Answer:

a) 1.6*10^21 Joules.

b) 40,000

Explanation:

part a )

maximum destructive energy that can be released is the case when all the kinetic energy of the asteroid is consumed.

therefore E = 1/2 m v^2

m= density * volume

= 3100* (4/3* pi * 1000^3 ) = 12978666666666.67 kg

given v = 16000m/s

therefore

E= 1/2 * 12978666666666.67 * 16000 * 16000

= 1.6 x 10^21 Joules!

part B)

each bomb is capable of 4 x 10^16 joules

therefore no of bombs that are needed to produce the required energy are

1.6 x 10^21 / 4 x 10^16 = 40,000

that is 40,000 such nuclear bombs are required!

What is the smallest piece of a substance?<br><br><br> Pls help me :/
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The smallest piece of a substance is an atom.

Explanation:

Atoms. An atom is the smallest unit of a pure substance or element that can exist and still retain the properties of the original substance or element.

The smallest piece that doesn't retain the properties is a quark

Hope I helped you and have a great day!

A tennis ball of mass 44.0 g is held just above a basketball of mass 594 g. With their centers vertically aligned, both are rele
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

u = 4.6 m/s

h = 8.01 m

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the tennis ball, m = 44.0 g

Mass of the basket ball, M = 594 g

Height of fall, h = 1.08m

Now,

we have

u^2-u'^2 = 2as

where, s = distance = h

a = acceleration

u = final speed before the collision

u' = initial speed

since it is free fall case

thus,

a = g = acceleration due to gravity

u' = 0

thus we have

u^2-0^2 = 2\times9.8\tiimes1.08

or

u = \sqrt{21.168}

or

u = 4.6 m/s

b) Now after the bounce, the ball moves with the same velocity

thus, v = v₂

thus,

final speed (v_f) = v = 4.6 m/s

Then conservation of energy says  

\frac{1}{2}mu_1^2+\frac{1}{2}Mu_2^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2}Mv_2^2  

also

applying the concept of conservation of momentum

we have

mu₁ + Mu₂ = mv₁ + Mv₂

u₁ =velocity of the tennis ball before collision = -4.6 m/s  

u₂ = velocity of the basketball before collision= 4.6 m/s  

v₁ =  velocity of the tennis ball after collision  

v₂ = velocity of the basketball  after collision

substituting the values in the equation, we get

Now,

solving both the equations simultaneously we get

v = (\frac{2M}{m+M})u_1+(\frac{m-M}{m+M})u_2

substituting the values in the above equation we get

v = (\frac{2\times594}{44+594})(-4.6)+(\frac{44-594}{44+594})4.6

or

v = -8.565-3.965

or

v = -12.53m/s

here negative sign depicts the motion of the ball in the upward direction

now the kinetic energy of the tennis ball

K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

or

K.E = \frac{1}{2}44\times 10^{-3}kg\times 12.53^2

or

K.E = 3.45 J

also at the height the K.E will be the potential energy of the tennis ball

thus,

3.45 J = mgh

or

3.45 = 44 × 10⁻³ × 9.8 × h

h = 8.01 m
