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

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!

Be sure to answer all parts. Assume the diameter of a neutral helium atom is 1.40 × 102 pm. Suppose that we could line up helium
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The number of atoms are 1.86\times10^{8}.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter D = 1.40\times10^{2}\ pm

D=1.40\times10^{2}\times10^{-12}\ m

Distance = 2.60 cm

We calculate the number of atoms

Using formula of numbers of atoms

Number\ of\ atoms =\dfrac{2.60\times10^{-2}}{1.40\times10^{2}\times10^{-12}}

Number\of\atoms =1.86\times10^{8}

Hence, The number of atoms are 1.86\times10^{8}.

Each of the space shuttle's main engines is fed liquid hydrogen bya high-pressure pump. Turbine blades inside the pump rotateat
kvasek [131]

Answer:

a) a= \frac{4 \pi^2 (0.02 m)^2}{0.00162 s}=9.74 \frac{m}{s^2}

b) k = \frac{9.8}{9.74}=1.006

Explanation:

Part a

For this case we can begin finding the period like this:

T= \frac{1}{w} =\frac{1}{617 rad/s}=0.00162 s

Then we know that the centripetal acceleration is given by:

a= \frac{v^2}{r}

And the velocity is given by:

v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}

If we replace this into the acceleration we got:

a = \frac{(\frac{2\pi r}{T})^2}{r}= \frac{4 \pi^2 r}{T^2}

And we can replace the values and we got:

a= \frac{4 \pi^2 (0.02 m)^2}{0.00162 s}=9.74 \frac{m}{s^2}

Part b

For this case we want to find a value of k such that:

a= k 9.8

Where a = 9.74, so then we can solve for k like this:

k = \frac{9.8}{9.74}=1.006
