The current intensity is the product between the total charge that flows through a certain point (in our case, the target) in a time interval \delta t:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
We know the current, I=130 \mu A=130 \cdot 10^{-6} A, and the time interval, \Delta t=17 s, so we can find the total charge:
Q=I \Delta t= 2.21 \cdot 10^{-3}C


The total charge Q is the product between the number of protons N and the charge of each protons, e, which is e=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C:
Q=Ne
we can  re-write the equation solving for N, so we can find the number of protons striking the target in 17 s:
N= \frac{Q}{e}= \frac{2.21 \cdot 10^{-3}C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C} =1.38 \cdot 10^{16}

const2013 [10]
<span>In my opinion, I myself believe that there are only two supernovae. The first is the white dwarf. It makes sense because if something is too big for its size, it will "explode". Just like a basketball with too much air. Massive star supernovae is like something has reached it's full potential and cannot get any bigger or better.</span>

In another solar system is planet Driff, which
Fed [463]

Answer:

It is (1/5)th as much.

Explanation:

If we apply the equation

F = G*m*M / r²

where

m = mass of a man

M₀ = mass of the planet Driff

M = mass of the Earth

r₀ = radius of the planet Driff

r = radius of the Earth

G = The gravitational constant

F = The gravitational force on the Earth

F₀ = The gravitational force on the planet Driff

g = the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the earth

g₀ = the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the planet Driff

we have

F₀ = G*m*M₀ / r₀² = G*m*(5*M) / (5*r)²    

⇒  F₀ = G*m*M / (5*r²) = (1/5)*F

If

F₀ = (1/5)*F

then

W₀ = (1/5)*W   ⇒  m*g₀ = (1/5)*m*g   ⇒   g₀ = (1/5)*g

It is (1/5)th as much.

An 888.0 kg elevator is moving downward with a velocity of 0.800 m/s. It decelerates uniformly and comes to a stop in a distance
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The value of tension on the cable T = 1065.6 N

Explanation:

Mass = 888 kg

Initial velocity ( u )= 0.8 \frac{m}{sec}

Final velocity ( V ) = 0

Distance traveled before come to rest = 0.2667 m

Now use third law of motion V^{2} = u^{2} - 2 a s

Put all the values in above formula we get,

⇒ 0 = 0.8^{2} - 2 × a ×0.2667

⇒ a = 1.2 \frac{m}{sec^{2} }

This is the deceleration of the box.

Tension in the cable is given by T = F = m × a

Put all the values in above formula we get,

T = 888 × 1.2

T = 1065.6 N

This is the value of tension on the cable.
