Answer:
B. The truck and mosquito exert the same size force on each other.
Explanation:
Newton's third law (law of action-reaction) states that
"When an object A exerts a force (action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction) on object A"
In this case, we can call
object A = the truck
object B = the mosquito
Thereforce according to Newton's third law, the force exerted by the truck on the mosquito is equal in magnitude to the force exerted by the mosquito on the truck (and in opposite direction).
The reason for which the mosquito will experience much more damage is the fact that the mosquito's mass is much smaller than the truck's mass, and since the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass:
the mosquito will experience a much larger deceleration than the truck, therefore much more damage.
Answer:
The same as the escape velocity of asteorid A (50m/s)
Explanation:
The escape velocity is described as follows:
where is the universal gravitational constant,
is the mass of the asteroid and
is the radius
and since the scape velocity is 50m/s:
Now, if the astroid B has twice mass and twice the radius, we have that tha mass is:
and the radius is:
inserting these values into the formula for escape velocity:
and we have found that , so the two asteroids have the same escape velocity.
We found that the expression for escape velocity remains the same as for asteroid A, this because both quantities (radius and mass) doubled, so it does not affect the equation.
The answer is
Asteroid B would have an escape velocity the same as the escape velocity of asteroid A
