Scientists observe an approaching asteroid that is on a collision course with

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

The approximate velocity the rocket must have to stop the asteroid completely after the collision is;

C. -324 m/s

Explanation:

The parameters of the asteroid and the rocket are;

The mass of the asteroid, m₁ = 11,000 kg

The initial velocity with which the asteroid is approaching Earth, v₁ = 50 m/s

The mass of the rocket, m₂ = 1700 kg

The initial velocity of the rocket = v₂

The final velocity of the combined asteroid and rocket after the collision, v₃ = 0 m/s

By the law of conservation of linear momentum, we have;

The total initial momentum = The total final momentum

m₁·v₁ + m₂·v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)·v₃

Substituting the known values, we get;

11,000 kg × 50 m/s + 1,700 kg × v₂ = (11,000 kg + 1,700 kg) × 0 m/s

11,000 kg × 50 m/s + 1,700 kg × v₂ = 0

∴ 1,700 kg × v₂ = -11,000 kg × 50 m/s

v₂ = (-11,000 kg × 50 m/s)/(1,700 kg) = -323.529412 m/s ≈ -324 m/s

The approximate initial velocity the jet must have to completely stop the asteroid after the collision is -324 m/s.

A 1.5m wire carries a 6 A current when a potential difference of 61 V is applied. What is the resistance of the wire?

Alisiya [41]

Resistance = (voltage) / (current)

For this piece of wire . . .

Resistance = (61 volts) / (6 Amperes)

Resistance = (61/6) (V/A)

<em>Resistance = (10 and 1/6) ohms</em>

Since you know the voltage and current, the length doesn't matter.

Meteoroids are small objects in space, usually made of rock or metal. These bodies often get close to a planet and fall through

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

1. A burning streak of light, called a Meteor.

2.The rocky bodies that survives the fall to the planet’s surface are Meteorites.

Explanation:

Let us see the difference between them.

Asteroids: They are the remnants of a broken planet orbiting the sun in between Mars and Saturn. They are small rocky bodies from a tennis ball size to larger ones weighing a few tones.
Meteoroids: They are the small rocky objects of pebble size formed due to the collision of asteroids.
Meteors: These are pebble size objects that enter Earth's atmosphere and burns off by forming streaks of light.
Meteorites: These are rocky objects bigger than meteors than don't burn out completely and fall on the earth's surface.
Comets: These are objects mainly made of dust and ice that orbit the sun in a highly elliptical orbit. This composition makes a long tail when approaching the sun.

You are presented with several wires made of the same conducting material. The radius and drift speed are given for each wire in

jekas [21]

$\begin{array}{ccc}&\text{Radius} & \text{Drift Speed}\\d) & 2 \; r &2.5 \; v\\a) & 3 \; r &1 \; v\\b) & 4 \; r &0.5 \; v\\c) & 1 \; r &5 \; v\\\end{array}$

<h3>Explanation</h3>

$I = v \cdot A \cdot n \cdot q$ ,

where

$I$ is the current;
$v$ is the drift speed;
$A$ is the cross-section area of the wire,
$n$ is the number of charge carrier per unit volume, and
$q$ is the charge on each charge carrier.

Area of a circular cross-section:

$A = \pi \cdot r^{2}$ ,

where

$r$ is the radius of the wire.

$n$ and $q$ are the same for all four samples, for they are made out of the same material.

As a result, $I$ of each wire is directly proportional to $v \cdot r^{2}$ where the value of $\pi \cdot n \cdot q$ is constant.

For each of the four wires:

$\begin{array}{ccc|c}\\& r & v &I \propto v\cdot r^{2}\\a) & 3 & 1 & 9\\b) & 4 & 0.5 & 8\\c) & 1 & 5 & 5\\d) & 2 & 2.5 & 10\\\end{array}$ .

How do the four wires rank by their current?

d > a > b > c.

Describe the formation of the land, the atmosphere, and the oceans of earth

Firlakuza [10]

Land: Tectonic plate movement under the Earth can create landforms by pushing up mountains and hills. Erosion by water and wind can wear down land and create landforms like valleys and canyons. ... Landforms can exist under water in the form of mountain ranges and basins under the sea.

Atmosphere: (4.6 billion years ago)
As Earth cooled, an atmosphere formed mainly from gases spewed from volcanoes. It included hydrogen sulfide, methane, and ten to 200 times as much carbon dioxide as today's atmosphere. After about half a billion years, Earth's surface cooled and solidified enough for water to collect on it.

Ocean: After the Earth's surface had cooled to a temperature below the boiling point of water, rain began to fall—and continued to fall for centuries. As the water drained into the great hollows in the Earth's surface, the primeval ocean came into existence. The forces of gravity prevented the water from leaving the planet.
