An asteroid with a mass of 5.0 x 105 kg collides with the Earth and slides horizontally along the ground without bouncing (not a

ctually possible but just pretend). The velocity of the asteroid before impact is 1.1 x 104 m/s and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the asteroid and the Earth is 1.80.
How much energy is lost due to friction between the asteroid and the Earth after the asteroid has come to rest?

The strength of the friction doesn't matter. Neither does the distance or the time the asteroid takes to stop. All that matters is that the asteroid has

1/2 (mass) (speed squared)

of kinetic energy when it lands, and zero when it stops.
So

1/2 (mass) (original speed squared)

is the energy it loses to friction in order to come to rest.

Explain the correspondence that lets us easily translate between linear motion and rotational motion. What are the linear analog
RideAnS [48]

Explanation:

The linear analog of angle is angle itself.

The linear analog of angular velocity is linear velocity.

ω is angular velocity, therefore linear velocity is given by v

∴ for linear velocity, v^{2} = u^{2}+2.a.S

   for angular velocity, \omega_{f}^{2}  = \omega _{i}^{2}+2.a.S

The linear analog of angular acceleration is acceleration.

α is angular acceleration whereas as a is linear acceleration.

∴ for linear acceleration, v = u + a.t

  for angular acceleration, \omega_{f}= \omega _{i}+\alpha .t

The linear analog of moment of inertia is mass.

I is moment of inertia and m is mass,

∴ for linear analog, F = m.a

  for angular analog, τ - I.α

2CO + 2NO → 2CO2 + N2 is it balannced
natita [175]

If the same atoms appear on both sides, then it's balanced.

In this reaction, there are 4 Oxygens, 2 Carbons, and 2 Nitrogens on each side.  So numerically, <em>it's balanced</em>.  But I don't know enough chemistry to say whether the reaction is possible.
