An astronaut in a spacecraft looks out the window and sees an asteroid move past in a backwards direction at 68 m/s relative to

the spacecraft. If the velocity of the spacecraft is 126 m/s relative to the position of the sun, what is the velocity of the asteroid relative to the sun?
194 m/s
−194 m/s
58 m/s
−58 m/s

Answer:

-194 m/s

Explanation:

We are taking as a reference point the position of the sun

In this case,

The spacecraft is moving with a velocity of  +126 m/s

The asteroid is moving  past in a backwards direction at 68 m/s relative to the spacecraft.

Speed of the asteroid -  speed of the spacecraft =  68m/s

Speed of the asteroid =  68 m/s + 126 m/s

Speed of the asteroid =  194 m/s (backwards)

Beacuse the asteroid is moving in the opposite direction of the spacecraft

The asteroid has a velocity of -194m/s relative to the position of the Sun

natita [175]

Answer:

3.258 m/s

Explanation:

k = Spring constant = 263 N/m (Assumed, as it is not given)

x = Displacement of spring = 0.7 m (Assumed, as it is not given)

\mu = Coefficient of friction = 0.4

Energy stored in spring is given by

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 263\times 0.7^2\\\Rightarrow U=64.435\ J

As the energy in the system is conserved we have

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=U-\mu mgx\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\dfrac{U-\mu mgx}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\dfrac{64.435-0.4\times 8\times 9.81\times 0.7}{8}}\\\Rightarrow v=3.258\ m/s

The speed of the 8 kg block just before collision is 3.258 m/s

I believe the answer would be polygenic. The word translates to "multiple genes". This occurs when many genes make up one specific thing such as our hair color or eye color.
