Approximately how many asteroids that are 0.98 km in radius would it take to make a planet which has a radius of 6420.0 km

Answer:

It'd take approximately 6543 asteroids.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the number of asteroids needed to make that planet we first need to determine the volume of each object. To do this we will consider them as spheres and apply the appropriate formula:

V_{asteroid} = \frac{4*\pi*0.98}{3} = 4.11  \text{ km}^3

V_{planet} = \frac{4*\pi*6420}{3} = 26892.03 \text{ km}^3

The number of asteroids needed are given by the division of planet's volume by the asteroid's volume.

n = \frac{26892.03}{4.11} = 6543.07

It'd take approximately 6543 asteroids.

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

5.5g of ice melts when a 50g chunk of iron at 80°C is dropped into a cavity

Explanation:

The concept to solve this problem is given by Energy Transferred, the equation is given by,

Q = mc\Delta T

Where,

Q= Energy transferred

m = mass of water

c = specific heat capacity

\Delta T = Temperature change (K or °C)

Replacing the values where mass is 50g and temperature is 80°C to 0°C we have,

Q = mc\Delta T

Q = 50*0.11*(80-0)

Q = 440cal

Then we can calculate the heat absorbed by m grams of ice at 0°C, then

Q_2 = mL = 80*m

How Q_1=Q_2, so

80m=440

m=\frac{440}{80}

m = 5.5g

Then 5.5g of ice melts when a 50g chunk of iron at 80°C is dropped into a cavity

Which quantity is most closely related to the speed of gas particles
natali 33 [55]
Temperature is a measure of the energy of molecules and energy is related to speed. 

<span>The water in a pot is heated by convection. The water on the bottom will warm up and rise toward the surface and the cooler water will then sink to the bottom where it will be heated. </span>

<span>Oxygen will form ionic bonds with nitrogen. The others will not by themselves. </span>

<span>A high pH is indicative of a basic solution. HCl and H2SO4 are both strong acids and will result in a lower (more acidic) pH. Water is the standard. KOH is a strong base and will increase the pH. </span>

<span>An acidic solid will lower the pH of a solution. pH measures the number of hydrogen ions and a lower pH will mean that there are more H+ ions, but the solid could just have reacted with the OH- to cause the pH to decrease</span>

HELP PLS.<br><br><br>What are the characteristics of the three states of matter?
vredina [299]

Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas. Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around. Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles. Hopefully this helps:)
