Answer:

Meteoroid , meteor and meteorite

Explanation:

A meteoroid is a small rocky or metallic body travelling through space.  Most are fragments from comets or asteroids

The visible streak of light from space debris is the result of heat as it enters a planet's atmosphere, and the trail of glowing particles that it sheds in its wake is called a meteor, or colloquially a "shooting star" or "falling star". A series of many meteors appearing seconds or minutes apart, and appearing to originate from the same fixed point in the sky, is called a meteor shower. Incoming objects larger than several meters (asteroids or comets) can explode in the air. If a meteoroid, comet or asteroid or a piece thereof withstands ablation from its atmospheric entry and impacts with the ground, then it is called a meteorite.

A car travelled a distance of 200 m with initial velocity of 216 km/hr. Calculate the acceleration
pogonyaev

Answer:

a = 16\ m/s^2

Explanation:

When the velocity changes uniformly, the object has a constant acceleration. The acceleration, the velocities, and the distance are related by the equation:

v_f^2=v_o^2+2ax

Where:

vf = final velocity

vo = initial velocity

a = acceleration

x = distance

Solving for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f^2-v_o^2}{2x}

The car travels a distance of x=200 m and the velocities are:

vo = 216 Km/h

vf = 360 Km/h

Both velocities must be converted to meters by seconds.

vo = 216 Km/h *1000/3600 = 60 m/s

vf = 360 Km/h *1000/3600 = 100 m/s

The acceleration is:

\displaystyle a=\frac{100^2-60^2}{2*200}

\displaystyle a=\frac{10000-3600}{400}

\displaystyle a=\frac{6400}{400}

\mathbf{a = 16\ m/s^2}

Answer:

Speed is a measure of how quickly an object moves from one place to another. It is equal to the distance traveled divided by the time.

What is the critical angle for the interface between water and light flint? nflint= 1.58, nwater=1.33?
Angelina_Jolie [31]
When light crosses the interface between a medium with higher refractive index and a medium with lower refractive index, there is a maximum value of the angle of incidence after which there is no refraction, but all the light is reflected, and this maximum value is called critical angle.

The critical angle is given by
\theta_C = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )
where n1 is the refractive index of the first medium while n2 is the refractive index of the second medium. In our problem, n1=1.33 and n2=1.58, so the critical angle is
\theta_C = \arcsin ( \frac{1.33}{1.58} )=57.3 ^{\circ}

After a nucleus undergoes radioactive decay, its new mass number is:
Ivanshal [37]
Radioactive "decay" means particles and stuff shoot OUT of a nucleus.
After that happens, there's less stuff in the nucleus than there was before.
So the new mass number is always less than the original mass number.
