Give at least two reasons today’s astronomers are so interested in the discovery of additional Earth-approaching asteroids.

Physics
1 answer:
blondinia [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

1. Potential hazard

2. Mining opportunity

Explanation:

The two reason, why astronomers are so interested in the discovery of additional Earth-approaching asteroids:

1. Potential hazard: We have proof that the dinosaurs got extinct because of an asteroid/comet strike on Earth. Also we have seen the effects of the Tunguska event and Chelyabinsk tragedy. These are enough to show us that asteroids can be very dangerous and wipe out the life from Earth.

2. Mining Opportunity: We have discovered a lot of asteroids which contains a lot of metal and precious elements. There can be a possibility of mining such asteroids in the future and reducing the burden on Earth.

During which two time intervals does the particle undergo equal displacement?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

BC and DE

Explanation:

In the given figure, the velocity time graph is shown. We know that the area under v-t curve gives the displacement of the particle.

Area under AB, d_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 10=10\ m

Area under BC, d_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 4=4\ m

Area under CD, d_3=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 7=7\ m

Area under DE, d_4=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 4=4\ m

Area under EF, d_5=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 3=3\ m

So, form above calculations it is clear that, during BC and DE undergo equal displacement. Hence, the correct option is (c) "BC and DE = 4 meters".

The frequency of the second harmonic of a certain musical instrument is 100 Hz. What is the fundamental frequency of the instrum
ruslelena [56]
The harmonic frequency of a musical instrument is the minimum frequency at which a string that is fixed at both ends in the instrument may vibrate. The harmonic frequency is known as the first harmonic. Each subsequent harmonic has a frequency equal to:
n*f, where n is the number of the harmonic and f is the harmonic frequency. Therefore, the harmonic frequency may be calculated using:
f = 100 / 2
f = 50 Hz

You move a 25 n object 4 meters. find the work you did
d1i1m1o1n [39]
In physics, "work<span>" is when a force applied to an object moves the object in the same direction as the force. If someone pushes against a wall, no </span>work<span> is done on the system. It is calculated as follows:

Work = Force x distance
Work = 25 N x 4 meters
Work = 100 N.m</span>

A block lies on a horizontal frictionless surface. A horizontal force of 100 N is applied to the block giving rise to an acceler
KIM [24]

Answer:

(a) m = 33.3 kg

(b) d = 150 m

(c) vf = 30 m/s

Explanation:

Newton's second law to the block:

∑F = m*a Formula (1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass s (kg)

a : acceleration  (m/s²)

Data

F= 100 N

a= 3.0 m/s²

(a) Calculating of the  mass of the block:

We replace dta in the formula (1)

F = m*a

100 =  m*3

m = 100 / 3

m = 33.3 kg

Kinematic analysis

Because the block  moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formulas:

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t² Formula (2)

vf= v₀+a*t   Formula (3)

Where:  

d:displacement in meters (m)  

t : time interval in seconds (s)

v₀: initial speed in m/s  

vf: final speed in m/s  

a: acceleration in m/s²

Data

a= 3.0 m/s²

v₀= 0

t = 10 s

(b) Distance the block will travel if the force is applied for 10 s

We replace dta in the formula (2):

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t²

d = 0+ (1/2)*(3)*(10)²

d =150 m

(c) Calculate the speed of the block after the force has been applied for 10 s

We replace dta in the formula (3):

vf= v₀+a*t

vf= 0+(3*(10)

vf= 30 m/s

Calculate the force that the 4kg block exerts on the 10kg block
Kryger [21]
Acceleration=force/mass=28/(10+4)=2m/s^2

force10kg=ma=10*2
force4kg=ma=(10*2)=20
the4 kg is pushing against the 10kg block

vf=vi+at
-10=20*28/14 * t
t=30/2=15sec
