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?

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 .

If the mass of the sun is 1x, at least one planet will fall into the habitable zone if I place a planet in orbits___, ____, ____
Minchanka [31]

If the mass of the sun is 1x, at least one planet will fall into the habitable zone. if I place a planet in orbits 1, 3, 5 , 6 and all planets will orbit the sun successfully.

<h3>
What are planets?</h3>

Planets are the large spherical shaped objects that rotate about the Sun in the elliptical orbits.

Planets are shaped from Planetary cloud. The dust storm and gases gathers under its own weight. The dense matter beginnings pivoting at high paces and accumulates more mass. The center structures, the star and rest of it ultimately levels into a curved plate from which planet is formed.

Thus,  if I place a planet in orbits 1, 3, 5 , 6 and all planets will orbit the sun successfully.

Which statement correctly explains scientific theories?
Elan Coil [88]
<span>Scientific theories are tested and proven over time; they are then considered scientific laws.

Sometimes however, they are proven wrong, and so they do not become laws

……………………………………………………………..?
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

First find the electrical wattage

W = I^2 * R

R = 12 ohms

I = 2 amps

Wattage = 2^2 * 12

Wattage = 4* 12

Wattage = 48 watts.

Now you need to use the power formula

Work = Power * Time

Work = ?

Power = 48 watts

Time = 3 minutes = 3 * 60 = 180 seconds.

Work = 48 * 180

Work = 8640 J

That's C
