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
The distance between object P1 and its image formed is determined as 36 m.
<h3>
Distance of the image</h3>
The distance of the image formed by object P1 is calculated as follows;
In a plane mirror; object distance = image distance
image distance of P1 = 18 m
distance between object and image = 18m + 18 m = 36 m
Thus, the distance between object P1 and its image formed is determined as 36 m.

sir what's the question you have all you wrote is it's not b
The acceleration due to gravity would be 5.95 m/s²
A force is known to be a push or pull and it is the change in momentum per time. It can be expressed by using the relation.
- Force = mass × acceleration.
From the parameters given:
- Mass = 105 kg
- Force = 625 N
By replacing the given values into the above equation, we can determine the acceleration.
∴
625 N = 105 kg × acceleration.
acceleration = 5.95 N/kg
acceleration = 5.95 m/s²
