Why do you think that some asteroids tumble end over end through space while other asteroids rotate around their axis?

Physics

Imagine a lonely asteroid there in space, untouched, not rotating, just still. Then another asteroid passes by and comes into contact with that first asteroid. Upon collision, based on the conservation of elastic momentum, the asteroid that was once still moves; it may even spin if the incoming asteroid hit it at its side. Now asteroids have three angles or rotation (three dimensions): θ (theta - to the x-axis), φ (phi - to the y-axis), and let's say ψ (psi - to the z-axis). So these asteroids wobble through space, spinning like crazy.

I may have gone too in depth. Sorry, lol.
I hope this helped!

How many significant digits are in the number 204.0920<br>​
monitta

Answer:

Seven

Explanation:

The rules for significant digits are:

  • Non-zero digits are always significant.
  • Zeros between significant digits are also significant.
  • Trailing zeros are significant only after a decimal point.

Here, the 2, 4, 9, and 2 are significant because they are non-zero digits.

The first two 0s are significant because they are between significant digits.

The last 0 is significant because it is a trailing zero after a decimal point.

Therefore, all seven digits are significant.

Starting from your campsite you walk 3.0 km east, 6.0 km north, 1.0 km east, and then 4.0 km west. How far are you from your cam
Hatshy [7]
Think of it like a graph. You start at the origin which is (0,0).  go three to the east which now you are (3,0). Then, six to the north. Now, you are at (3,6).  1 to the east, ((4,6).  Then you go 4 to the west which is back tracking. So, you end at (0,6) which is saying you are now 6 km north from your campsite. 

Hope this helps!
