On April 13, 2029 (Friday the 13th!), the asteroid 99942 mi Apophis will pass within 18600 mi of the earth-about 1/13 the distan

ce to the moon! It has a density of 2600 kg/m^3, can be modeled as a sphere 320 m in diameter, and will be traveling at 12.6 km/s.
1)If, due to a small disturbance in its orbit, the asteroid were to hit the earth, how much kinetic energy would it deliver?

2)The largest nuclear bomb ever tested by the United States was the "Castle/Bravo" bomb, having a yield of 15 megatons of TNT. (A megaton of TNT releases 4.184x10^15 J of energy.) How many Castle/Bravo bombs would be equivalent to the energy of Apophis?

4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of asteroid = 4/3 x π x 160³

= 17.15 x 10⁶

mass = volume x density

= 17.15 x 10⁶ x 2600

= 445.9 x 10⁸ kg

kinetic energy

= 1/2 x 445.9 x 10⁸  x( 12.6 )² x 10⁶

= 35.4 x 10¹⁷ J .

2 )

energy of 15 megaton

= 4.184 x 10¹⁵ x 15 J

= 62.76 x 10¹⁵ J

No of bombs required

= 35.4 x 10¹⁷ / 62.76 x 10¹⁵

= 56.4 Bombs .

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy = 0.5(Mass)(Velocity2)

Kinetic energy= 0.5 × 10kg × (50m/s)2

Kinetic Energy = 5kg × 2500m/s

Kinetic energy = 125000 J ( Ans)

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

In most materials, as heat energy is absorbed, the density decreases. IF a certain object is heated, it might appear bigger than usual because it expands as the molecules inside moves faster than usual. However the mass of it stays the same while the density decreases.

An inductor is connected across an ac source. suppose the frequency of the source is doubled. what happens to the inductive reac
MaRussiya [10]
<span>If an inductor is connected across an ac source and suppose the frequency of the source is doubled, then t</span>he inductive reactance of the inductor is also doubled. The inductive reactance (XL) is the t<span>he opposition to current flowing through a coil in an AC circuit, the </span>impedance measured in Ohms and can be calculated with the following formula:
XL=2*pi*f*L,
where f is the frequency. So, if the frequency is doubled than also the inductive reactance is doubled.
