This question needs research to be answered. From the given information alone it can't be answered without making wild assumptions.

Ideally, you need to take a look at a distribution (or a histogram) of asteroid diameters, identify the "mode" of such a distribution, and find the corresponding diameter. That value will be the answer.

I am attaching one such histogram on asteroid diameters from the IRAS asteroid catalog I could find online. (In order to get a single histogram, you need to add the individual curves in the figure first). Eyeballing this sample, I'd say the mode is somewhere around 10km, so the answer would be: the diameter of most asteroid from the IRAS asteroid catalog is about 10km.

An object with a charge of -3.2 uC and a mass of 1.0×10^(-2) kg experiences an upward electric force, due to a uniform electric
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration is equal to 19.6m/s² and the acceleration is directed upwards though the magnitude of the charge has doubled. This is because the electric force is directed upwards and from newton's second law of motion the charge will have acceleration in the same direction as the electric force on the charge.

Explanation:

The detailed solution can be found in the attachment below.

Thank you for reading and I hope this is helpful to you.

Particle motion in surface waves is __________ motion.
gulaghasi [49]
<h3>Answer;</h3>

<em>B.)neither longitudinal nor transverse</em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Longitudinal waves</u></em> are waves in which the vibration of particles is parallel to the direction of the wave motion.
  • <em><u>Transverse waves</u></em> on the other hand are those waves in which the vibration of particles is perpendicular to the direction of the wave motion.
  • In <em><u>surface waves particles in the medium of transmission move in a circular motion.</u></em> Therefore, they are neither transverse waves nor longitudinal waves.

Given that:

 Energy of bulb  (Work ) = 30 J,

 Time (t) = 3 sec

The power consumption =  ?

 We know that, Power can be defined as rate of doing work

              Power (P) = Work(Energy supplied) ÷ time

                               = 30 ÷ 3

                              = 10 Watts

<em> The power consumption is 10 W.</em>

Rzqust [24]
<span>A tri-fold brochure has two parallel folds, splitting the brochure into three sections. Even when printed on low-weight paper, tri-folds can stand up easily, which makes them a great choice for displaying at conventions. You can fold both folds inwards so that the left and right sections of the brochure sit on top of one another, or you can have one fold inwards and the other outwards, to create an accordion effect, which looks very attractive.</span>
