Answer:

Today, to benefit humankind, radiation is used in medicine, academics, and industry, as well as for generating electricity. In addition, radiation has useful applications in such areas as agriculture, archaeology (carbon dating), space exploration, law enforcement, geology (including mining), and many others.

(a) A physicist performing a sensitive measurement wants to limit the magnetic force on a moving charge in her equipment to less
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

q = 7.4 10⁻¹⁰ C

Explanation:

a) The magnetic force is given by the expression

        F = q v x B

Where the blacks indicate vectors, q is the electric charge, v at particle velocity and B the magnitude of the magnetic field. If the velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field, the sine is 1

      F = q v B

Let's calculate the charge

      q = F / vB

      q = 1.00 10⁻¹² / 30.0 B

For the magnetic field of the earth we have a value between 25μT and 65μT, an intermediate value would be 45 μT, let's use this value.

     q = 1 10⁻¹² / (30 45 10⁻⁶)

    q = 7.4 10⁻¹⁰ C

b) In laboratories and modern electronics, currents of up to 1 10⁻⁶ A can be achieved without much difficulty, in advanced and research laboratories currents of up to 1 10⁻¹² can be managed. Load values ​​(coulomb) cannot they are widely used today for work, but 1 mA = 3.6C, so we see that getting loads with the value of 10⁻¹⁰ C implies very small current less than 1 10⁻¹³ A, which only in laboratories of Very specialized can be created. Consequently, from the above it would be difficult to find loads lower than the calculated

The electrostatic charge is the one created by the friction between two surfaces, it is an indicated charge, in this case it would be possible to have better wing loads found from 10⁻¹⁰C

A spring with a pointer attached is hanging next to a scale marked in millimeters. Three different packages are hung from the sp
SOVA2 [1]

solution;

the expression for force applied on the spring due to the load is\\f=k\Delta x\\here,\Delta x is the extension in the spring due to appling force\\given three case as following\\110N=k(40-x_{o})----------1\\240N=k(60-x_{o})----------2\\w=k(30-x_{o})-------------3\\To calculate the accrual length of the spring,solve th equation 1 and 2\\\frac{110N}{240N}=\frac{k(40-x_{o})}{k(60-x_{o})}\\0.458=\frac{k(40-x_{o})}{k(60-x_{o})}\\0.458(60mm-x_{o})=(40mm-x_{o})\\x_{o}(1-0.458)=(40-60(0.458))mm\\x_{o}\frac{12.52}{0.542}\\=23.1mm\\to calculate the force on the spring in case,\\solve the equation 1 and 2\\\frac{110}{w}=\frac{k(40-x_{o})}{k(60-x_{o})}\\\frac{110}{w}=\frac{(40mm-23.1mm)}{30mm-23.1mm}\\w=\frac{110}{2.45}=44.9N

Given all the positive characteristics of Venus, why has space exploration focused so much on Mars?
Zielflug [23.3K]

The reason space exploration focused more on Mars than Venus with all the advantages, Venus still has a huge disadvantage, which is that the super hot is there and we can actually land on Venus without exploding.
