Asteroids

You can add the word 'competent'. The sentence would read, 'During his tenure you found him to be competent, and his services were found to be satisfactory.'

Asteroids are called minor planets because they are celestial objects that orbit the sun just like planets do, but they are much smaller in size compared to planets. The term "minor" distinguishes them from the larger, more traditional planets in our solar system.

A terabyte (TB) is equal to 1000 gigabytes (GB)

The asteroid belt is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter in our solar system. It consists of millions of rocky objects that range in size from small pebbles to large asteroids.

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Ceres can be calculated using Newton's law of gravitation: (g = \frac{G \times M}{R^2}), where (G) is the gravitational constant, (M) is the mass of Ceres, and (R) is the radius of Ceres. Plugging in the values gives (g ≈ 0.28 m/s^2).

Statistically none - or zero.

When an asteroid hits Earth - we know about it - or if it is large enough - we don't.

The last asteroid to "hit" Earth was about 3.3 million years ago and precedes numerous extinctions.

The asteroid belt is a vaguely elliptical band between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. This 'belt' contains different sizes of space rock and dust that is trapped in orbit between the two planets. The rocks within the belt tend to travel in loose clusters.

While collisions occur, the actual spacing between individual large asteroids can be measured in tens of thousands of kilometers. And while there may be more than a million asteroids over 1 km in diameter, their combined mass is only about twice that of the largest asteroid, the dwarf planet Ceres.

There is no standard unit called "kioletre." Millilitre (mL) is used to measure volume, where 1 millilitre is equal to 0.001 litres or 1 cubic centimetre. If "kioletre" is not a recognized unit, it cannot be compared to a millilitre.

DDT is a persistent organic pollutant with a half life of between 2-15 years, and is immobile in most soils. Its half life is 56 days in lake water and approximately 28 days in river water. Routes of loss and degradation include runoff, volatilization, photolysis and biodegradation (aerobic and anaerobic). These processes generally occur slowly. Breakdown products in the soil environment are DDE (1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-dichlorodiphenyl)ethylene) and DDD (1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane), which are also highly persistent and have similar chemical and physical properties. These products together are known as total DDT. DDT and its metabolic products DDE and DDD magnify through the food chain, with apex predators such as raptors having a higher concentration of the chemicals (stored mainly in body fat) than other animals sharing the same environment. In the United States, human blood and fat tissue samples collected in the early 1970s showed detectable levels in all samples. A later study of blood samples collected in the later half of the 1970s (after the U.S. DDT ban) showed that blood levels were declining further, but DDT or metabolites were still seen in a very high proportion of the samples. Biomonitoring conducted by the CDC as recently as 2002 shows that more than half of subjects tested had detectable levels of DDT or metabolites in their blood, and of the 700+ milk samples tested by the USDA in 2005, 85% had detectable levels of DDE. DDT is a toxicant across a certain range of phyla. In particular, DDT has been cited as a major reason for the decline of the bald eagle in the 1950s and 1960s as well as the peregrine falcon. DDT and its breakdown products are toxic to embryos and can disrupt calcium absorption thereby impairing egg-shell quality. Studies in the 1960s and 1970s failed to find a mechanism for the hypothesized thinning,however more recent studies in the 1990s and 2000s have laid the blame at the feet of DDE, but not all experts accept those claims. Some studies have shown that although DDE levels have fallen dramatically that eggshell thinness remains 10-12 percent thinner than pre-DDT thicknesses.In general, however, DDT in small quantities has very little effect on birds; its primary metabolite, DDE, has a much greater effect. DDT is also highly toxic to aquatic life, including crayfish, daphnids, sea shrimp and many species of fish. DDT may be moderately toxic to some amphibian species, especially in the larval stages. In addition to acute toxic effects, DDT may bioaccumulate significantly in fish and other aquatic species, leading to long-term exposure to high concentrations. http://www.answers.com/topic/ddt?cat=health

There have been rare cases of players sustaining fatal injuries during rugby matches, usually as a result of head or neck injuries. Safety measures and protocols are in place to minimize these risks, such as strict tackling rules and medical assessments for players. The rugby community continuously works to improve player safety and prevent such incidents.

that's actually the equator

The term "Things are looking up" wasn't really a saying, it was just a clue to who was Mr. McMahon's illigtimate son, which turned out to be Hornswoggle.

