It is observed that the number of asteroids (or meteoroids) of a given diameter is roughly inversely proportional to the square

of the diameter.
Part A

Assuming a density of 3000 kg/m3 and approximating the actual distribution of asteroids and meteoroids as a single 1000-km body (Ceres), one hundred 100-km bodies, 10 thousand 10-kmbodies, and so on, calculate the total mass in the form of 1000-km bodies.

Part B

Calculate the total mass in the form of 100-km bodies.

Part C

Calculate the total mass in the form of 10-km bodies.

Part D

Calculate the total mass in the form of 1-km bodies.

Answer:

(a) M =  =1.57 *10²¹kg

(b) M =  =1.57 *10²⁰kg

(c) M =  =1.57 *10¹⁹kg

(d) M =  =1.57 *10¹⁸kg

Explanation:

(a) For 1000km body, diameter D = 1000km = 1,000,000 m

and N = (1000/D)² = (1000/1000km)² =  1

substituting into the formula, we have

M = 1 * 4/3 π*3000*[1000000/2]³

   =1.57 *10²¹kg

(b) For 100km body, diameter D = 100km = 100,000 m

and N = (1000/D)² = (1000/100km)² =  100

substituting into the formula, we have

M = 1 * 4/3 π*3000*[100000/2]³

   =1.57 *10²⁰kg

(C) For 10km body, diameter D = 10km = 10,000 m

and N = (1000/D)² = (1000/10km)² =  100

substituting into the formula, we have

M = 1 * 4/3 π*3000*[10000/2]³

   =1.57 *10¹⁹kg

(C) For 1km body, diameter D = 1km = 1,000 m

and N = (1000/D)² = (1000/1km)² =  100

substituting into the formula, we have

M = 1 * 4/3 π*3000*[1000/2]³

   =1.57 *10¹⁸kg

The true statements about magnetic fields and forces will be A,D and E.

<h3>What is a magnet?</h3>

An iron piece,alloy, or other substance with its constituent atoms arranged in such a way that it shows magnetism qualities,

The function of the magnet is attracting other iron-containing objects or aligning itself in a magnetic field.

There are two poles of the magnet;

1. North Pole.

2. South Pole.

The same poles repel each other, while the opposite poles attract each other. In a sense, south-south and north-north repel. While the north-south and the south-north attract each other.

The correct statements are;

(A). The north pole attracts the south pole of a magnet.

(D)Forces caused by magnetic fields are weaker farther from the magnet.

(E)Magnetic forces can act on an object even if the object isn't touching the magnet.

Hence, the true statements about magnetic fields and forces will be A,D and E.

Only 35 % of the intensity of a polarized light wave passes through a polarizing filter. What is the angle between the electric
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The angle between the electric field and the axis of the filter is 54⁰

Explanation:

Apply the equation for intensity of light through a polarizer.

I = I_oCos^2 \theta

where;

I is the intensity of the transmitted light

I₀ is the intensity of the incident light

θ is the incident angle

If only 35 % of the intensity of a polarized light wave passes through a polarizing filter, then the ratio of the intensity of the transmitted light to that of the intensity of the incident light is given by;

\frac{I}{I_o}  = Cos^2 \theta\\\\\frac{35}{100} =  Cos^2 \theta\\\\Cos^2 \theta = 0.35\\\\Cos\theta = \sqrt{0.35} \\\\Cos\theta = 0.5916\\\\\theta = Cos^{-1}(0.5916)\\\\\theta  = 54 ^0

Therefore, the angle between the electric field and the axis of the filter is 54⁰
