determining its mass from its gravitational pull on a spacecraft, satellite, or planet.
The best way to determine an asteroid's density involves more than just comparing its reflectivity; it typically requires a combination of techniques. Radar mapping can provide information about an asteroid's size and shape, while spectroscopic imaging helps identify its composition. To calculate density, scientists often use mass estimates derived from gravitational interactions or spacecraft measurements combined with volume estimates from radar or imaging data. Thus, a comprehensive approach is most effective for accurately determining an asteroid's density.
But you CAN determine the size of the planets: in diameter, overall mass, and in density.
Yes, even the smallest asteroids can create massive craters because they are travelling at such tremendous speeds. Several variables can affect the size of the crater, including the size, speed and density of the asteroid, the density of the ground and the angle at which the asteroid strikes.
Not enough information. You can't determine the density of something just by measuring its size.
its a fifty fifty chance we just dont know It depends on how fast the asteroid is moving and the size of the asteroid. Then you have to consider the size of the planet (diameter, etc.), and its orbital speed, etc.
to identify package size,weight=volume*density. if you know density you will know the volume of the bag.
density can be used for gravitational acceleration, you will need to know the density of the country rock and that of the body of interest to give you sigma which is the density change, you can then go on to work out the graph and determine the size and depth of the body.
The impact of asteroid Apophis, which is about 340 meters in diameter, would create a crater up to 5-6 kilometers in diameter if it were to hit Earth. The exact size would depend on various factors such as the asteroid's density, speed, and angle of impact.
This varies greatly with the size of the banana in question. Determine the volume of the banana using water displacement. Determine the mass of the banana on a balance. Density = mass/volume
It would depend on the size of the asteroid.
An asteroid
The size of an object has little to do with whether it will float. Size relative to weight, or density, is what determines bouyancy. If the object weighs less than the amount of water it can displace, it floats.
