore diamond will have a higher density.

Light of wavelength 550 nm comes into a thin slit and produces a diffraction pattern on a board 8.0 m away. The first minimum da
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Width of the slit will be equal to 1.47 mm

Explanation:

We have given wavelength of the light \lambda =550nm=550\times 10^{-9}m

Distance D = 8 m

Distance between first minimum dark fringe and the central maximum is 2 mm

So x=3\times 10^{-3}m

We have to find the width of the slit

For the first order wavelength is equal to \lambda =\frac{x}{D}\times a, here a width of slit

So a=\frac{\lambda D}{x}=\frac{550\times 10^{-9}\times 8}{3\times 10^{-3}}=1466.666\times 10^{-6}=1.47mm

So width of the slit will be equal to 1.47 mm

Mechanics: design a decision tree to determine if an object is experiencing an unbalanced force, and using newton's laws of moti
masya89 [10]

Answer:

The decision designer is a step-wise process

Explanation:

A typical decision tree will be like this:

Are there any forces?

YES - then calculate the resultant forces              NO - Then no calculations are needed

IF YES - Are the forces balanced?                         NO - Then no calculations

IF YES - Then calculations can be done.

Resolve the forces to find the resultant of the forces in the question.
