Answer:

  t = 1.099 s

Explanation:

given,

constant speed = 2.51 m/s

height of balloon above ground = 3.16 m

time elapsed before it hit the ground = ?

Applying equation of motion to the compass

y = u t + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

-3.16 = 2.51 t + \dfrac{1}{2}\times (-9.8)t^2

4.9 t^2 - 2.51 t - 3.16 = 0

using quadratic formula to solve the equation

t = \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

t = \dfrac{-(-2.51)\pm \sqrt{2.51^2-4(4.9)(-3.16)}}{2\times 4.9}

  t = 1.099 s, -0.586 s

hence, the time elapses before the compass hit the ground is equal to 1.099 s.

A NASA satellite has just observed an asteroid that is on a collision course with the Earth. The asteroid has an estimated mass,
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

v = 7934.2 m/s

Explanation:

Here the total energy of the Asteroid and the Earth system will remains conserved

So we will have

-\frac{GMm}{r} + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = -\frac{GMm}{R} + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we know that

v_0 = 660 m/s

M = 5.98 \times 10^{24} kg

m = 5 \times 10^9 kg

r = 4 \times 10^9 m

R = 6.37 \times 10^6 m

now from above formula

GMm(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

2GM(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + v_0^2 = v^2

now plug in all data

2(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.98 \times 10^{24})(\frac{1}{6.37 \times 10^6} - \frac{1}{4 \times 10^9}) + (660)^2 = v^2

v = 7934.2 m/s

Calculate the mass (in g) of 346 cm³ of polythene. The density of polythene is 0.95 g/cm³. Give your answer to 2 decimal places.
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

M = 328.70g

Explanation:

From the given values:

V = 346 cm³

M of 1 cm³ of Polythene = 0.95g or 95/100g

Solve:

M = <u>(95×346)</u>

10

= <u>3</u><u>2</u><u>8</u><u>7</u><u>0</u>

100

M = 328.70g

Which word describes a goal that is poorly written?
stiv31 [10]

Abstract. Abstract is defined as an idea or plan but no actions are done

to pursue the idea. When setting goals, one must be certain and it should be attainable in order

to achieve the goal being set. Goals that are abstract

are often poorly written and uncertain
