Astronomers estimate that a 2
-
km wide asteroid collides with the earth once every million years. the
collision could pose a threat to life on earth. (a) assume a spherical asteroid has a mass of 3200 kg
for
each cubic meter of volume and moves toward the earth at 15 km/s. how much destructive energy
could be released when it embeds itself in the earth? (b) for comparison, a nuclear bomb could release
about
. how many such bombs would have to
explode simultaneously to release the
destructive energy of the asteroid collision with earth?

Electroplating is a way to coat a complex metal object with a very thin (and hence inexpensive) layer of a precious metal, such as silver or gold. in essence the metal object is made the cathode of an electrolytic cell in which the precious metal cations are dissolved in aqueous solution. suppose a current of 480.ma is passed through an electroplating cell with an aqueous solution of agno3 in the cathode compartment for 46.0 seconds. calculate the mass of pure silver deposited on a metal object made into the cathode of the cell. round your answer to 3 significant digits. also, be sure your answer contains a unit symbol. ×10μ

Very large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. one model used to gauge the likelihood of injury is the severity index ( ), defined as =/ . in the expression, is the duration of the accleration, but is not equal to the acceleration. rather, is a dimensionless constant that = the number of multiples of that the acceleration is equal to. in one set of studies of rear-end collisions, a person's velocity increases by 13.7 km/h with an acceleration of 36.0 m/s2 . let the + direction point in the direction the car is traveling. what is the severity index for the collision?

Neurons are components of the nervous system of the body that transmit signals as electrical impulses travel along their length. these impulses propagate when charge suddenly rushes into and then out of a part of the neutron called an axon. measurements have shown that, during the inflow part of this cycle approximately 5.6x10^11 na per meter, each with a charge of e enter the axon. how many coulombs of charge enter a 1.10 cm length of axon during this process
