Astronomers estimate that a 2.0 km diameter asteroid collides with the Earth once every million years. The collision could pose

a threat to life on Earth. Assume a spherical asteroid has a mass of 3020 kg for each cubic meter of volume and moves toward the Earth at 13.3 km/s. How much destructive energy could be released when it embeds itself in the earth?

The energy that will be released will be 8.95×10^(21) Joules
for comparison, the Nagasaki atom bomb released 8.8*10^(13) Joules
so this meteorite is (8.95×10^(21))/(8.8*10^(13))=100×10^6 (100 million) times more destructive

Two balloons are charged with an identical quantity and type of charge: -6.25 nanoCoulombs (10-9). They are held apart at a sepa
xenn [34]

Answer:

force between both the balloons is 9.23\times 10^{-7}N  

Explanation:

It is given charge on both balloons are same and equal to q=-6.25\times 10^{-9}C

Separation between both the balloons r=61.7cm=0.617m

According to Coulomb's law force between two charges is given by

F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{q^2}{r^2}=\frac{Kq^2}{r^2}

Therefore force is equal to

F=\frac{9\times 10^9\times (-6.25\times 10^{-9})^2}{0.617^2}

F=9.23\times 10^{-7}N

So force between both the balloons is 9.23\times 10^{-7}N

In which process will the internal energy of the system NOT change? a. An adiabatic expansion of an ideal gas.
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

B. An isothermal compression of an ideal gas.

Explanation:

The internal energy of an ideal gas is just function of the temperature; it does not matter what other thermodynamic property changes, if the temperature does not change, the internal energy neither does. That is just for ideal gases; real gases behaviour is not like that. All of the other options bring with them an increase or decrease of the temperature:

For A, the temperature will decrease because the gas will do work as it expands, converting part of his internal energy to work.

For C, the temperature will increase, because given PV=nRT, if the volume increases (expansion) and the pressure is constant, the temperature must increase to satisfy the equation.

The index of refraction of silicate flint glass for red light is 1.620 and for violet light is 1.660 . A beam of white light in
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The angular separation between the red and violet components of the spectrum that emerges from the glass is 1.72°

Explanation:

Given:

Refractive index for red light n _{1} = 1.620

Refractive index for violet n' _{1} = 1.660

Refractive index for air n_{2} = 1

Incident angle \theta _{1} = 28.30°

According to the snell's law,

    n_{1} \sin \theta _{1} = n_{2}   \sin \theta _{2}

For red light,

  1.620 \times \sin 28.30 = 1 \sin \theta _{2}

Where \theta _{2} = transmitted angle for red light

   \theta _{2} = 50.18°

For violet light,

  1.660 \times \sin 28.30 = 1 \sin \theta' _{2}

Where \theta' _{2} = transmitted angle for violet light

   \theta' _{2} = 51.9°

Angular separation between red and violet light is given by,

  \theta ' _{2} - \theta _{2} = 51.9 -50.18 = 1.72°

Therefore, the angular separation between the red and violet components of the spectrum that emerges from the glass is 1.72°
