Answer:

7982 seconds

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Distance of asteroid, a = 4 AU = 5.984 * 10^8 m

Mass of sun, M = 1.9891 * 10^30 kg

Orbital period, P, is given as:

P² = (4π²a³) /(GM)

Where G = 6.6774 * 10^(-11) m³/kgs²

P² = [4 * π² * (5. 984 * 10^8)³]/(6.674 * 10^(-11) * 1.9891 * 10^30)

P² = (8.459 * 10^27)/(1.328 * 10^20)

P² = 6.372 * 10^7

=> P = 7982 seconds

Find the sum of the vectors:11 km N ,11km E
vladimir1956 [14]

The resultant vector is 11√2 km due north east.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The vector is a type of quantity which has both magnitude and direction. This quantities when expressed needs to specify both magnitude and direction.

We need to calculate the magnitude and direction separately.

Here firstly for the magnitude,

The magnitudes are both 11 km and they are at right angles to each other.

So, the resultant magnitude = √(11² +11²) km

=11√2 km

Now for the direction, one vector is due north and the other is due east.

So the resultant vector is due north east.

So the final vector is 11√2 km due North-East.

Elena L [17]

Answer:

a) 0.167 μC/m^2

b) 1.887 * 10^4 V/m

Explanation:

Hello!

First let's find the surface charge density:

a)

Since thesatellite is metallic, the accumalted charge will be uniformly distribuited on its surface. Therefore the charge density σ will be:

σ = Q/A

Where A is the area of the satellite, which is:

A=4πr^2 = πd^2 = π(1.9m)^2

Therefore:

σ = (1.9)/(π (1.9)^2) μC/m^2 = 0.167 μC/m^2

Now let's calculate the electric field

b)

Just outside the surface of the satellite the elctric field will be:

E = σ/ε0

Where      ε0=8.85×10^−12 C/Vm

Therefore:

E = (0.167*10^-6 C/m^2) / (8.85*10^-12  C/Vm) = 0.01887 *10^6 V/m

E = 1.887 * 10^4 V/m

Volcanologists and seismologist are specialzed in what
antiseptic1488 [7]

The answer is:

They are specialized in geology and geophysics

1) Volcanologists are scientific researchers who study the properties of volcanoes and develop the science of predicting volcanic eruptions accurately.

- Volcanoes are the results of fissures in the earth's crust, from which magma, gases, rocks, and ashes can erupt.  


-Volcanic eruptions and their impact on the atmosphere are investigated by specialist geologists known as volcanologists.


A) Volcanologists are scientists who use a variety of sophisticated equipment to measure and analyze volcanic activity, lava, rock, ashes and gases as well as earthquakes caused by eruptions.


B) Also, they measure the magnitude and intensity of explosions, placing them on a scale from 1 to 8 [volcanic explosivity index].  


C)Volcanologists monitor both active and dormant volcanoes to try to predict eruptions and minimize adverse effects on people and their environment.


D)Also, they spend a lot of time collecting and analyzing samples of debris, rocks and other products from extinct volcanoes to gain a better understanding of the processes behind the volcanic activity and the impact former eruptions had in shaping the climate.


2) Seismologists are Earth scientists, specialized in geophysics, who study the genesis and the propagation of seismic waves in geological materials.


-Their research aims at interpreting the geological composition and structures of the Earth. In the case of earthquakes, seismologists evaluate the potential dangers and seek to minimize their impact through the improvement of construction standards.

Every football field has two 300kg field goal posts separated by 110m of football field (that includes the endzones). What is th
Mama L [17]

Answer:

4.96×10¯¹⁰ N

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass 1 (M1) = 300 Kg

Mass 2 (M2) = 300 Kg

Separating distance (r) = 110 m

Gravitational constant (G) = 6.67×10¯¹¹ Nm²/Kg²

Gravitational force (F) =?

The gravitational force between the two goal posts can be obtained as follow:

F = GM1M2 / r²

F = 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 300 × 300 / 110²

F = 6.003×10¯⁶ / 12100

F = 4.96×10¯¹⁰ N

Therefore the gravitational force between the two goal posts is 4.96×10¯¹⁰ N
