Why does a pencil look broken when placed in water?
Refraction will make the light change direction, when it changes from water to air.Refraction will make the light change direction, when it changes from water to air.Refraction will make the light change direction, when it changes from water to air.Refraction will make the light change direction, when it changes from water to air.
What would happen if an asteroid on a collision course with Earth would get blown up in outer space?
It is FAR easier to change the direction of an asteroid than to blow it up. All that is needed to accomplish the former is to nudge the asteroid a little off its collision course with Earth, and this could be done with some small explosions on the side of that asteroid. Blowing up an asteroid would be a complete waste of energy.
How forces make things change direction?
No
How do you make things change direction?
turn them around :)
What is the change in angular momentum of a planet with radius R if an asteroid mass m and speed v hits the equator at an angle from the West 40 degrees from the radial direction?
The asteroid's velocity component tangent to the surface of the planet at the equator is:│v│∙ sin 40oThis times the mass of the asteroid gives the impulse (F∙t) the asteroid gives tothe planet, tangent at the point of impact and in the direction of the planet rotation:m∙│v│∙ sin 40oThis time the radius of the planet gives the increment in angular momentum ofthe planet:R∙│v│∙ sin 40o
Can scientists make a hurricane change direction?
No, scientists can't make a hurricane change direction. As it is, we still have trouble even predicting the path a hurricane will take. We are not even on the level of influencing what a hurricane will do.

If this acts on an object the object will change speed and direction?
You mean a force I guess. A force acting on an object will make it accelerate or decelerate, and if it is acting at an angle to the existing line of motion will make it change direction.
How much does an asteroid weigh?
If it happens to be Midas-22, it's worth quite a chunk of change.
Under what circumstances can an object move in a circular path without being accelerated?
It can't. If there is a change in direction, there is a change in velocity ("velocity" includes the direction), and therefore, an acceleration.It can't. If there is a change in direction, there is a change in velocity ("velocity" includes the direction), and therefore, an acceleration.It can't.

Why would scientist want to know if an asteroid is on a course to collide with earth in 20 years?
If an asteroid were to hit Earth, it could do HUGE damage. It was the changes to Earth after an asteroid hit that killed off the dinosaurs. But if we knew about an asteroid heading our way long enough ahead of time, maybe we could change it's course enough to make it miss, and save millions of lives.
