The term pressure refers to the force per area created by the weight
of anything whose weight is distributed over an area, such as the
Earth's atmosphere, a lake, a gas inside a sealed jar, or a pointy
high heel.

A proton (mass=1.67x10^-27 kg, charge= 1.60x10^-19 C) moves from point A to point under the influence of an electrostatic force
Tom [10]

Answer:

VB -  VA  =  - 33.4

Explanation:

Generally the workdone in moving the proton is mathematically represented as

     W  =  KE_f  - KE_i

Where KE_i \ and \  KE_f \  are\  the\  initial  \  and  \  final \  kinetic \  energy

So

    KE_i  =  \frac{1}{2} m v_a^2

Here v_a is the velocity at A with value  50 m/s

So

    KE_i  =  \frac{1}{2} (1.67*10^{-27}) * 50^2

    KE_i  = 2.09 *10^{-24} \  J

Also  

     KE_f  =  \frac{1}{2} m v_b^2

Here v_a is the velocity at A with value 80 km/s = 80000 m/s

=>   KE_f  =  \frac{1}{2} (1.67*10^{-27}) * 80000^2

=>   KE_f  = 5.34 *10^{-18} \  J

 So

    W  =   5.34 *10^{-18}  - 2.09 *10^{-24}

     W  =   5.34 *10^{-18}  m/s

Now this workdone is also mathematically represented as

     W =  q *  V

So  

    q *  V =   5.34 *10^{-18}

Here  q =  1.60*10^{-19} C

So

        V =   \frac{5.34 *10^{-18} }{1.60*10^{-19}}

         V =   33.4 \  V

Generally proton movement is in the direction of the electric field it means that  VA>VB

So

    VB -  VA  =  - 33.4

Determine the index of refraction of glass that is struck by unpolarized light at 53.8 degrees and resulting in a fully polarize
nignag [31]

Answer:

The refractive index of glass, \mu_{g} = 1.367

Solution:

Brewster angle is the special case of incident angle that causes the reflected and refracted rays to be perpendicular to each other or that angle of incident which causes the complete polarization of the reflected ray.

To determine the refractive index of glass:

tan\theta_{P} = \frac{\mu_{g}}{\mu_{a}}                 (1)

where

\mu_{a} = refractive index of glass

\mu_{g} = refractive index of glass

Now, using eqn (1)

tan{53.8^{\circ}} = \frac{\mu_{g}}{1}

\mu_{g} = tan53.8^{\circ}

\mu_{g} = 1.367

A geologist sees a fault along which blocks of rock in the footwall have moved higher relative to blocks of rock in the hanging
Luda [366]

Answer: Normal fault

Explanation:

The type of fault that is explained above is a normal fault. We should note that normal faults typically takes place in a divergent boundary in a scenario where the crusts may have been pulled apart.

Since the crust is pulled apart in this case, it leads to the downward movement of the hanging wall which leads to the football being above the hanging wall.
