Answer:The asteroid's average (semimajor axis) distance from the Sun is 1AU.

Explanation: Asteroids are known as small objects which have rocky appearance that orbit the Sun as the planets do, although Asteroids are smaller than the size of planets. An Asteroid that orbit the Sun with the same orbital period like the Earth will have the same semi-major distance like the Earth will have which is One Astronomical Unit(the unit of measurement of the distance between the Sun and the Orbiting Asteroids or Planets), 1 ASTRONOMICAL UNIT =

149597871 KILOMETRES.

A ball is dropped from rest and falls to the floor. The initial gravitational potential energy of the ball-Earth-floor system is
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The mechanical energy of the ball-Earth-floor system the instant the ball left the floor is 7 Joules.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial gravitational potential energy of the ball-Earth-floor system is 10 J.

The ball then bounces back up to a height where the gravitational potential energy is 7 J.

Let U is the mechanical energy of the ball-Earth-floor system the instant the ball left the floor. Due to the conservation of energy, the mechanical energy is equal to difference between initial gravitational potential energy and the after bouncing back up to a height.

Initial mechanical energy is 10 + 0 = 10 J

Mechanical energy just before the collision is 0 + 10 = 10 J

Final mechanical energy, 7 + 0 = 7 J

Hence, the mechanical energy of the ball-Earth-floor system the instant the ball left the floor is 7 Joules.

Why e=mc2?why not e=mc3?
Softa [21]
For starters, this question isn’t really about relativity. It’s about energy, and E=mc^2 only makes sense if energy has the units of (mass)*(velocity)^2. So we might as well ask: why is kinetic energy defined as KE = ½*mv^2?

Charge is moving through a wire. An amount of charge Q moves past a particular spot in the wire in an amount of time t to produc
Blababa [14]

We will apply the concept related to the current change given in the same problem. We will divide both currents into two states: the new current and the old current. As the current is the change of the load in a certain time, we will have that the old current is,

I_{old} = \frac{dq}{dt}

If it takes 5 times more time, then we will have the new current is,

I_{new} = \frac{dq}{5dt}

I_{new} = \frac{1}{5}(\frac{dq}{dt})

Replacing the given value of the old current we will have to,

I_{new} = \frac{I_{old}}{5}

Therefore the new current will be \frac{1}{5} the old current.

At a certain elevation, the ________ , the air becomes saturated and water-vapor molecules ________.
andriy [413]

At certain altitude, the temperature of air decrease, The air becomes saturated and water vapour molecules starts condensing.


As the altitude of air increase, the atmospheric pressure decrease due to which the temperature of the air decrease. The water molecules in the atmosphere start condensing, which saturate the air (that is air can no hold water molecules), due to which the water vapour molecules starts condensing and falls on the earth in the form of rain.
