Answer:

v = -10⁵ m/s

Explanation:

given,

speed of asteroid,v' = 100 m/s

mass of superman = m

mass of asteroid,M = 1000 m

recoil velocity of superman,v= ?

using conservation of momentum.

m u + M u' = m v + M v'

initial velocity of asteroid and superman is equal to  zero

 0 + 0 = m v + 1000 m x 100

m v = -100000 m

    v = -10⁵ m/s

superman's velocity after throwing the asteroid is equal to v = -10⁵ m/s

The most common units for expressing the density of a substance are the g/cm3.
Luden [163]
True.

Density = mass / volume,  Unit = g / cm³.

This is a common unit because of its affiliation with the SI unit and because that also our popular liquid which is water = 1 g/cm³

How do sea surface temperatures affect evaporation rate?
kotegsom [21]
<span>Answer: The temperature doesn't affect the evaporation rate, but affects on how much of water a parcel of air can contain when saturated which is known by the absolute humidity. Hurricanes are usually happening when the temperature of the sea water west of the Cape Verde islands is over 27 degrees Celsius. If ahead of the path of a hurricane, the sea water temperature drops then it will be less moisture in the air and perhaps the hurricane will fade out. But it is not as simple. How strong a tropical storm is is relative to the difference of temperture between ground level and the top of the troposphere. The greater the difference, the faster the air will rise and the deeper the pressure will be, forcing surrounding air to rush in, thus forming a hurricane force wind. Then there is the fact that the wet adiabatic lapse rate is about half that of dry air. It means that rising moist air cools down slower and therefore rises higher. Hence water is the true fuel of bad weather. But it can't be isolated from the fact that the difference of temperature must be great too. What we often forget is that the tropopause (the border to the stratosphere) is much higher over the equator and therefore, much colder than e.g. the poles.</span>

How do prokaryotic cells replicate?
Alika [10]

Answer:

The usual method of prokaryote cell division is termed binary fission. The prokaryotic chromosome is a single DNA molecule that first replicates, then attaches each copy to a different part of the cell membrane. When the cell begins to pull apart, the replicate and original chromosomes are separated.

An airplane starts from rest at the end of a runway and accelerates at a constant rate. In the first second, the airplane travel
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

v=4.44\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Given that the airplane starts from the rest (this is initial velocity equals to zero)  and accelerates at a constant rate, position can be described like this: x=v_{0}t +\frac{1}{2} at^{2} where x is the position, t is the time a is the acceleration and v_{0} is initial velocity. In this way acceleration can be found. a=\frac{2(x-v_{0}t) }{t^{2} } =\frac{2(1.11m-0)}{1s^{2} } =2.22\frac{m}{s^{2} }.

Now we are able to found velocity at any time with the formula: v=v_{0} +at = 0\frac{m}{s} +(2.22\frac{m}{s^{2}}.2s)=4.44\frac{m}{s}
