Answer:
s = 1.7 m
Explanation:
from the question we are given the following:
Mass of package (m) = 5 kg
mass of the asteriod (M) = 7.6 x 10^{20} kg
radius = 8 x 10^5 m
velocity of package (v) = 170 m/s
spring constant (k) = 2.8 N/m
compression (s) = ?
Assuming that no non conservative force is acting on the system here, the initial and final energies of the system will be the same. Therefore
• Ei = Ef
• Ei = energy in the spring + gravitational potential energy of the system
• Ei = \frac{1}{2}ks^{2} + \frac{GMm}{r}
• Ef = kinetic energy of the object
• Ef = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}
• \frac{1}{2}ks^{2} + (-\frac{GMm}{r}) = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}
• s = 
s = 
s = 1.7 m

Answer: D
<u></u>
X: positive
Y: negative
Explanation:
It's either A or D and I chose A and got it wrong.
We want to know what does the fact that Mercury has no atmosphere tell us. Since Mercury has no atmosphere it cant reflect a lot of sunlight that is hitting its surface. Its constantly being hit by solar wind. So Mercury reflects a small percentage of the sunlight that strikes it.
Answer: I am pretty sure that you should pick radio waves.
Explanation: The scientist should use radio waves. I think this because you can use the radio waves to analyze the signals from outer space. This will work much better than anything there, to analyze it the best possible.
The best I could do.
