Which of the following is MOST useful to scientists in measuring the size of asteroids?

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:c-The gravitational effect when spacecraft flies close to the asteriod

Explanation:

Gravitational effect on the spacecraft gives an estimate that how big is the asteroid by experiencing its gravitational pull.

The amount of extra thrust required to maintain the trajectory of the spacecraft during its motion hints at the scientist about the size of the asteroid.

Gravitational pull is directly proportional to the mass of object so greater the mass, greater will be the pull.

Explain why a moving object cannot come to a stop instantaneously (in zero seconds). Hint: Think about the acceleration that wou

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

To stop instantly, you would need infinite deceleration. This in turn, requires infinite force, as demonstrable with this equation:F=maSo when you hit a wall, you do not instantly stop (e.g. the trunk of the car will still move because the car is getting crushed). In a case of a change in momentum, mv⃗ mv→, we can use the following equation to calculate force:F=p/hHowever, because the force is nowhere close to infinity, time will never tend to zero either, which means that you cannot come to an instantaneous stop.

A solid weighs 200N in air, 150N in water and 170N in a liquid. Find relative density of solid, relative density of liquid and d

fomenos

Answer:

$\rho_{s} = 4$

$\rho_{l} = 0.6$

$\rho{liq} = 600 kg/m^{3}$

Given:

Weight of solid in air, $w_{sa} = 200 N$

Weight of solid in water, $w_{sw} = 150 N$

Weight of solid in liquid, $w_{sl} = 170 N$

Solution:

Calculation of:

1. Relative density of solid, $\rho_{s}$

$\rho_{s} = \frac{w_{sa}}{w_{sa} - w_{sw}}$

$\rho_{s} = \frac{200}{200 - 150} = 4$

2. Relative density of liquid, $\rho_{l}$

$\rho_{l} = \frac{w_{sa} - w_{sl}}{w_{sa} - w_{sw}}$

$\rho_{l} = \frac{200 - 170}{200 - 150} = 0.6$

3. Density of liquid in S.I units:

Also, we know:

$\rho{l} = \frac{\rho_{liq}}{\rho_{w}}$

where

$= {\rho_{liq}}$ = density of liquid

$= {\rho_{w}} = 1000 kg/m^{3}$ = density of water

Now, from the above formula:

$0.6 = \frac{\rho_{liq}}{1000}$

$\rho{liq} = 600 kg/m^{3}$

The height of the empire state building is 318 m if a stone is dropped from the top of the building what is the stones velocity

lutik1710 [3]

79 m/s. A stone dropped from the top of the Empire State Building will have a velocity of 79 m/s just before it strikes the ground.

This problem is about free fall, to find the velocity of the stone before it strikes the ground we have to use the equation $v_{f}^{2}=v_{0}^{2}+2gh$ , the initial velocity of the stone is 0 m/s. Then:

$v_{f}^{2}=2gh$

$v_{f}=\sqrt{ 2gh}$

Solving the equation above with g = 9.8 m/s², and h = 318.0 m:

$v_{f}=\sqrt{ 2(9.8m/s^{2})(318.0m)}= 78.95 m/s$

$v_{f}$ ≅ 79 m/s

One anthem of silicon can properly be combined in a compound with

Darya [45]

One atom of silicon can properly be combined in a compound withtwo atoms of oxygen to produce silicon dioxide because silicon is very similar to carbon, as it is in the same group as carbon is in, therefore, it is able to make four bonds.
Moreover, Silicon has 4 valence electrons. In order to form an ionic bond, silicon would have to gain or lose 4 electrons.
