Answer:

A, B and D

Explanation:

The continental crust contains igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Along convergent plate boundaries, the continental crust gets renewed with igneous rock providing more rock to be made into sedimentary rock. The sedimentary rock can then continue to sink into the crust becoming metamorphic. Due to this variety of types of rock, the minerals can be diverse, including sodium, potassium, aluminium and calcium. Continental crust is also much thicker, up to 70km.

Asteroid A has a mass of 7.80×1020 kilograms (kg), and asteroid B has a mass of 3.70×1018 kg. Assuming that the same force was a

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The ratio of asteroid-A’s acceleration to asteroid-B’s acceleration is 37:7800.

Explanation:

Mass of asteroid-A = m = $7.80\times 10^{20} kg$

Mass of asteroid-B = m' = $3.70\times 10^{18} kg$

As we know , Force = mass × Acceleration

1) Force on an asteroid-A

$F = m\times a$

where , a is the acceleration due to force applied on asteroid-A

2) Force on an asteroid-B

$F' = m'\times a'$

where , a' is the acceleration due to the force applied on asteroid-B

Same force is exerted on the both the asteroids say F.

F = F'

$m\times a=m'\times a'$

$\frac{a}{a'}=\frac{3.70\times 10^{18} kg}{7.80\times 10^{20} kg}=\frac{37}{7800}$

The ratio of asteroid-A’s acceleration to asteroid-B’s acceleration is 37:7800.
