Infrared waves are used in heat lamps and other heat sensing devices. Infrared waves or commonly known as Infrared radiations (IR) is the type of electromagnetic radiation we encounter most in our everyday life. Heat lamps are electrical devices which emit infrared radiation.

Find the westward component of a resultant vector 85.42 unit, 23 degrees W of N

Sindrei [870]

Since the angle is West of North, therefore to find for the westward component (horizontal component) of the vector, we use the sin function:

sin θ = opposite side / hypotenuse = westward component / resultant vector

So the westward component (x) is:

x = 85.42 sin 23

a) $4.62\cdot 10^{14} J$

b) 0.110 megatons

c) 8.46 bombs

Explanation:

The energy lost by the meteorite is equal to the difference between its final kinetic energy and its initial kinetic energy:

$\Delta K=K_f-K_i$

Which can be rewritten as:

$\Delta K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2$

where:

$m=3.2\cdot 10^6 kg$ is the mass of the meteorite

$v=0$ is the final speed of the meteorite

$u=17 km/s = 17,000 m/s$ is the initial speed of the meteorite

Substituting the values into the equation, we found the loss in energy of the meteorite:

$\Delta K=0-\frac{1}{2}(3.2\cdot 10^6)(17000)^2=-4.62\cdot 10^{14} J$

So, the energy lost by the meteorite is $4.62\cdot 10^{14} J$

The energy equivalent to 1 megaton of TNT is

$E_{TNT}=4.2\cdot 10^{15} J$

Here the energy lost by the meteorite is

$E=4.62\cdot 10^{14} J$

Therefore, in order to write the energy lost by the meteorite as a multiple of the energy of 1 megaton of TNT, we have to divide the energy lost by the meteorite by the energy equivalent to 1 TNT; we find:

$\frac{E}{E_{TNT}}=\frac{4.62\cdot 10^{14}}{4.2\cdot 10^{15}}=0.110$