If the auto shoulder belt in your 1989 Toyota Cressida is not closing, there may be an issue with the belt retraction mechanism. Check for any obstructions or debris that may be preventing proper operation. If the issue persists, it is recommended to have the system inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and repair the problem.

The terminal velocity of a human in free fall is around 120 mph (190 km/h). At this speed, the force of air resistance pushing upward is equal to the force of gravity pulling downward, resulting in a stable descent.

An asteroid is larger than a meteoroid, though the actual size requirement is not defined.

There are no current public plans for what happens if an asteroid is on a confirmed collusion course with the earth by any government. Although many governments most notably the UK have commissioned companies to submit plans for the inevitable event. On the other hand it is widely believed that most governments have secret plans on what their government will do in the event.

Plans have circulated the scientific community about what to do. These plans include breaking the asteroid up with nuclear devices, despite the general consensus that asteroids are too dense for a nuclear device to do any damage and even if it does it will simply break the asteroid into several objects still on a collusion course. Other plans include pushing/diverting the asteroid with a variety objects including a laser beam to slowly push the asteroid.

Currently NASA tracks any object that is 700m or greater in diameter although plans are in the works to make that 70m. Another possibility that has been documented is that the Russians have 3 50 kiloton nuclear missles in silos strategically placed across siberia. although this approach would work it would send a debris cloud hurtling towards earth causing wide spread but minor damage.

A meteorite with a 1km diameter will undoubtedly cause global damage. It is believed that a meterite a bit larger was responsible for the extinction of dinosaurs. Rocks this big only appears to hit Earth once every 100 million years.

Despite moving through the rarified upper reaches of Earth's atmosphere the immense speed at which a meteor travels rapidly compresses the air in its path. The meteoroid then experiences what is known as ram pressure. As the air in front of the meteoroid is compressed its temperature quickly rises.

The Earth has undoubtedly been struck by many different asteroids over the past few billion years, though the signs of many have been eroded away by weather and geological changes. Among the more well known places of such collisions are the 110-mile Chicxulub Crater at the end of the Yucatán Peninsula (which ended the dinosaurs), the 4,000-foot wide Meteor Crater in Arizona, and the site of the Tunguska River from the overhead detonation of an asteroid in 1908.

There is no specific asteroid named "Abai" that is widely recognized or recorded in scientific literature. It is possible that "Abai" may refer to a fictional asteroid or a lesser-known one that has not been extensively studied or categorized.

Pieces of space debris that are smaller than the smallest asteroid are commonly referred to as "space junk" or "microdebris." These can include fragments of satellites, rocket parts, or even paint flecks that have broken off from larger objects in space. Despite their small size, they can still pose a threat to spacecraft and satellites due to their high speeds and the potential for collisions.

No, asteroids are not strange balls of light that appear from nowhere. They are rocky, irregularly shaped objects that orbit the Sun, primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Occasionally, when an asteroid enters Earth's atmosphere, it may create a brilliant fireball known as a meteor.

Most of the asteroids within our solar system can be found within the Asteroid Belt. Located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, the Asteroid Belt consists of millions of individual asteroids of varying sizes - from a speck of dust to hundreds of kilometers in diameter. The largest object within the belt is a dwarf planet - Ceres - which has a mass of 9.47x1020kg and a diameter of 476.2km.

C: they are carbonaceous---made of silicate materials with a lot of carbon compounds so they appear very dark. They reflect only 3 to 4% of the sunlight hitting them. You can tell what they are made of by analyzing the spectra of sunlight reflecting off of them. This reflectance spectra shows that they are primitive, unchanged since they first solidified about 4.6 billion years ago. A sizable fraction of the asteroids are of this type. The asteroid called Mathilde, explored by the NEAR spacecraft is an example of this type.

The main difference between an asteroid and a meteoroid is size. Asteroids are larger objects, typically measuring more than 10 meters in diameter, while meteoroids are smaller, ranging from a few meters down to dust-sized particles. Additionally, asteroids are usually found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, while meteoroids can be found in various places, including the asteroid belt, as well as comets or other sources.
