One of the asteroids, Ida, looks like an elongated potato. Surprisingly it has a tiny (compared to Ida) spherical moon! This moo

n called Dactyl has a mass of 4.20 × 10^16 kg, and a radius of 1.57 × 10^4 meters, according to Wikipedia. Ida has a radius of 3.14 x 10^4 meters.

Answer:

g = 0.0114 m/s²

Explanation:

The value of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon can be given by the following formula:

g = \frac{Gm}{r^2}

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon = ?

G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

m = mass of moon = 4.2 x 10¹⁶ kg

r = radius of moon = 1.57 x 10⁴ m

Therefore,

g= \frac{(6.67\ x\ 10^{-11}\ N.m^2/kg^2)(4.2\ x\ 10^{16}\ kg)}{(1.57\ x\ 10^4\ m)^2}

<u>g = 0.0114 m/s²</u>

ivann1987 [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

The final velocity of the two  railroad cars is 1.09 m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Since we are given that the two cars lock together it shows that the collision is inelastic in nature. The final velocity due to inelastic collision is given by  

\mathrm{V}=\frac{V 1 M 1+V 2 M 2}{M 1+M 2}

where

V= Final velocity

M1= mass of the first object in kgs = 12000

M2= mas of the second object in kgs = 10000

V1= initial velocity of the first object in m/s = 2m/s

V2= initial velocity of the second object in m/s = 0 (given at rest)

Substituting the given values in the formula we get

V = 2×12000 + 0x100012000 + 10000= 2400022000= 1.09 m/s  

\mathrm{V}=\frac{2 \times 1200+0 \times 1000}{12000+10000}=\frac{24000}{22000}=1.09 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

Which is the final velocity of the two  railroad cars

diamong [38]

In the first direct detection of gravitational waves by LIGO in 2015, the waves came from the merger of two black holes. Option B is correct. This is further explained below.

<h3>What are gravitational waves?</h3>

A gravitational wave is simply defined as a ripple in space that is unseen though extremely rapid. Gravitational waves move at light speed. As they pass past, these waves compress and stretch everything in their path.

In conclusion, the merger of two black holes is the first direct detection of gravitational waves.

This time particle A starts from rest and accelerates to the right at 65.5 cm/s
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

t = 4 s

Explanation:

As we know that the particle A starts from Rest with constant acceleration

So the distance moved by the particle in given time "t"

d = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

d = 0 + \frac{1}{2}(65.5)t^2

d_1 = 32.75 t^2 cm

Now we know that B moves with constant speed so in the same time B will move to another distance

d_2 = 44 \times t

now we know that B is already 349 cm down the track

so if A and B will meet after time "t"

then in that case

d_1 = 349 + d_2

32.75 t^2 = 349 + 44 t

on solving above kinematics equation we have

t = 4 s

Assume that the home construction industry is perfectly competitive and in long-run competitive equilibrium. It follows that: A.
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

B. Marginal cost equals long-run average total cost.

Explanation:

The zero profit condition implies that entry continues until all firms are producing at minimum long run average total cost. Since the marginal cost curve cuts the long run average total cost curve at its minimum point, marginal cost and long run average total cost must be equal in long run equilibrium.
