Answer:
Suppose the micrometeoroid weighed 1 g = .001 kg
Suppose also the spacecraft were moving at 18,000 mph (1.5 hrs per rev)
Usually, the smaller particle would be moving but for simplicity suppose that it were stationary wrt the ground
v = 18000 miles / hr * 1500 m/mile / 3600 sec/hr = 7500 m/s
KE = 1/2 * .001 kg * (7500 m)^2 = 28,125 Joules
One can see that 28000 Joules could be damaging amount of energy

Explanation:
The Kuiper Belt is a collection of trans-Neptunian objects that consist of comets and other dwarf planets, including Pluto.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
- In a freshwater lake
- In the atmosphere
- In Earth's mantle
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- <em><u>Convection currents are types that cause the process of convection, which the transfer of heat energy that occurs in fluids.</u></em>
- <em><u>Convection currents are circular patterns that occurs in fluids such that the less dense warm fluids rises up while denser cold fluids sinks, </u></em>it is this movement of less dense warm fluid and denser cold fluids that creates circular patterns that causes the process of convection to take place.
- <em><u>Convection currents may occur in the atmosphere where warm air rises while cold denser air sinks or moves towards the bottom, it may also occur in the mantle of the Earth and water or water bodies such as lakes.</u></em>
The freezing point is the same as the melting point.
If it freezes at -58°C, hence the melting point is also <span>-58°C.</span>
Answer:
1. The final velocity of the truck is 15 m/s
2. The distance travelled by the truck is 37.5 m
Explanation:
1. Determination of the final velocity
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
Acceleration (a) = 3 m/s²
Time (t) = 5 s
Final velocity (v) =?
The final velocity of the truck can be obtained as follow:
v = u + at
v = 0 + (3 × 5)
v = 0 + 15
v = 15 m/s
Therefore, the final velocity of the truck is 15 m/s
2. Determination of the distance travelled
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
Acceleration (a) = 3 m/s²
Time (t) = 5 s
Distance (s) =?
The distance travelled by the truck can be obtained as follow:
s = ut + ½at²
s = (0 × 5) + (½ × 3 × 5²)
s = 0 + (½ × 3 × 25)
s = 0 + 37.5
s = 37.5 m
Therefore, the distance travelled by the truck is 37.5 m
