Answer:
An object with a high mass close to the Earth could be sent out into a collision course with the asteroid, knocking it off course. When the asteroid is still far from the Earth, a means of deflecting the asteroid is to directly alter its momentum by colliding a spacecraft with the asteroid.
Hope it helps!!
Answer:
, zirconium-103.
Explanation:
In a nuclear reaction, both the mass number and atomic number will conserve.
Let
represent the unknown particle.
The mass number of a particle is the number on the upper-left corner. The atomic number of a particle is the number on its lower-left corner under the mass number. For example, for the particle
,
is the mass number while
while
is the atomic number.
Sum of mass numbers on the left-hand side of the equation:
.
Note that there are three neutrons on the right-hand side of the equation. Sum of mass numbers on the right-hand side:
.
Mass number conserves. As a result,
.
Solve this equation for
:
.
Among the five choices, the only particle with a mass number of 103 is
. Make sure that atomic number also conserves.
Answer:
A hypothesis or a model is called falsifiable if it is possible to conceive of an experimental observation that disproves the idea in question.
