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

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.

zaharov [31]

Answer: 12 m/s

Explanation:

If we ignore air resistance, gravity alone will reduce the upward velocity to zero at the top of the flight. As gravity is a conservative force, it will return exactly the same amount of energy to the tennis ball when it returns to the original elevation.

) A 100-g ball falls from a window that is 12 m above ground level and experiences no significant air resistance as it falls. Wh
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Momentum = 1.534 kgm/s

Explanation:

Using the equations of motion, we can obtain the velocity of the ball as it hits the ground.

g = 9.8 m/s²

y = 12 m

u = initial velocity = 0 m/s, since the ball was released from rest

v = final velocity befor the ball hits the ground.

v² = u² + 2ay

v² = 0 + 2×9.8×12 = 235.2

v = 15.34 m/s

The momentum at any point is given as mass × velocity at that point

Mass = 100 g = 0.1 kg, velocity = 15.34 m/s

Momentum = 0.1 × 15.34 = 1.534 kgm/s

I need answer Q2 Q3 Q4​
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Q2: a) make sure the sugar sample used is constant

b) conduct the experiment twice and use the average

c) the type of container used

Q3: a) out of the three, icing sugar dissolves the fastest

b) substances dissolves faster in warmer waters

Q4: molecules in warmer waters moves at a greater speed than in colder waters, having more kinetic energy and colliding with the solute more frequently. More energy is then transferred to the solute molecules to break their bonds, making them dissolve faster.
