question 2
Satellite
Crash 1
Crash 2
Black Asteroid: more mass
Slowed down by 2 km/s
Gray Asteroid: less mass
Slowed down by 2 km/s
1. A satellite was in two separate crashes. In both crashes, the satellite had the same mass. Engineers want to know
about the speed and direction of the satellite after the crashes. Why would the crash affect the motion of the
satellite, and which crash caused a greater change in motion for the satellite?

Ibelieve that the correct answer is: c. along plate boundaries

Answertraveling around a circular trackexplanation"traveling around a circular track" is the best answer as you could be traveling around a circular track at a constant speed. your velocity would therefore have the same magnitude but will always be constantly direction. since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, the rate of change will only involve the direction of velocity and not the magnitude.wrong choices: "an object at rest" does not accelerate at all"increasing speed while traveling around a curve" means that the acceleration will not be constant due to only change in direction; it will be constant due to both magnitude and direction"an object in free fall" does not necessarily change direction
