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
When the canoe leaked, the boat
sank because it has a leak. The boat must have a strong base at its bottom to
enable itself to float. If this is damaged, the water can now enter due to the
hole thereby increasing the velocity of water coming in.
Hello There!
It is Spring potential energy. Also called Elastic potential energy.
Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)

Answer:
option b
Explanation:
the heavier one will have twice the kinetic energy of the lighter one
Answer:
Sleeping, since your brain is working, but your physical body is not moving at all or moving rarely, therefore there is no work done in the activity of sleeping.
