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.

Linh builds a circuit from the diagram shown. Which bulb could Linh remove from the circuit to make all of the other bulbs stop
LenKa [72]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

In order for the current to continue flowing through the circuit (and for the bulbs to continue shining), there must be a closed path containing the battery where current can flow. Let's see the effect of removing each bulb on the circuit:

- 1: when removing bulb 1 only, the current can still flow through the path battery-bulb 3- bulb 4

- 2: when removing bulb 2 only, the current can still flow through the path battery-bulb 3- bulb 4

- 3: when removing bulb 3 only, the current can still flow through the path battery-bulb 1-bulb 2- bulb 4

- 4: when removing bulb 4 only, the current can no longer flow. In fact, there is no closed path that contains the battery now, so the current will not flow and all the bulbs will stop shining.

I think the correct answer would be making soaps and detergents. It is the manufacture of soaps and detergents that makes use of a base. It is included in the process of such product. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Do Small objects exert no gravitational force ? True or false
Zanzabum

Answer:

False -    

F = G M1 M2 / R^2

So F depends on M1 and M2 and as long either is not zero there will be a gravitational force between them.
