A beam contains 4.9 × 108 doubly charged positive ions per cubic centimeter, all of which are moving north with a speed of 4.6 ×

105 m/s. What is (a) the magnitude of the current density and (b) direction of the current density (c) what additional quantity do you need to calculate the total current i in this ion beam?

Answer:

72.12\ \text{A/m}^2

south

cross sectional area of the beam

Explanation:

v = Velocity of ions = 4.6\times 10^5\ \text{m/s}

Number of ions per \text{cm}^3 = 4.9\times 10^8

Charge density would be the product of number of ions per cm^3 and the charge of electrons multiplied by 2 as they are doubly charged.

\rho_q=4.9\times 10^8\times 10^6\times 2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\\\Rightarrow \rho_q=0.0001568\ \text{C/m}^3

Current density is given by

J=\rho_qv\\\Rightarrow J=0.0001568\times 4.6\times 10^5\\\Rightarrow J=72.12\ \text{A/m}^2

The current density is 72.12\ \text{A/m}^2

The direction of the current density is opposite to the movement of the charged particle. The particles are moving north so the direction of current density will be to the south.

Current is given by

I=JA

where A is the cross sectional area of the beam .

So the cross sectional area of the beam is required to determine the total current in this ion beam.

The transfer of heat from the Sun is in the form of thermal radiation (also called infrared radiation)
The transfer of heat at the person’s feet is by thermal conduction. During the day the sand will be hot so if you step on it with bare feet there will be conduction of heat to the feet.

Describe how wet and dry barometers work
siniylev [52]

Answer: Wet barometer - The tool works by measuring atmospheric pressure to predict incoming weather. Since the glass is only filled halfway with water, the other half is exposed to the atmosphere. When the outdoor atmospheric pressure rises, the pressure in the glass decreases, and causes the water to move down the spout.

Dry barometer - A Torricellian barometer (sometimes called a mercury barometer) is an inverted (upside-down) glass tube standing in a bath of mercury. Air pressure pushes down on the surface of the mercury, making some rise up the tube. The greater the air pressure, the higher the mercury rises.

I hope this helps!

Which of the following is a supersonic speed? Mach 0.005 Mach 0.05 Mach 0.5 Mach 5
vitfil [10]
A supersonic speed has a Mach number ranging from 1.2 to 5. Supersonic speed tells us that an object's rate of travel is faster than the speed of sound. The Mach number is a dimensionless ratio between velocity and the local speed of sound for an incompressible flow in liquids and gases. It is determined by the equation M = u/c where u is the local flow velocity and c is speed of sound in the medium.
