A NASA satellite has just observed an asteroid that is on a collision course with the Earth. The asteroid has an estimated mass,

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

v = 7934.2 m/s

Explanation:

Here the total energy of the Asteroid and the Earth system will remains conserved

So we will have

$-\frac{GMm}{r} + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = -\frac{GMm}{R} + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

now we know that

$v_0 = 660 m/s$

$M = 5.98 \times 10^{24} kg$

$m = 5 \times 10^9 kg$

$r = 4 \times 10^9 m$

$R = 6.37 \times 10^6 m$

now from above formula

$GMm(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

now we have

$2GM(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + v_0^2 = v^2$

now plug in all data

$2(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.98 \times 10^{24})(\frac{1}{6.37 \times 10^6} - \frac{1}{4 \times 10^9}) + (660)^2 = v^2$

$v = 7934.2 m/s$

The length of the adult mosquito is typically between 3.0 mm and 6.0 mm. The smallest known mosquitoes are around 2.5 mm, and th

FrozenT [24]

0.74in

Explanation:

Given parameters:

length range of adult mosquito = 3.0 - 6.0mm

Smallest mosquito = 2.5mm

Largest mosquito = 19mm

Average mass range = 3.0 - 5.0mg

Unknown:

Length of largest known mosquito in inches = ?

Solution;

The length is the longest dimension. It is how long a body is.

The problem here is converting from mm to inches;

The length of the longest mosquito which is the largest is 19mm

19mm to inches;

1mm = 0.039inches

19mm = 19mm x $\frac{0.039in}{1mm}$ = 0.74in

Think about the mice shown below. Using the space below numbered 1, describe what is happening from figure 1 to 3.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: Natural selection is taking place.

Explanation:

As you can see, the lighter colored mice are more visible than their surroundings, so the hawk picks them off one by one. the brown mice on the other hand are less visible, blending in with their surroundings, so they are successful, and pass on the genes that allow them to survive better.
