Why is evidence of meteorite impact rare on earth, despite the fact that meteoroids often pass into earth's atmosphere?

1 answer:

5 0

The fact is your rooftop is covered with dust particles from meteorites. Outerspace is full of debris. Every day, thousands of meteorites invade our home but thanks to atmosphere for keeping us safe from them :D
When these meteorites enter our atmosphere, they experience resistance to the particles present in our atmosphere. As a result they catch fire(and eventually melts) and lose all their energy before falling on the surface. This happens with very small sized meteorites but when bigger ones enter, they surely hit the surface because they are difficult to melt.
Thanks to Jupiter for saving us from asteroids. Bigger ones rarely enters our atmosphere because of Jupiter's gravitational pull. It lures all the debris towards itself (:

Answer:

Yes, if the system has friction, the final result is affected by the loss of energy.

Explanation:

The result that you are showing is the conservation of mechanical energy between two points in the upper one, the energy is only potential and the lower one is only kinetic.

In the case of some type of friction, the change in energy between the same points is equal to the work of the friction forces

$W_{fr}$ = ΔEm

$W_{fr}$ = $Em_{f}$ -Em₀

As we can see now there is another quantity and for which the final energy is lower and therefore the final speed would be less than what you found in the case without friction.

$Em_{f}$ = $W_{fr}$ + Em₀

Remember that the work of the rubbing force is negative, let's write the work of the rubbing force explicitly, to make it clearer

½ m v² = -fr d + mgh

v = √(-fr d 2/m + 2 gh)

v = √ (2gh - 2fr d/m)

Now it is clear that there is a decrease in the final body speed.

Consequently, if the system has friction, the final result is affected by the loss of energy.

Two objects, m1 = 0.6 kg and m2 = 4.4 kg undergo a one-dimensional head-on collision

Sidana [21]

a) The velocity after the collision.is 11.456 m/s.

b) The kinetic energy lost due to the collision is 44.564 J.

<h3>What is conservation of momentum principle?</h3>

When two bodies of different masses move together each other and have head on collision, they travel to same or different direction after collision.

The external force is not acting here, so the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum. For inelastic collision, final velocity is the common velocity for both the bodies.

m₁u₁ +m₂u₂ =(m₁ +m₂) v

Given are the two objects, m1 = 0.6 kg and m2 = 4.4 kg undergo a one-dimensional head-on collision. Their initial velocities along the one-dimension path are vi1 = 32.4 m/s [right] and vi2 = 8.6 m/s [left].

(a) Substitute the values, then the final velocity will be

0.6 x32.4 +4.4 x 8.6 = (0.6+4.4)v

v = 11.456 m/s

Thus, the velocity after collision is 11.456 m/s.

(b) Kinetic energy lost due to collision will be the difference between the kinetic energy before and after collision.

= [1/2m₁u₁² +1/2m₂u₂² ] - [1/2(m₁ +m₂) v²]

Substitute the value, we have

= [1/2 x 0.6 x32.4² + 1/2 x4.4 x 8.6²] - [1/2 x(0.6+4.4)11.456²]

= 44.564 J

Thus, the kinetic energy lost due to the collision is 44.564 J.

How to solve 30(a)<br><br> Give solution asap.

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

They will not meet

h-hX=1.2*g*t²

hX=v0*t-(1/2*g*t²)

Explanation:

fall h=1/2*g*t²

elevation time if v0=20 m/s te=v0/g=20 m/s /9.81 m/s²=2.0387s

hmax=v0²/(2*g)=(400 m²/s²)/19.62 m/s²2=20.387 m

free fall

t=2.0387s yields hX=1/2*g*t²=20.387 m

h-hX=200m - 20.387 m=179,613 m.

so, the second body has not enough initianoal speed to reach a meeting point

Which of the following statements are true about the lenses used in eyeglasses to correct nearsightedness and farsightedness? (T

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

A: They produce a real image.

Explanation:

The images formed on the retina of the eye for a normal visibility must always be real.

Only a real image can be physically projected on any physical object whereas the virtual images are visible due to reflections.

The nearsightedness is corrected with the help of a concave lens since it is the condition of the eye lens remaining thick and curved to converge the rays entering the eyes after a shorter distance which results in their image formation even before the retinal surface so to initially diverge them a bit so that they converge on the retinal surface and form the image there we use concave lens. Vice-versa of the above justification in the case of farsightedness.
