The answer should be C. Both matter and energy because physical sciences are sciences concerned with the study of inanimate natural objects, including physics, chemistry, astronomy, and related subjects.
Matter and energy fall in with chemistry
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body while in motion. It is calculated by 1/2mv², where m is the mass of the body and v is the velocity.
Therefore, kinetic energy is dependent on both mass of the body and the velocity. An increase in mass increases the kinetic energy, an increase in velocity also increases kinetic energy of the body. Thus, doubling the mass and doubling the velocity will both increase the kinetic energy of the body.
Answer:
diameter = 21.81 ft
Explanation:
The gravitational force equation is:
Where:
- F => Gravitational force or force of attraction between two masses
- M => Mass of asteroid 1
- m => Mass of asteroid 2
- R => Distance between asteroids 1 and 2 (from center of gravity)
We also know that the asteroids are identical so their masses are identical:
Since R is the distance between centers of the two asteroids and their diameters are identical (see attachment), we can conclude that:
We don´t know the mass of the asteroids but we know they are composed of pure iron, so we can relate their masses to their density:
This is going to be helpful because the volume of a sphere is:
And know we can write our original force of gravity equation in terms of the radius of the asteroids:
Now let´s plug in the values we know:
- mutual gravitational attraction force
- gravitational constant
Solve for r and multiply by 2 because 2r = diameter
Result is d = 21.81 Feet
