Answer:
Momentum, p = 23250 kg m/s
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of a car, m = 1550 kg
Speed pf car, v = 15 m/s
We need to find the momentum of the car. The formula for the momentum of an object is given by :
p = mv
Substituting all the values in the above formula
p = 1550 kg × 15 m/s
p = 23250 kg m/s
So, the momentum of the car is 23250 kg m/s.
Answer:
The total amount of energy that would have been released if the asteroid hit earth = The kinetic energy of the asteroid = 1.29 × 10¹⁵ J = 1.29 PetaJoules = 1.29 PJ
1 PJ = 10¹⁵ J
Explanation:
Kinetic energy = mv²/2
velocity of the asteroid is given as 7.8 km/s = 7800 m/s
To obtain the mass, we get it from the specific gravity and diameter information given.
Density = specific gravity × 1000 = 3 × 1000 = 3000 kg/m³
But density = mass/volume
So, mass = density × volume.
Taking the informed assumption that the asteroid is a sphere,
Volume = 4πr³/3
Diameter = 30 m, r = D/2 = 15 m
Volume = 4π(15)³/3 = 14137.2 m³
Mass of the asteroid = density × volume = 3000 × 14137.2 = 42411501 kg = 4.24 × 10⁷ kg
Kinetic energy of the asteroid = mv²/2 = (4.24 × 10⁷)(7800²)/2 = 1.29 × 10¹⁵ J
1. Earth's moon has no atmosphere because the moon's gravity is too weak to hold onto gas molecules.
2. On the moon, maria are low flat plains. The word maria comes from the Latin word mare, which means sea.
