The answer is; NASA's New Horizons spacecraft

It was launched in 2006 from Cape Canaveral and engineered by the Johns Hopkins University. The spacecraft has flown past Pluto, collected data and is now exploring the Kuiper belt object. The mission involved mapping of the planet's surface and check for atmosphere.

The magnetic field at the centre of a toroid is 2.2-mT. If the toroid carries a current of 9.6 A and has 6.000 turns, what is th

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Radius, r = 0.00523 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, $B=2\ mT=2.2\times 10^{-3}\ T$

Current in the toroid, I = 9.6 A

Number of turns, N = 6

We need to find the radius of the toroid. The magnetic field at the center of the toroid is given by :

$B=\dfrac{\mu_oNI}{2\pi r}$

$r=\dfrac{\mu_oNI}{2\pi B}$

$r=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 6\times 9.6}{2.2\pi \times 2\times 10^{-3}}$

r = 0.00523 m

$r=5.23\times 10^{-3}\ m$

So, the radius of the toroid is 0.00523 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

What makes up a atom

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

They're typically made up of three main parts: protons, neutrons and electrons. Think of the protons and neutrons as together forming a “sun”, or nucleus, at the centre of the system. The electrons orbit this nucleus, like planets. If atoms are impossibly small, these subatomic particles are even more so.

poizon [28]

Answer:

$4.048\times 10^{-7}\ m$

Explanation:

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s$

c = Speed of light = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

E = Energy = $4.91\times 10^{-19}\ J$

Wavelength ejected is given by

$\lambda=\dfrac{hc}{E}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{4.91\times 10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=4.048\times 10^{-7}\ m$

The maximum wavelength in angstroms of the radiation that will eject electrons from the metal is $4.048\times 10^{-7}\ m$
