An asteroid has acquired a net negative charge of 149 C from being bombarded by the solar wind over the years, and is currently

in equilibrium whereby it expels electrons at the same rate as it acquires them. How many more electrons does it have than protons

Answer:

93.125 × 10^(19)

Explanation:

We are told the asteroid has acquired a net negative charge of 149 C.

Thus;

Q = -149 C

charge on electron has a value of:

e = -1.6 × 10^(-19) C

Now, for us to determine the excess electrons on the asteroid, we will just divide the net charge in excess on the asteroid by the charge of a single electron.

Thus;

n = Q/e

n = -149/(-1.6 × 10^(-19))

n = 93.125 × 10^(19)

Thus, it has 93.125 × 10^(19) more electrons than protons

What is negative acceleration?
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).

Trava [24]

Answer:

rotates faster

Explanation:

A huge rotating cloud of particles in space gravitate together to form an increasingly dense ball As it shrinks in size, the cloud rotates faster. Because Angular momentum is conserved, so when it shrinks the moment of inertia decreases, then angular speed must increase. So it rotates fast.

Answer:

The Northern flowing stream will affect the coast of Europe by  making  climate of Western Europe and Northern Europe to be warmer than other areas that are located around the same latitude and this is simply because of the North Atlantic Current

Explanation:

The Northern flowing stream will affect the coast of Europe because the North Atlantic current causes the Gulf stream to be split into two ( 2 ) and the Northern stream which is a warm stream crossing over to Northern Europe. <em>The Gulf stream makes climate of Western Europe and Northern Europe to be warmer than other areas that are located around the same latitude and this is simply because of the North Atlantic Current</em>
