<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em>Asteroids, often known as minor planets, are stony, airless leftovers of our solar system's early development about 4.6 billion years ago.</em>

<em>The majority of this ancient space junk may be found in the main asteroid belt, orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. Asteroids range in size from Vesta, the largest at 329 miles (530 kilometers) in diameter, to asteroids as small as 33 feet (10 meters). The cumulative mass of all asteroids is less than that of the Earth's Moon.</em>

A system dissipates 12 J of heat into the surroundings; meanwhile, 28 J of work is done on the system. What is the change of the

timurjin [86]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

energy dissipated by the system to the surrounding = 12 J

Work done on the system = 28 J

change in internal energy of the system

Δ U = Q - W

system losses energy = - 12 J

work done = -28 J

Δ U = Q - W

Δ U = -12 -(-28)

Δ U = 16 J

hence, the correct answer is option C

Answer:

M = 0.730*m

V = 0.663*v

Explanation:

Data Given:

$v_{bullet, initial} = v\\v_{bullet, final} = 0.516*v\\v_{paper, initial} = 0\\v_{paper, final} = V\\mass_{bullet} = m\\mass_{paper} = M\\Loss Ek = 0.413 Ek$

Conservation of Momentum:

$P_{initial} = P_{final}\\m*v_{i} = m*0.516v_{i} + M*V\\0.484m*v_{i} = M*V .... Eq1$

Energy Balance:

$\frac{1}{2}*m*v^2_{i} = \frac{1}{2}*m*(0.516v_{i})^2 + \frac{1}{2}*M*V^2 + 0.413*\frac{1}{2}*m*v^2_{i}\\\\0.320744*m*v^2_{i} = M*V^2\\\\M = \frac{0.320744*m*v^2_{i} }{V^2} ....... Eq 2$
