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)!

Does uranium use steam?
Neko [114]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Reactors use uranium for nuclear fuel. The uranium is processed into small ceramic pellets and stacked together onto sealed metal tubes called fuel rods. The heat created by fission turns the water into steam.

A force of 5 n produces an acceleration of 8m/s2 in mass m1 and an acceleration of 24 m/s2 in mass m2 .what acceleration would i
Inessa [10]

Acceleration of the both masses tied together= 6m/s²

Explanation:

The force is given by F= ma

so 5= m1 (8)

m1=0.625 Kg

for m2

5=m2 (24)

m2=0.208 kg

now total mass= m1+m2=0.625+0.208

Total mass=M=0.833 Kg

now F= ma

5= 0.833 (a)

a= 5/0.833

a=6m/s²
