Why are asteroids and comets important to our understanding of solar system history?

Physics
1 answer:
Alecsey [184]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

It is widely believed among the space scientist that Asteroids and comets are the remains of the material that has formed our solar system. By studying Asteroids and comets can get information pre era of our solar system, because the asteroids came being at the start of the solar system. The chemical composition, the size and the process of formation of proto stellar nebula. The impact of collision of asteroid on Earth lead to the extinction of Dinosaurs. Previously it was believed that water come on Earth because of comets, but later proved that water come into being on Earth because of Asteroids.

A comet is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Its closest approach to the Sun is a distance of 4.8 1010 m (inside the orbit
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Distance d_i = 4.8 \times 10^{10} \ m

Speed of the comet V_i = 9.1 \times 10^{4} \ m/s

At distance d_2 = 6 \times 10^{12} \ m

where;

mass of the sun = 1.98 \times 10^{30}

G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11}

To find the speed V_f:

Using the formula:

E_f = E_i + W \\ \\  where; \  \  W = 0  \ \  \text{since work done by surrounding is zero (0)}

E_f = E_i + 0 \\ \\  K_f + U_f = K_i + U_i  \\ \\ = \dfrac{1}{2}mV_f^2 +  \dfrac{-GMm}{d^2} =  \dfrac{1}{2}mV_i^2+ \dfrac{-GMm}{d_i} \\ \\ V_f = \sqrt{V_i^2 + 2 GM \Big [  \dfrac{1}{d_2}- \dfrac{1}{d_i}\Big ]}

V_f = \sqrt{(9.1 \times 10^{4})^2 + 2 (6.67\times 10^{-11}) *(1.98 * 10^{30} ) \Big [  \dfrac{1}{6*10^{12}}- \dfrac{1}{4.8*10^{10}}\Big ]}

\mathbf{V_f =53.125 \times 10^4 \ m/s}

Ejercicio 1: Un cuerpo gira en un círculo de 8cm de diámetro con una rapidez constante
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Exercise 1;

The centripetal acceleration is approximately 94.52 m/s²

Explanation:

1) The given parameters are;

The diameter of the circle = 8 cm = 0.08 m

The radius of the circle = Diameter/2 = 0.08/2 = 0.04 m

The speed of motion = 7 km/h = 1.944444 m/s

The centripetal acceleration = v²/r = 1.944444²/0.04 ≈ 94.52 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration ≈ 94.52 m/s²

Calculate the wave length of a water wave with a speed of 20 m/s and a frequency of 2.5 Hz
12345 [234]

Wavelength of the water wave is 8 m

Explanation:

  • Wavelength measures the distance between two successive crests or troughs of the wave. It is given by the following equation

λ = v/f, where f is the frequency, v is the velocity of the wave

Here, v = 20 m/s and f = 2.5 Hz

⇒ λ = 20/2.5

      = 8 m
