Answer: M = 6.13 × 10^18 kg

Explanation:

g = GM/r2,

Where

The mass M of the asteroid = ?

The radius r = 110000 m

g = 0.0338 m/s^2

G is the gravitational constant.

SI units its value is approximately 6.674×10^−11m3⋅kg−1⋅s−2

Using the formula

g = GM/r2

Cross multiply

GM = gr^2

6.674×10^-11M = 0.0338 × 110000^2

M = 408×10^6/6.674×10^-11

M = 6.13 × 10^18 kg

According to the law of refraction, light passing from air into a piece of glass at an angle of 30 degrees will cause the light

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

bend toward the normal line

Explanation:

When light passes from a less dense to a more dense substance, (for example passing from air into water), the light is refracted (or bent) towards the normal. In your question the light is moving from rarer to denser medium

A food packet is dropped from a helicopter during a flood-relief operation from a height of 750 meters. Assuming no drag (air fr

Leviafan [203]

1. Velocity at which the packet reaches the ground: 121.2 m/s

The motion of the packet is a uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration $a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ directed downward, initial vertical position $d=750 m$ , and initial vertical velocity $v_0 = 0$ . We can use the following SUVAT equation to find the final velocity of the packet after travelling for d=750 m:

$v_f^2 -v_i^2 =2ad$

substituting, we find

$v_f^2 = 2ad\\v_f = \sqrt{2ad}=\sqrt{2(9.8 m/s^2)(750 m)}=121.2 m/s$

2. height at which the packet has half this velocity: 562.6 m

We need to find the heigth at which the packet has a velocity of

$v_f=\frac{121.2 m/s}{2}=60.6 m/s$

In order to do that, we use again the same SUVAT equation substituting $v_f$ with this value, so that we find the new distance d that the packet travelled from the helicopter to reach this velocity:

$v_f^2-v_i^2=2ad\\d=\frac{v_f^2}{2a}=\frac{(60.6 m/s)^2}{2(9.8 m/s^2)}=187.4 m$

Which means that the heigth of the packet was

$h=750 m-187.4 m=562.6 m$

Some people say you can tell if someone has HIV by looking at him or her. True or false? Why?

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:False.

Explanation: HIV is a viruse that only shows symptoms after a few weeks. in Fact HIV does not show any physical symptoms. So, no you can not tell if someone has or is been infected by HIV by directly looking at them.

Have a Nice Day!!! =)

A girl is shown at position A on a swing when the seat is directly below the support bar. The seat is then at height A as shown

MrRa [10]

Answer:

1. The potential energy of the swing is the greatest at the position B.

2. As the swing moves from point B to point A, the kinetic energy is increasing.

Explanation:

Even though the syntax of the text is not completely clear, likely because it accompanies a drawing that is not included, it results clear that the posittion A is where the seat is at the lowest position, and the position B is upper.

The gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to the height of the objects with respect to some reference altitude. Thus, when the seat is at the position A the swing has the smallest potential energy and when the seat is at the position B the swing has the greatest potential energy.

Regarding the forms of energy, as the swing moves from point B to point A, it is going downward, gaining kinetic energy (speed) at the expense of the potential energy (losing altitude). When the seat passes by the position A, the kinetic energy is maximum and the potential energy is miminum. Then the seat starts to gain altitude again, losing the kinetic energy and gaining potential energy, up to it gets to the other end,
