Discover the current density of these protons

Reference no: EM13683121

Near Earth, the density of protons in the solar wind (a stream of particles from the Sun) is 8.70 cm^-3, and their speed is 470 km/s. (a) Discover the current density of these protons. (b) If Earth's magnetic field did not deflect the protons, what total current would Earth receive?

How do they contribute to the goal of the motion : Observe the trajectory of a ball thrown into the air with a goal of distance and caught at the same height from which it was tossed. What biomechanical principles do you observe and how do they contribute to the goal of the motion?

How would they contribute to the goal of the motion : Imagine the trajectory of a ball thrown (shot) into the air with a goal of accuracy (scoring points) and “caught” at the height higher from which it was tossed (as in basketball). Which biomechanical principles would be best applied, how would they c..
