A) 8.11 m/s
For a satellite orbiting around an asteroid, the centripetal force is provided by the gravitational attraction between the satellite and the asteroid:
where
m is the satellite's mass
v is the speed
R is the radius of the asteroide
h is the altitude of the satellite
G is the gravitational constant
M is the mass of the asteroid
Solving the equation for v, we find
where:
Substituting into the formula,
B) 11.47 m/s
The escape speed of an object from the surface of a planet/asteroid is given by
where:
Substituting into the formula, we find:
Answer:
TRUE
Explanation:
Desertification is usually defined as the process by which a productive land is transformed into a desert. This process occurs mainly in the arid, semi-arid as well as in the dry sub-humid areas, where there occurs less amount of rainfall and presence of less or no moisture content in the air.
It is caused by various processes, such as-
- Cutting down of trees, in order to make urban areas.
- Low level of groundwater.
- Forest-fire can also lead to desertification, as the trees are burned by this process.
- Soil erosion also is a major cause.
- It also occurs due to changes that occur in the climate of the area.
Thus, the above-given statement is true.
Acceleration = change in velocity/time
By F = ma,
6 = 33 x change in velocity / 9
change in velocity = +1.636 m/s
Answer:
(D) friction from the ground changes the ball's
kinetic energy into heat
Explanation:
When a ball is roll on the ground, the electrons in the atoms on the surface of the ground push against the electrons in the atoms on the surface of your ball that is touching the ground. A rolling ball stops because the surface on which it rolls resists its motion,that is when two surfaces come in contact with each other, the surface of one tends to oppose the motion of the other. A rolling ball stops because of friction.
