Suppose the average mass of each of 20,000 asteroids in the solar system is 1017 kg. Compare the total mass of these asteroids t

o the mass of Earth. Assuming a spherical shape and a density of 3000 kg/m3, estimate the diameter of an asteroid having this average mass.

Answer:

The mass of the asteroids is 0.000334896182184 times the mass of the Earth.

39929.4542466 m

Explanation:

Total mass of the asteroids

m_a20000\times 10^{17}=2\times 10^{21}\ kg

m_e = Mass of Earth = 5.972\times 10^{24}\ kg

The ratio is

\dfrac{m_a}{m_e}=\dfrac{2\times 10^{21}}{5.972\times 10^{24}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_a}{m_e}=0.000334896182184

The mass of the asteroids is 0.000334896182184 times the mass of the Earth.

Volume is given by

V=\dfrac{m}{\rho}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{4\pi}{3\times 8} d^3=\dfrac{m}{\rho}\\\Rightarrow d^3=\dfrac{3\times 8}{4\pi}\dfrac{m}{\rho}\\\Rightarrow d=(\dfrac{3\times 8}{4\pi}\dfrac{m}{\rho})^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow d=(\dfrac{3\times 8}{4\pi}\dfrac{10^{17}}{3000})^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow d=39929.4542466\ m

The diameter is 39929.4542466 m

What would you say to a friend who made this statement, “The visible-light spectrum of the Sun shows weak hydrogen lines and str
Oliga [24]

Explanation:

spectral lines or signatures of elements depend on temperature, the temperature of the sun is about 5800 K.

at this temperature most calcium atoms are excited to higher energy states than hydrogen atoms and this means that calcium atoms are gonna have more signatures than the atoms of hydrogen.

the statement that the sun shows weak hyrogen lines and strong calcium line is wrong because at the sun's temperature most of the hydrogen atoms are in lower energy states while calcium atoms are in higher energy states hence calcium has more or ''strong'' lines than hydrogen.

A 0.500 H inductor is connected in series with a 93 Ω resistor and an ac source. The voltage across the inductor is V = −(11.0V)
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

205 V

V_{R} = 2.05 V

Explanation:

L = Inductance in Henries, (H)  = 0.500 H

resistor is of 93 Ω so R = 93 Ω

The voltage across the inductor is

V_{L} = - IwLsin(wt)

w = 500 rad/s

IwL = 11.0 V

Current:

I = 11.0 V / wL

 = 11.0 V / 500 rad/s (0.500 H)

 = 11.0 / 250

I = 0.044 A

Now

V_{R} = IR

    = (0.044 A) (93 Ω)

V_{R} = 4.092 V

Deriving formula for voltage across the resistor

The derivative of sin is cos

V_{R} = V_{R} cos (wt)

Putting V_{R} = 4.092 V and w = 500 rad/s

V_{R} = V_{R} cos (wt)

    = (4.092 V) (cos(500 rad/s )t)

So the voltage across the resistor at 2.09 x 10-3 s is which means

t = 2.09 x 10⁻³

V_{R} = (4.092 V) (cos (500 rads/s)(2.09 x 10⁻³s))

    =  (4.092 V) (cos (500 rads/s)(0.00209))

    = (4.092 V) (cos(1.045))

    = (4.092 V)(0.501902)

    = 2.053783

V_{R} = 2.05 V

A 2.0-kg block slides on a rough horizontal surface. A force (magnitude P = 4.0 N) acting parallel to the surface is applied to
irinina [24]

When the applied force increases to 5 N, the magnitude of the block's acceleration is 1.7 m/s².

<h3>Frictional force between the block and the horizontal surface</h3>

The frictional force between the block and the horizontal surface is determined by applying Newton's law;

∑F = ma

F - Ff = ma

Ff = F - ma

Ff = 4 - 2(1.2)

Ff = 4 - 2.4

Ff = 1.6 N

When the applied force increases to 5 N, the magnitude of the block's acceleration is calculated as follows;

F - Ff = ma

5 - 1.6 = 2a

3.4 = 2a

a = 3.4/2

a = 1.7 m/s²

Thus, when the applied force increases to 5 N, the magnitude of the block's acceleration is 1.7 m/s².
