Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

Asteroids are the rocky materials that are present abundantly in an orbit between the planet Mars and Jupiter. This is known as the asteroid belt, which is comprised of millions of asteroids that move around the sun. They are of various sizes ranging from a few meters to about hundreds of kilometers, which can cause mass extinction if strikes on the surface of the earth. They move at a speed of about 80,000 km/hr and during this motion, frequent collision takes place and they are considered to be the remnant of the early solar system.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Total momentum before collision

P1 =.4 * 3.5 = 1.4       ignoring units here

Total momentum after collision

P2 = .6 * V - .4 * .7 = .6 V - .28

.6 V = 1.4 + .28   momentum before = momentum after

V = 2.8 cm/sec

In 5 sec V moves 2.8 cm/sec * 5 sec = 14 cm

Sound waves travel at the rate of 343 m/s at 20°C. If a man standing 450 meters away from the wall of a canyon yells, “Hello,” h
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

2.62seconds

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the ratio of the distance covered by a body with respect to time.

Speed v = Distance (s)/Time (t)

For a traveling sound wave, the distance between the source of a sound and the reflector is '2S'.

Speed v = 2 × distance (S)/Time (T)

V = 2S/t

2S = vt

Given speed of the wave = 342m/s

Distance covered = 450m

t = 2S/v

t = (2×450)/343

t = 900/343

t = 2.62seconds

It will take him 2.62seconds for him to hear his own voice echo off of the wall.

A fish scale, consisting of a spring with spring constant k=200N/m, is hung vertically from the ceiling. A 2.6 kg fish is attach
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

The fish is initially at rest and it is also at rest when the spring is fully stretched at the maximum distance.

Change in gravity potential energy = change in spring potential energy

mgh = 1/2kh^2

Assume gravity constant g is 10m/s^2

2.6*10*h = 1/2*200*h^2

100h^2 - 26h = 0

2h(50h - 13) = 0

h = 0 or h = 13/50 = 0.65m

h = 0 is before the spring is stretched

So the maximum distance is 0.65m.
