Explain why space junk is a hazard to an astronats or spacecraft

Chemistry
1 answer:
Pie3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Space junk is travelling so fast that a collision with an astronaut or a spacecraft could be disastrous.

Explanation:

Space junk orbits the Earth at speeds of about 28 000 km/h.  

That's so fast that even an orbiting fleck of paint has enough kinetic energy to cause impact craters on the surface of a spacecraft. They are even more dangerous to an astronaut on a space walk.

Much of the space debris is larger and more dangerous than a fleck of paint.

One rough estimate of the amount of space debris is

<em>       </em><u>Size</u><em>        </em>        <u>Number of objects</u>

< 1 cm                        200 000 000

1 cm to 10 cm                   700 000

> 10 cm                                 30 000

Satellites, etc.                       18 000

The chances of collision are small, but any collision can be disastrous.

(01.07 но) An experiment was conducted to determine the density of a liquid. The table shows a partial record of the experiment
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

How do you find the density of a liquid experiment?

To measure the density of a liquid you do the same thing you would for a solid. Mass the fluid, find its volume, and divide mass by volume. To mass the fluid, weigh it in a container, pour it out, weigh the empty container, and subtract the mass of the empty container from the full container.

State two ways of measuring the quantity of reactant or product
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

If a reaction produces a gas such as oxygen or carbon dioxide, there are two ways to measure the reaction rate: using a gas syringe to measure the gas produced, or calculating the reduction in the mass of the reaction solution.

6.0 moles of Na and 4.0 moles of Cl2 are mixed, how manu moles of NaCl in moles cane be made from this mixture
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Moles of NaCl formed is 6.0 moles

Explanation:

We are given the equation;

2 Na(s) + Cl₂(g) → 2 NaCl(s)

  • Moles of Na is 6.0 moles
  • Moles of Cl₂ is 4.0 moles

From the reaction;

2 moles of sodium reacts with 1 mole of chlorine gas to form 2 moles of NaCl

In this case;

6 moles of Na would require 3 moles of Cl₂, this means that chlorine gas is in excess.

Thus, the rate limiting reagent is sodium.

But, 2 moles of sodium reacts to form 2 moles of NaCl

Therefore;

Moles of NaCl = Moles of Na

                      = 6.0 moles

Thus, moles of sodium chloride produced is 6.0 moles

oxygen is a common oxidizing agent in nature. what change in the oxidation number of oxygen must occur if it is to be an oxidizi
Minchanka [31]

Answer is: the oxidation number of oxygen must decrease.

Oxidizing agent is element (substance) that gain electrons in chemical reaction.

For example, balanced chemical reaction: C + O₂ → CO₂.

Oxygen change oxidation number from 0 to oxidation number -2 (reduction) and carbon change from 0 to +4 (oxidation)
