You would have to place your sensor above earth's atmosphere because it blocks out nearly all x-rays. this is why we have the Chandra observatory

hope this helps

If you wanted to detect X-rays coming from the sun, the detector would have to be placed in orbit around Earth since most X-rays are absorbed the atmosphere.

Hope this helped :)

Estimate the total number of bacteria and other prokaryotes in the biosphere of the earth. (assume the bacteria are found to a d
Fofino [41]
Since the Earth is almost spherical in shape, we are actually to find first the volume of the spherical segment at a depth of 1,000 m. The radius of the Earth is 6,371,000 meters. The volume of a spherical segment is:

V = 1/3*πh²(3r - h)
Substituting the values and making sure the units is in mm,
V = 1/3*π(1000 m * 1000 mm/1 m)²[3(6,371,000 m * 1000 mm/1 m) - (1000 m * 1000 mm/1 m)]
V = 2×10²² mm³

Thus, the total amount of bacteria is:

2×10²² mm³ * 100 bacteria/1 mm³ = 2×10²⁴ bacteria

A rock is stuck deep in the dirt. When you pull on the rock to remove it, what type of force are you exerting?
aleksandrvk [35]
It is Tension as the other 3 answer choices would not make sense. Compression would mean you are pressing the rock on both sides or in this case, pushing it into the dirt. It can't be nuclear force as you are pulling out a rock. Air resistance would not make sense either as there is no air involved in the scenario at all.
