A distant large asteroid is detected that might pose a threat to Earth. If it were to continue moving in a straight line at cons
Vlada [557]

Answer:

The minimum speed required is 5.7395km/s.

Explanation:

To escape earth, the kinetic energy of the asteroid must be greater or equal to its gravitational potential energy:

K.E\geq P.E

or

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 \geq  G\dfrac{Mm}{R}

where m is the mass of the asteroid, R= 24,000,000\:m is its distance form earth's center, M = 5.9*10^{24}kg is the mass of the earth, and G = 6.7*10^{-11}m^3/kg\: s^2 is the gravitational constant.

Solving for v we get:

v \geq \sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R} }

putting in numerical values gives

v \geq \sqrt{\dfrac{2(6.7*10^{-11})(5.9*10^{24})}{(24,000,000)} }

\boxed{v\geq 5739.5m/s}

in kilometers this is

v\geq5.7395m/s.

Hence, the minimum speed required is 5.7395km/s.

If a soap bubble is 115 nm thick, what wavelength is most strongly reflected at the center of the outer surface when illuminated
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

611.8 nm

Explanation:

n_{oil} = Index of refraction of soap bubble  = 1.33

t = thickness of the soap bubble = 115 nm = 115 x 10⁻⁹ m

\lambda = wavelength of light = ?

m = order = 0

For reflection , the necessary condition is

2 n_{oil} t = (m + 0.5) \lambda

2 (1.33)(115\times 10^{-9})= (0 + 0.5) \lambda

\lambda = 6.118\times 10^{-7}

\lambda = 611.8 nm

Use pythagorean's theorem for this, with 7 as a and 5 as b. pythagorean's theorem says that a^2 + b^2 = c^2, so 7^2 * 5^2 = c^2. this gives you 49 + 25 = c^2, so 74 = c^2. c = sqrt 74, which is approximately 8.60 km
