Asteroids are most likely to be a. remnants of the early solar system. b. former moons of jupiter. c. the remains of a shattered planet. d. captured comets.

Option (A)

Explanation:

The asteroids are the rocky materials that are present abundantly in space. They are found primarily in the asteroid belt where there are millions of asteroids and frequent collision takes place in this belt. These asteroids revolves around the sun. These asteroids are of various sizes, ranging from small pieces into large mass that can cause tremendous effect to earth. These asteroids are the left overs of the early solar system, which got scattered in space soon after the formation of the universe.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

see the picture for the vector

the magnitude of the vector by pythagorean theorem

r = √( (-10)^2 + (3)^2 ) = √109

magnitude = √109 units

the direction angle between vector and x-axis is

tan^(-1)(3/10) = 16.699

so the direction is approximately 16.7 degrees north of west
