Yesterday you came up with a plan if the meteor heading for the space station had a greater mass. What difference do you think it would make if it had less mass yet a greater speed?

I think The space station would move faster towards the meteor and that means that the space station would have less time to move out of the way.
Well, it might still be enough to destroy the station because Newton's second law states that f=ma so even if it has less mass it's new acceleration might be able to give the meteor the same force as when it had more mass. So to answer the question, not really much of a difference.
It would almost be the same thing, you would just need to make it so that the device that pushed the meteorite, would have less mass but make it faster.
I think it depends on how much mass it lost and how much acceleration has increased. If it lost 3 kg and increased 70 m/s, I think it would still impact the earth, but in a smaller area.
depends if the speed makes up for the mass, or if the mass of it, was the mass of a pebble.if the mass was equal to the mass of a pebble it would break a window or just bounce off but if the speed made up for the mass same out come the station would crumble.
If the meteor had less mass but more speed then it would have less direction, and also it would be able to accelerate more toward the space station. The speed of the meteor would leave the space station less time to move.
The meteor will go a distance and make it so the space station will be displaced from where it was before. The meteor will go fast and the space station will go at a slow pace and if the meteor collided with the space station it will be destroyed
You really think that copying is okay? Well it isn't! Take some responsibility and make your own comment. You will get nowhere if you copy off of someone.
Gareth, make your own comment. It isn't hard to write a few sentences. It is a shame you continuously copy people. YOU WON'T GET FAR IN LIFE WITH COPYING!!
Thats my point!! school prepares you for life and if you blow of school then you won;t be able to have the skills you need to get through life, you miss out on a wonderful oppurtinity

It'd make a big difference, though I'm not exacty sure what difference it would make. More speed would mean more damage, but smaller mass, I'm not sure at all. They DO say little, but powerful, and I suppose that would apply to this, though I'm not positive.
I think that the difference would be that the meteor wouldn't hit the space station, since the meteor has less mass and greater speed. IF the space station was going to slower than yesterday, then the space station wouldn't get hit.
It would be most likely that sense the meteor is going faster it would be harder for the space station to move. It will most likely hit the space station.😄
If it had less mass it would be less harmful in a way because if the meteor had a greater mass it would be bigger but with the less mass it would be smaller. And there might be a way that the meteor could move because of all the wind it's going against to get to Earth.
If the meteor had a less mass, but more speed then the means that the meteor will be harder to avoid, and you will also have to move faster. Though it does have a less mass, if it does hit the space station it will not hurt as bad as it would with grater mass.
Well, say it was 100 yards wide and was traveling at 2,000 mph. The speed would affect the damage as well as the mass. Although the mass is not as big, The speed would use Newton's Third Law and bounce off of it, making the Space Station bounce off, into another orbit, hit another meteor, and destroy it even more. Another way it could happen is if it hits the middle or somewhere near the middle, the space station would split in two, causing the scpae station to crash into another meteor or even maybe the same one if THAT meteor hit another one, it could bounce back and hit the Sapce Station again.
If a meteor with less mass was going faster into the space station will not damage the space station badly. Even though it is going faster it is still smaller.
Well if it was faster but smaller it probably would be easier to blow it up and fly in the other direction. and not have to make the entire asteroid hit the station

I think it might go faster, but have less direction of where its going and more displacement.

That's just what I think anyway.
I would think it would go faster and crash into something.

I think that with all of the mass lost that it would be lighter. It would go faster and smack the earth with destruction, but in a smaller area.

YOU COPIER THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS QUARTER!!!!

KK please don't copy me it's annoying.

i would reather go no where then stay here
It would have less direction if it had more speed and less mass.
Yeah but kk what happens when you leave school? you go now where but downwards.
Gareth, make your own comment. It isn't hard to write a few sentences. It is a shame you continuously copy people. YOU WON'T GET FAR IN LIFE WITH COPYING!!
I would think it would go faster and crash into something.
Thanks Sam <3
what eves
i didn't use science terms oops....
sigh.....
what ever its just life
Don't copy.
Thats my point!! school prepares you for life and if you blow of school then you won;t be able to have the skills you need to get through life, you miss out on a wonderful oppurtinity
I gave her (you) credit...
You?
Really evan!!
Jasmine M I think it would go faster and possibly do more damage when it crashed.
I think it would be easier to move the meteor but it would still to damage to the space station because of its speed.
The greater speed would give you less time to change directions and avoid the meteor, but the meteor with less mass would make less of an impact.
I think it would go faster and crash.
It would go super fast and even those super lasers I mentioned yesterday wouldn't do nothing against this cray cray stuff.
It would be super fast.
I think it would go faster.
I think that it would hit the space station with the same hit.
I think the meteor would make less of an impact on the space station than it would if it had a greater mass.
I guess the meteor would be easier to move, but it you wouldn't have too much time to change the course of the meteor.
i think would still crash in to something.
I think it would pick up speed and crash

I would think it would go faster and crash into something.
No, It would not make a difference unless you count the smaller but deeper hole in the earth.
it would do a lot more damage
it would fall into to earth and kill 100's of people.
I think it would go less far into the space station and it would still make an impact.
More of an impact*
i think that it would take less speed to go in to the space station
loganm
No difference I think.
It would make a huge difference. The meteor would be moving much faster.
I would say no difference
I think it would go faster.
It wouldn't make any difference. there would be the same amount of damage
The meteor would move faster, so it'd make a big difference
It would make a difference but i don't know what???
It would cause more damage.
It'd make a big difference, though I'm not exacty sure what difference it would make. More speed would mean more damage, but smaller mass, I'm not sure at all. They DO say little, but powerful, and I suppose that would apply to this, though I'm not positive.
their would be a greater collision like meteors on earth
The meteor would be hardier to stop because of the speed and the size, but the impact would probably be the same.
why am i required to do this I'm stupid i should be i 2nd grade
I think it would hit it but it would reduce the speed but it would still hit it and send it toward Earth.
Tim could you change your name? Like ever??
I think that the difference would be that the meteor wouldn't hit the space station, since the meteor has less mass and greater speed. IF the space station was going to slower than yesterday, then the space station wouldn't get hit.
The meteor would move faster, so it'd make a big difference
if it had less mass then it might just go right though still so you would still have to move but you would have less time to move
It'd affect less area but do more damage to the area it does affect.
It would probably go way faster and make more damage. you would have less time to help yourself.
You would still need to move but you have less time

it would go faster - desi

The meteor will go to a greater speed because of the size but wouldn't have the same mass as the space station.

What I think would happen is that it would go through the station like a bullet because of the less resistance from the air.
If a meteor with less mass was going faster into the space station will not damage the space station badly. Even though it is going faster it is still smaller.
Well if it was faster but smaller it probably would be easier to blow it up and fly in the other direction. and not have to make the entire asteroid hit the station
