The shock wave from the meteoroid in the lower atmosphere has a Mach angle of 0.948°.

(a) The meteoroid's speed v_s=20 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s}

$=20 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$

Air sound wave speed &v=331 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \\

Speed of the shock wave in Mach &\qquad \theta=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{v}{v_s}\right)

                                                            $$\begin{aligned}&=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{331 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}}{20 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}}\right) \\&=0.948^{\circ}\end{aligned}$$

Hence, 0.948° is the Mach angle of the shock wave from the meteoroid in the lower atmosphere.

<h3>What is the speed of the meteoroid?</h3>

A meteoroid's speed can be loosely broken down into three categories: slow, medium, and fast.

  • Slow meteors move around the sun at a leisurely pace of about 32 kilometers per second (20 miles per second).
  • Medium-speed meteors travel around the sun at approximately 50 kilometers per second (30 miles per second),
  • while fast meteors zoom past at over 120 kilometers per second (75 miles per second)!

A transformer has a primary coil with 375 turns of wire and a secondary coil with 1,875 turns. An AC voltage source connected ac
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

The rms voltage (in V) measured across the secondary coil is 459.62 V

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns in the primary coil, Np = 375 turns

number of turns in the secondary coil, Ns = 1875 turns

peak voltage across the primary coil, Ep = 130 V

peak voltage across the secondary coil, Es = ?

\frac{N_P}{N_s} = \frac{E_p}{E_s} \\\\E_s = \frac{N_sE_p}{N_p} \\\\E_s = \frac{1875*130}{375} \\\\E_s = 650 \ V

The rms voltage (in V) measured across the secondary coil is calculated as;

V_{rms} = \frac{V_0}{\sqrt{2} } = \frac{E_s}{\sqrt{2} } \\\\V_{rms} = \frac{650}{\sqrt{2} } = 459.62 \ V

Therefore, the rms voltage (in V) measured across the secondary coil is 459.62 V

An ice skater starts with a velocity of 2.25 m/s in a 50.0 degree direction. After 8.33s, she is moving 4.65 m/s in a 120 degree
Mnenie [13.5K]

The y-component of the acceleration is 0.22 m/s^2

Explanation:

The y-component of the acceleration is given by

a_y = \frac{v_y-u_y}{t}

where

v_y is the y-component of the final velocity

u_y is the y-component of the initial velocity

t is the time elapsed

For the ice skater in this problem, we have:

u = 2.25 m/s is the initial velocity, in a direction \theta=50.0^{\circ}

v = 4.65 m/s is the final velocity, in a direction 120^{\circ}

t = 8.33 s is the time elapsed

The y-components of the initial and final velocity are:

u_y = u sin \theta = (2.25)(sin 50^{\circ})=1.72 m/s\\v_y = v sin \theta = (4.65)(sin 50^{\circ})=3.56 m/s

So the y-component of the acceleration is

a_y = \frac{3.56-1.72}{8.33}=0.22 m/s^2

A roadrunner is running along a straight desert road at a constant velocity of 25 m/s. If a certain coyote wants to capture the
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

t = 1.42 s and d = 35.5 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of a roadrunner is 25 m/s

A certain coyote wants to capture the roadrunner using a net dropped from an overpass that is 10 m high.

We need to find the time before the roadrunner is under the overpass and  how far away from the overpass is the roadrunner when the coyote drops the net.

d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\\text{Here, u = 0 and a = g}\\\\d=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2d}{g}} \\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 10}{9.8}} \\\\t=1.42\ s

Let d is the distance traveled. So,

d = vt

d = 25 m/s × 1.42 s

d = 35.5 m

"5 N, up" is an example of a ___.<br> OA) force<br> OB) mass<br> OC) weight<br> OD) magnitude
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

A) Force

Explanation:

It is an example of force since force is a vector quantity so it has magnitude and direction. In this case the magnitude is equal to 5 [N] and the direction is upward.

The weight can not be, as it always acts downward.

Mass is not a force, its unit is given usually in kilogram [kg]
