A meteor is the flash of light that we see in the night sky when a small chunk of interplanetary debris burns up as it passes through our atmosphere. "Meteor" refers to the flash of light caused by the debris, not the debris itself.
If any part of a meteoroid survives the fall through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite.
Answer:
C. An inital volocity that is faster than the final volocity
Explanation:
.
Answer:
Option d
The minimum angular separation between two objects that the Hubble Space Telescope can resolve is
.
Explanation:
The resulting image in a telescope that will be gotten from an object is a diffraction pattern instead of a perfect point (point spread function (PSF)).
That diffraction pattern is gotten because the light encounters different obstacles on its path inside the telescope (interacts with the walls and edges of the instrument).
The diffraction pattern is composed by a central disk, called Airy disk, and diffraction rings.
The angular resolution is defined as the minimal separation at which two sources can be resolved one for another, or in other words, when the distance between the two diffraction pattern maxima is greater than the radius of the Airy disk.
The angular resolution can be determined in analytical way by means of the Rayleigh criterion.
(1)
Where
is the wavelength and D is the diameter of the telescope.
Notice that it is necessary to express the wavelength in the same units than the diameter.
⇒
Finally, equation 1 can be used.
Hence, the minimum angular separation between two objects that the Hubble Space Telescope can resolve is
.
The coefficient of static friction is 0.234.
Answer:
Explanation:
Frictional force is equal to the product of coefficient of friction and normal force acting on any object.
So here the mass of the object is given as 2 kg, so the normal force will be acting under the influence of acceleration due to gravity.
Normal force = mass * acceleration due to gravity
Normal force = 2 * 9.8 = 19.6 N.
And the frictional force is given as 4.6 N, then

Coefficient of static friction = 4.6 N / 19.6 N = 0.234
So the coefficient of static friction is 0.234.
The
two precipitation peaks in Mbandaka during March to April and September to
November is due to the intertropical convergence zone.
Intertropical
convergence zone is a narrow zone located near the equator. It is where the
northern and southern air masses intersect which results to low atmospheric
pressure. Due to the intertropical convergence zone’s meeting of air masses,
often times the air pressure are lower which will results to colder air, or
even rainfall during the period of March to April, and most especially
September to November in Mbandaka.
<span>Since
Mbandaka is located at the cented of Tumba-Ngiri-Maindombe area, which is named
as a Wetland of International importance, there is really a bigger chance that
this place experience above 60mm precipitation in a year, temperatures averaging
from 23 – 26 degrees Celsius.</span>
