The solar wind consists of protons from the Sun moving toward Earth (the wind actually consists of about 95% protons). The number density of protons at a distance from the Sun equal to the orbital radius of Earth is about 7.0 protons per cubic centimeter. Your research team monitors a satellite that is in orbit around the Sun at a distance from the Sun equal to Earth's orbital radius. You are in charge of the satellite's mass spectrometer, an instrument used to measure the composition and intensity of the solar wind. The aperture of your spectrometer is a circle of radius 28.4 cm. The rate of collection of protons by the spectrometer is such that they constitute a measured current of 91.0 nA. What is the speed of the protons in the solar wind

The freezing and boiling point of a substance changes as the air pressure around it changes. for example, at a lower air pressure (higher altitude) it is easier for water molecules to escape from liquid into the air. in a high altitude city such as denver, colorado compared to a sea-level city such as houston, texas, water
