-A photon travels, on average, a particular distance, d, before being briefly absorbed and released by an atom, which scatters it in a new random direction.
-Given d and the speed of light, c, you can figure out the average time step and space step size (how often the photon “steps” and how far it “steps” each time).
-The size of the Sun is figured in terms of step size. Some surprisingly tricky math happens, involving “Brownian motion” and probabilities. Finally,
-The average time it would take to get to the surface of the Sun is found.
Answer:
An unconformity shows where some rock layers have been lost because of erosion. To date rock layers, geologists first give a relative age to a layer of rock at one location and then give the same age to matching layers at other locations. Certain fossils, called index fossils, help geologists match rock layers.
Explanation:
Answer:
+1.46×10¯⁶ C
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Charge 1 (q₁) = +26.3 μC = +26.3×10¯⁶ C
Force (F) = 0.615 N
Distance apart (r) = 0.750 m
Electrical constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²
Charge 2 (q₂) =?
The value of the second charge can be obtained as follow:
F = Kq₁q₂ / r²
0.615 = 9×10⁹ × 26.3×10¯⁶ × q₂ / 0.750²
0.615 = 236700 × q₂ / 0.5625
Cross multiply
236700 × q₂ = 0.615 × 0.5625
Divide both side by 236700
q₂ = (0.615 × 0.5625) / 236700
q₂ = +1.46×10¯⁶ C
NOTE: The force between them is repulsive as stated from the question. This means that both charge has the same sign. Since the first charge has a positive sign, the second charge also has a positive sign. Thus, the value of the second charge is +1.46×10¯⁶ C
Bit of an odd question. Power Plants are known to use water-powered turbines to generate electricity, but can also make use of nuclear fission.
1.7 x 10^2 N
or 166 N
First you find the vertical component of the weight, which is 9.8*40, (g*m), which is 392 N. You then find the angle between that and the slope, which is 90-25, which is 65. You then multiply the vertical weight by cos(65), to find the component of that that is parallel to the slope. You get 165.666 N
