Answer:

This passage is mainly about asteroids striking Earth.

Explanation:

The presented passage is mostly focusing on asteroids striking Earth. It is something that has been happening since Earth has formed, and it will happen in the future as well. The vast majority of the asteroids don't really have any impact on Earth, but some have an impact that is devastating and long-lasting.

In the earlier stages of Earth, many more asteroids were falling on the surface, and the main reason for that has been the lack of atmosphere or a very thin atmosphere. As the atmosphere started to take shape and became similar to what is nowadays, the asteroid impacts decreased significantly because the atmosphere was managing to burn them and break them apart. This is not possible with all asteroids though, as some are so big and fall under an angle where the atmosphere doesn't really have any impact on them so when they fall on the surface they are able to cause sudden climatic changes, mass devastation, and mass extinction of species. Such an asteroid will be in a direction to hit Earth in the future for sure, the question remains will humans with their technology be able to prevent an impact or not.

Anne releases a stone from a height of 2 meters. She measures the kinetic energy of the stone at 9.8 joules at the exact point i
nlexa [21]

Eₖ = √1/2 mv²

Eₖ/v² = 1/2 m

2Eₖ/v² = m

mgh = 1/2 mv²

gh = 1/2 v²

2gh = v²

v = √2gh

= √2 × 10 N/kg × 2 m

= 6.324 ms⁻¹

m = 9.8/(6424)²

= 9.8/39.993

= 0.245 g

I am not sure if it's correct.

i transposed for m in the first equation then to find the velocity I combined the potential and kinetic energy equation. there was no mass because velocity doesn't depend on the mass

Then I used earth's gravitational field strength (g) 10 N/kg and the 2 m was the height provided in the question

you can try working and see if you get the same
