Answer:

Development in science:

There a number of individuals in the world around us who has improved the field of science and made it easy for us to know this universe more easily then ever. This universe is still unexplored and there are going to be more then billions of stars which are still not studied and has an immense amount of information regarding the universe.

Stephen Hawking: The scientist who made it easy for each of us to know the universe and more over the cosmos in a more detailed form, as before this no one knew about the different patterns of entities and there properties.

A genius who was handicapped:

He was a genius in cosmology, mathematics, and other subjects of science as he was diagnosed by the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS), which made it unable for him to live a normal life.But, he communicated through a computer which detected his nerve signals and shared his thoughts about any thing or subject.

Why him?

Stephen hawking was just tremendous in making it more understandable about the black holes, time worms, and space etc.As it was known to very small number of people before he took the stage.

What is an ion and how does an atom become both positive or negative ion?

Bess [88]

Answer:

An ion is an atom or group of atoms with a positive or negative charge. Ions form when atoms lose or gain electrons to obtain a full outer shell: metal atoms lose electrons to form positively charged ions non-metal atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged ions.

On August 10, 1972, a large meteorite skipped across the atmosphere above the western United States and western Canada, much lik

a) $4.62\cdot 10^{14} J$

b) 0.110 megatons

c) 8.46 bombs

Explanation:

The energy lost by the meteorite is equal to the difference between its final kinetic energy and its initial kinetic energy:

$\Delta K=K_f-K_i$

Which can be rewritten as:

$\Delta K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2$

where:

$m=3.2\cdot 10^6 kg$ is the mass of the meteorite

$v=0$ is the final speed of the meteorite

$u=17 km/s = 17,000 m/s$ is the initial speed of the meteorite

Substituting the values into the equation, we found the loss in energy of the meteorite:

$\Delta K=0-\frac{1}{2}(3.2\cdot 10^6)(17000)^2=-4.62\cdot 10^{14} J$

So, the energy lost by the meteorite is $4.62\cdot 10^{14} J$

The energy equivalent to 1 megaton of TNT is

$E_{TNT}=4.2\cdot 10^{15} J$

Here the energy lost by the meteorite is

$E=4.62\cdot 10^{14} J$

Therefore, in order to write the energy lost by the meteorite as a multiple of the energy of 1 megaton of TNT, we have to divide the energy lost by the meteorite by the energy equivalent to 1 TNT; we find:

$\frac{E}{E_{TNT}}=\frac{4.62\cdot 10^{14}}{4.2\cdot 10^{15}}=0.110$
