A) 100 kg
B) 6,250 kg
C) 10,000 kg
D) 6,250,000 kg

Before the launch, the momentum of the (spacecraft + asteroid) was zero.  So after the launch, the momentum of the (spacecraft + asteroid) has to be zero.

Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)

Momentum after the launch:

Spacecraft:  (1,000 kg) x (250 m/s) = 250,000 kg-m/s

Asteroid: (mass) x (-25 m/s)

Their sum:  250,000 - 25(mass) .

Their sum must be zero, so  250,000 kg-m/s = (25 m/s) x (mass)

Divide each side by  25 :  10,000 kg-m/s = (1 m/s) x (mass)

Divide each side by (1 m/s) :  10,000 kg = mass

A word that means to squeeze a gas in to a smaller place
Leona [35]
I think the best word here would be compress. It is to compress that is defined as to squeeze a gas into a smaller space. Compression is the reduction of volume which cause an increase in pressure of the gas. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

The purpose of this lab is to explore the various ways to calculate projectile velocity using horizontal, vertical and angle inf
kolezko [41]

Answer: A projectile is any object in which the only force is gravity

Explanation: Equations on how to calculate projectile velocity is stated below:

The initial velocity Vo being a vector quantity, has two componentsVox and Voy  

V0x = V0 cos(θ) 

V0y = V0 sin(θ) 

The acceleration A is a also a vector with two components Axand Ay given

Ax = 0 and Ay = - g = - 9.8 m/s2 

Along the x axis the acceleration is equal to 0 and therefore the velocity Vx is constant  

Vx = Vocos(θ) 

Along the y axis, the acceleration is uniform and equal to - g and the velocity at time t is g

Vy = Vo sin(θ) - g t 

Along the x axis the velocity Vx is constant and therefore the component x of the displacement is

x = Vocos(θ) t 

Along the y axis, the motion is of uniform acceleration and the y component of the displacement is

y = Vo sin(θ) t - (1/2) g t2
