Reference no: EM13700015

Question: The Earth is constantly being bombarded by cosmic rays, which consist mostly of protons. Assume that these protons are incident on the Earth's atmosphere from all directions at a rate of 1383 protons per square meter per second. Assuming that the depth of Earth's atmosphere is 120.0 km,

Part A: What is the total charge incident on the atmosphere in 341.0 s? Assume that the radius of the surface of the Earth is 6378. km.

I've been having quite a bit of trouble understanding this question, Thank you so much for your help. Thanks.
