Answer:

Astronomical location of Mount St. Helen's is 46°12′01″N 122°11′22″O, meaning that such statovolcano is located at middle latitudes. In middle latitudes, troposphere is 17 kilometers high, which is below stratosphere, whose height is 10 kilometers at middle latitudes. Hence, the eruption of Mount St. Helen's in 1980 contiminated troposphere and lower parts of stratosphere due to volcanic ash.

A rock is thrown directly upward from the edge of a flat roof of a building that is 56.3 meters tall. The rock misses the buildi
Vlada [557]

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, d = -56.3 m

It strikes the ground 4.00 seconds after being thrown.

Using second equation of motion to find the speed was the rock thrown. So,

d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Here, a = -g

d=ut-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\-56.3=u(4)-4.9(4)^2\\\\-56.3=4u-78.4\\\\u=5.52\ m/s

Let it will cover a distance of s meters. So,

s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{-2g}\\\\s=\dfrac{0^2-(5.52)^2}{-2\times 9.8}\\\\s=1.55\ m

An experiment on the earth's magnetic field is being carried out 1.00 m from an electric cable. What is the maximum allowable cu
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The allowed current in the cable is 1.15 A.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 1.00 m

Suppose the magnetic field is 2.3\times10^{-5}\ T and  if the experiment is to be accurate to 1.0 %

We need to calculate the current

Using formula of magnetic field

B=\dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{2\pi r}

I=\dfrac{B\times2\pi r}{\mu_{0}}

Put the value into the formula

I=\dfrac{2.3\times10^{-5}\times2\times\pi\times1.00}{4\pi\times10^{-7}}

I=115\ A

If the experiment is to be accurate to 1.0%

Then,

We need to calculate the allowed current in the cable

I'=(1.0%)\times I

I'=\dfrac{1.0}{100}\times115

I'=1.15\ A

Hence, The allowed current in the cable is 1.15 A.

What missions have been sent to explore Venus and what did they discover
faust18 [17]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

  • Venus Express (2005 - 14)
  • Galileo (1989 - 90): As it flew by Venus on its way to Jupiter, it collected measurements of charged particles, dust and magnetism, infrared and ultraviolet spectral observation, data for infrared lower - atmosphere maps, and 81 camera images
  • Magellan (1989 - 90)
  • Vega 1 (1984 - 85)
  • Vega 2 (1984 - 85)
  • Venera 4 (1964): Atmosphere made up of entirely carbon dioxide, found that temperatures ranged from 40 degrees Celsius high up in the atmosphere to 280 degrees Celsius closer to the surface, and pressures ranged 15 to 22 atmospheres
  • Venera 6 (1969)
  • Venera 7 (1970): Became first spacecraft to return data from another planet and reported surface temperature of 475 degrees Celsius and atmospheric pressure 90 times greater than Earth's
  • Venera 8 (1972)
  • Venera 9 (1975)
  • Venera 10 (1975): Transmitted images from the surface
  • Venera 11 (1978): Sent back evidence of thunder and lightning as well as presence of carbon monoxide in lower altitude
  • Venera 12 (1978)
  • Venera 13 (1981 - 82): Returned first color images and found out the pressure was  84 times the pressure at sea level on Earth and the temperature was 457 degrees Celsius, before succumbing to them
  • Venera 14 (1981 - 82): Sent back images of Venus
  • Venera 15 (1983): Created radar map of Venus with Venera 16
  • Venera 16 (1983)
  • Pioneer Venus 1 (1978): Radar mapped nearly the entire planet, resolving features as small as 80 kilometers
  • Pioneer Venus 2 (1978): Consisted of 4 separate atmospheric probes
  • Mariner 2 (1962): Flyby attempt discovered ground temperatures as high as 428 degrees Celsius, but detected no water vapor or evidence of a magnetic field around planet
  • Mariner 5 (1967): During flyby, measured surface temperature of 267 degrees Celsius
  • Mariner 10 (1973 - 74): Took first ultraviolet images of Venus on way to Mercury
  • Akatsuki/Venus Climate Orbiter (2010 - today)

These are just some of the successful attempts by probes at or near Venus.
