When An asteroid is speeding directly towards a space ship with a velocity of 255 ms. If the asteroid is detected 8000 meters from the space ship how long does the crew have to take evasive action bef?

Not very long. You can calculate the expected time of impact by dividing the distance by the speed.

What is the escape velocity of the asteroid belt?
Each asteroid has its own escape velocity.
Why person jumping out of a speeding train fall forward?
The velocity of the person is the velocity of the speeding train plus the velocity of the jump out. this gives a resultant velocity with a forward component in the direction of the train's motion.
Is there an escape velocity for an asteroid and if so what is it?
Are you asking if there is a minimum velocity to escape the gravitational pull of an asteroid? The answer is yes. The second part is more difficult as it is variable, based upon the mass, size, and shape of the asteroid and where you start from. Assuming that the asteroid has no atmosphere, the necessary velocity would be roughly the square root of... double the universal gravitational constant, times the mass of the asteroid..., divided by the distance from the center of gravity.
What is another name for acceleration when velocity increase?
When the magnitude of velocity increases, many people call that "speeding up".
How are ultrasonic waves detected by acoustic grating?
by finding the velocity
When does an object have no acceleration?
When it is stationary, or when the velocity is constant. If it is speeding up or slowing down, it has acceleration.
Is distance directly proportional to velocity?
Distance Traveled is directly proportional to velocity. This is because velocity is the change in position over a period of time. The greater the velocity, the greater the distance traveled. For you calculus junkies, integrate velocity to get displacement.
Inertia is what to mass?
Inertia is a bodies resistance to velocity change upon application of a force, so essentially its directly proportional to its mass.
How do you find out the direction of angular accelaration?
The direction of angular acceleration comes from whether the angular speed of the object is clockwise or counterclockwise and whether it is speeding up or slowing down.The direction of the angular acceleration will be positive if the angular velocity is counterclockwise and the object's rotation is speeding up or if the angular velocity is clockwise and the object's rotation is slowing downThe direction of the angular acceleration will be negative if the angular velocity is clockwise and the object's rotation is speeding up or if the angular velocity is counterclockwise and the object's rotation is slowing downThe angular acceleration will not have a direction if the object's angular velocity is constant
Can you give a sentence which has the word hurtling?
The space asteroid was HURTLING towards the sun at a very high velocity.
What does mean the velocity remains constant?
there is no acceleration if the body is moving with constant velocity
Is momentum inversely proportional to velocity?
No, momentum is directly proportional to velocity, and in the same direction..
