Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The asteroids are the rocky bodies or smaller celestial objects that are present dominantly in the asteroid belt, which is far away from the sun. This belt is present between the planet Mars and Jupiter. They are comparatively of smaller size, ranging from about a few meters to hundreds of meters and does not have a reflecting surface. Due to this, there occur difficulties in tracking them. There are millions of asteroids in the asteroid belt and are continuously moving at a speed of roughly 80,000 km/hour. There occurs frequent collision between them.

Thus, they are difficult to detect when they cross the orbit of earth.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D)- All the above.

What is the likely homeostatic reason for developing a fever ?
zepelin [54]
The body is too cold, so the body tries to keep itself cool by overheating. But, though a likely scenario, would require the body to be frostbitten, and overexposed, and would supply as a sort of plan B for the body to maintain an equilibrium with its temperature; reacting to the conditions around it, and trying to maintain balance within itself.

Problem 6: The prism is made from metal, with a density of 6.6 grams per cm?. Calculate the mass of the prism.
Andrews [41]

Answer:

the mass of the prism is 29.11 g

Explanation:

Given the dimensions of the prism as;

7 mm = 0.7 cm

18 mm = 1.8 cm

35 mm = 3.5 cm

volume of the prism = 0.7 cm  x   1.8 cm   x  3.5 cm

                                  = 4.41 cm³

density of the prism, ρ = 6.6 g/cm³

The mass of the prism is calculated as;

mass = density x volume

mass = 6.6 g/cm³   x  4.41 cm³

mass = 29.106 g

mass = 29.11 g

Therefore, the mass of the prism is 29.11 g
