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

The region marked X in the diagram shows that the objects have the same charge.

<h3>What is conduction?</h3>

The term conduction has to do with the manner of charging in which charge is passed from one object to another. Induction involves charging objects without the objects touching each other.

Football player 1 has a mass of 80 kg and a velocity of 2 m/s east while player 2 has a mass of 70 kg and a velocity of 3 m/s we
sukhopar [10]

The total momentum of the system is equal to 50 Kgm/s.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Mass 1 = 80 kg
  • Velocity 1 = 2 m/s east.
  • Mass 2 = 70 kg
  • Velocity 2 = 3 m/s west.

To determine the total momentum of the system:

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

Momentum = mass \times velocity

<u>For Football player 1:</u>

Momentum = 80 \times 2

Momentum 1 = 160 Kgm/s.

<u>For Football player 2:</u>

Momentum = 70 \times 3

Momentum 1 = 210 Kgm/s.

Now, we can calculate the total momentum of the system:

Total\;momentum = momentum \;2 - momentum \;1\\\\Total\;momentum = 210-160

Total momentum = 50 Kgm/s.

<u>Note:</u> We subtracted because the football players were moving in opposite directions.

How does the search for exoplanets help us describe how science requires creativity?
Aliun [14]

Answer:

As the planets are very small and dark in comparison with stars, it makes them very hard to be found from earth.

Explanation:

Astronomy, of course, has a solution for this. As astronomers can't observe planets directly, they decided to observe the stars and search for the effects that planets have on them.

There are many ways of observing the exoplanets: Radial Velocity, Transit Photometry, Microlensing, Astrometry, Direct Imaging, etc.

Before all of this, scientist had to find ways to prove their theories. Most of their time they have spent in giving the creative answers.

Science and creativity are very much connected when we speak about the development of science. Rationality and creativity always go together.

In order to create an idea that other people will consider useful, it is important to use creativity. As no one has the exact answer when it comes to science, the adventure is to research the unknown.
