Answer:

Peaks

Explanation:

- A transverse wave is a wave in which the oscillation occurs in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave

- A longitudinal wave is a wave in which the oscillation occurs in a direction parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave

In a transverse wave, the highest and the lowest points of the wave are determined by the presence of crests (peaks) and troughs. On the contrary, in a longitudinal wave, the wave consists of alternating regions of higher particle density (called compressions) and of lower particle density (called rarefactions).

Therefore, the correct answer is

peaks

A NASA satellite has just observed an asteroid that is on a collision course with the Earth. The asteroid has an estimated mass,

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

v = 7934.2 m/s

Explanation:

Here the total energy of the Asteroid and the Earth system will remains conserved

So we will have

$-\frac{GMm}{r} + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = -\frac{GMm}{R} + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

now we know that

$v_0 = 660 m/s$

$M = 5.98 \times 10^{24} kg$

$m = 5 \times 10^9 kg$

$r = 4 \times 10^9 m$

$R = 6.37 \times 10^6 m$

now from above formula

$GMm(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

now we have

$2GM(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + v_0^2 = v^2$

now plug in all data

$2(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.98 \times 10^{24})(\frac{1}{6.37 \times 10^6} - \frac{1}{4 \times 10^9}) + (660)^2 = v^2$

$v = 7934.2 m/s$

All of the outer planets are much larger than the inner planets true or false

Rama09 [41]

That statement is false because yes Jupiter and Saturn are large, however, planets like Uranus and Neptune are quite small if not smaller than some of the inner planets.
