Question

THIS IS NOT A WRITING ASSIGNMENT ITS A FILL IN THE BLANK AND MCQ PLEASE HELP THANK YOU 

 

You may also find the Torino Impact Hazard Scale chart useful. An online version is available here: https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/sentry/torino_scale.html

Fill in the BLANKS as in the example below. Make sure to write in a NUMBER for the first blank. Note that the Torino scale chart axes are on a ‘’logarithmic’’ scale.

EXAMPLE ANSWER (answers are already written in) Based on the The Torino Scale diagram below, if the DIAMETER of a meteor is 10 m and the COLLISION PROBABILITY is 1 in 1,000,000 then the TORINO SCALE VALUE would be (fill in a number from 0 to 10) "0" and the CONSEQUENCE would be (write in either Global, Regional, Local or No Consequence) "No Consequence"

 

19)Based on the The Torino Scale diagram below, if the DIAMETER of a meteor is 101 m the COLLISION PROBABILITY is 1 in 100,000 then the TORINO SCALE VALUE would be (fill in a number from 0 to 10) "      " and the CONSEQUENCE would be (write in either Global, Regional, Local or No Consequence)"       "

20)Based on the The Torino Scale diagram below, if the DIAMETER of a meteor is 4.5 km and the COLLISION PROBABILITY is 1 in 100,000,000 then the TORINO SCALE VALUE would be (fill in a number from 0 to 10)"       " and the CONSEQUENCE would be (write in either Global, Regional, Local or No Consequence)"       "

 

21) Based on your answers from questions 19 through 20 most of the events fell in which category listed below. 

a) Events having no likely consequences

b) Events meriting careful monitoring

c) Events meriting concern

d) Threatening events

e) Certain collisions

In Module 2.7 we learn about the 'Risk of Small Solar System Bodies to Humans". The
following questions are designed to familiarize you with the Torino scale (described in
Module 2.7). When answering, make sure to note that the Torino Scale chart is
"logarithmic" (ie. the x and y axes increase in powers of 10).
