Astronomersestimatethata2.0-km-diameterasteroidcollides with the Earth once every million years. The collision could pose a thre

at to life on Earth. (a) Assume a spherical asteroid has a mass of 3200 kg for each cubic meter of volume and moves toward the Earth at 15 km????s. How much destructive energy could be released when it embeds itself in the Earth? (b) For comparison, a nuclear bomb could release about 4.0 * 1016 J. How many such bombs would have to explode

Answer:

a) 1.6*10^21 Joules.

b) 40,000

Explanation:

part a )

maximum destructive energy that can be released is the case when all the kinetic energy of the asteroid is consumed.

therefore E = 1/2 m v^2

m= density * volume

= 3100* (4/3* pi * 1000^3 ) = 12978666666666.67 kg

given v = 16000m/s

therefore

E= 1/2 * 12978666666666.67 * 16000 * 16000

= 1.6 x 10^21 Joules!

part B)

each bomb is capable of 4 x 10^16 joules

therefore no of bombs that are needed to produce the required energy are

1.6 x 10^21 / 4 x 10^16 = 40,000

that is 40,000 such nuclear bombs are required!

The spring constant is 181.0 N/m

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by applying the law of conservation of energy. In fact, the elastic potential energy initially stored in the compressed spring is completely converted into gravitational potential energy of the dart when the dart is at its maximum height. Therefore, we can write:

\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = mgh

where the term on the left represents the elastic potential energy of the spring while the term on the right is the gravitational potential energy of the dart at maximum height, and where

k is the spring constant of the spring

x = 2.08 cm = 0.0208 m is the compression of the spring

m = 12.3 g = 0.00123 kg is the mass of the dart

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h = 3.25 m is the maximum height of the dart

Solving for k, we find:

k=\frac{2mgh}{x^2}=\frac{2(0.00123)(9.8)(3.25)}{(0.0208)^2}=181.0 N/m

A compound is discovered and its molecular weight is determined to be 526g/mol. however, one of the elements has not yet been id
AfilCa [17]

Sulphur

The missing element is sulphur

Here the compound is composed of  element X and chlorine.

it is given,

XCl (6) ----> 6Cl

mass = 13.1%

it is X and Cl = 100%-13.10%

                     = 86.90%

chlorine = 86.90            

X = 13.10

We assume 100g of sample

so according to the above solved data, in 100g of sample we have 86.90 g of chlorine.

now we split that chlorine into two moles of chlorine.

  • Every mole of sale has 35.45 grams of sales. 2.451 moles of seal are mine after that.
  • We are aware that cl is six times more than X. To find the moles of X, I must divide this number by six.
  • we discover that we have  0.4086 moles of X when we divide this by six.
  • We obtain those moles of X from 13.10 g of X.  
  • Given that Mueller masses grams per mole, I can compute the molar mass.
  • 13.10 grams of X are contained in 0.4086 moles of X.
  • Or, to put it another way, each remote has a molar mass of 32–06 grams.
  • The element with this molar mass is sulfur, as I can see from the periodic table.
  • Okay, so the element we're looking for in this situation is sulfur.

A typical helium-neon laser found in supermarket checkout scanners emits 633-nm-wavelength light in a 1.0-mm-diameter beam with
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Eo = 9.796 x 10^2 N/C

Bo = 3.266 x 10^-6 T

Explanation:

Given

Wavelength λ = 633 nm

Diameter of the beam D =  1.0 mm

Power P = 1.0 mW

Solution

Radius of the beam r = D/2 = 0.5 mm = 0.0005 m

Area of cross section

A = \pi r^{2} \\A = 3.15 \times 0.0005^{2}\\A = 7.58 \times 10^{-7}  m^{2}\\

Intensity

I = \frac{P}{A} \\I = \frac{0.001}{7.85\times 10^{-7}} \\I = 1273.885 {W}/{m^{2} }

Amplitude of Electric Field

E_{o} = \sqrt{\frac{2I}{ \epsilon_{o}c } } \\E_{o} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 1273.88}{ 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \times 3 \times 10^{8} } }\\E_{o} = 9.796 \times 10^{2}N/C

Amplitude of Magnetic Field

B_{o} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \mu_{o}I}{c } } \\B_{o} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 4 \times \pi \times 10^{-7} \times 1273.88}{  3 \times 10^{8} } }\\B_{o} = 3.266 \times 10^{-6} T
