What is the largest meteoroid that has collided with this planet

1 answer:

6 0

Chicxulub. It's the most famous cataclysm ever, the meteorite that probably snuffed out the dinosaurs (along with three-quarters of all life on Earth) when it smashed into our planet 65 million years ago. The crater it left behind is actually one of the youngest and most accessible in the solar system.

the force of attraction between two masses is 3.60 Newtons if one of the masses is tripled and the distance between the masses i

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer: F = 19.2 N

Explanation: Given that the initial Force = 3.6N

The formula involved is

F = GMm/r^2

Substitute the force F

3.6 = GMm/r^2

If one of the masses is tripled and the distance between the masses is quadrupled. We have

3.6 = (G × 3Mm)/(4r)^2

Where G will be constant.

3.6 = 3GMm/16r^2

Separate the fraction of number

3.6 = 3/16 × GMm/r^2

Make GMm/r^2 the subject of formula

(3.6 × 16)/3 = GMm/r^2

19.2 = GMm/r^2

Therefore, the new force of attraction is 19.2 N

The work input = _____. Fi × di Fi ÷ di Fo × do Fo ÷ do

lesya692 [45]

I believe the work input= Fi × di. Work input is work done on a machine equal to the effort force times the distance through which the force is applied. On the other hand the work output is the work that is done by a machine equals resistance force times the distance through which the force is applied.

High-speed stroboscopic photographs show that the head of a 180 g golf club is traveling at 47 m/s just before it strikes a 46 g

inn [45]

Answer:

47 m/s

Explanation:

golf club mass, mc = 180 g

golf ball mass, mb = 46 g

initial golf club speed, vc1 = 47 m/s

final golf club speed, vc2 = 35 m/s

initial golf ball speed, vb1 = 0 m/s

final golf ball speed, vb2 = ? m/s

The total momentum is conserved, then:

mc*vc1 + mb*vb1 = mc*vc2 + mb*vb2

Replacing with data and solving (dimension are omitted):

180*47 + 46*0 = 180*35 + 46*vb2

vb2 = (180*47 - 180*35)/46

vb2 = 47 m/s

Olin [163]

Answer:

t = 0.196 s

Explanation:

The speed of a pulse is determined by the characteristics of the medium, its density and its resistance to stress, as long as these remain the speed will be constant for which we can use the kinetic expressions of the uniform movement

v = x / t

t = x / v

calculate

t = 2/102

t = 0.196 s
