Summary Introduction

Whether the average density of the terrestrial planets is found to be either greater or less than the density of Earth’s crust.

Introduction:

It is known that the average density of the Earth’s crust is 2.8 g/cm3. Eight planets present in the solar system are grouped into two categories-terrestrial and Jovian. The terrestrial planets are the inner planets, and the Jovian planets are the outer planets.

In Figure 23-29, a proton is a distance d/2 directly above the center of a square of side d. What is the magnitude of the electric flux through the square? (Hint: Think of the square as one face of a cube with edge d.)
A photon moving in the +x-direction, scatters off a free stationary electron. The wavelength of the incident photon is 0.0310 nm. After the collision, the electron moves at an angle a below the +x- axis, while the photon moves at an angle = 81.3° above the +x-axis. (For the purpose of this exercise, assume that the electron is traveling slow enough that the non-relativistic relationship between momentum and velocity can be used.) (a) What is the angle a (in degrees)? 47.21 X What is the shift in wavelength of the photon due to the scattering? How can you use momentum conservation in the horizontal and vertical directions to determine the angle? counterclockwise from the +x-axis (b) Determine the speed of the electron (h m/s). m/s
