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

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 (:

Differences between Light year and Cosmic year in two points
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

A cosmic year is 365.25 days, some times called a side real year and is just the time it takes for us to go round the sun once.

A light year is the distance light travels in a year. Now light travels at about 186,262 miles a Second! Which is not slow by any ones book.

An experiment was conducted just after Christmas a few years ago. Two girls were selected from the audience and went into two phone boxes a few feet apart. They could only hear each other via the phones. The phone call went to a ground station about 200 miles away, then up to a geostationary coms satellite, back to a ground station 1/3 of the way around the world, then repeated, with a third satellite before being sent from another ground station back to London and the other phone box. We the audience could hear both sides of the conversation from both boxes. And could hear the delay between sending and receiving. So even at the speed of light, there was about 1.5 seconds of delay. So because distances in space are so vast that saying a star is x millions of miles away causes problems, you run out of zero’s! So our nearest other star is about 4.5 light years away. Our sun (our nearest start) is about 8 light minuets away. Varies slightly as our orbit is not 100% cirular.

I HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL.

1. Two forces F~ 1 and F~ 2 are acting on a block of mass m=1.5 kg. The magnitude of force F~ 1 is 12N and it makes an angle of
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Normal force=7.48 N

Explanation:

N+F~1 sinθ-mg=0

=>N=1.5*9.8-12 sin37◦

=>N=14.7-7.22=7.48 N

Answer:

\alpha =-2.2669642\times^{-10}rad/s^2

Explanation:

Angular acceleration is defined by \alpha =\frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{\Delta t}

Angular velocity is related to the period by \omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}

Putting all together:

\alpha =\frac{\frac{2\pi}{T_f}-\frac{2\pi}{T_i}}{\Delta t}=\frac{2\pi}{\Delta t}(\frac{1}{T_f}-\frac{1}{T_i})

Taking our initial (i) point now and our final (f) point one year later, we would have:

\Delta t=1\ year=(365)(24)(60)(60)s=31536000
s

T_i=0.0786s

T_f=0.0786s+7.03\times10^{-6}s

So for our values we have:

\alpha =\frac{2\pi}{\Delta t}(\frac{1}{T_f}-\frac{1}{T_i})=\frac{2\pi}{31536000s}(\frac{1}{0.0786s+7.03\times10^{-6}s}-\frac{1}{0.0786s})=-2.2669642\times^{-10}rad/s^2

Where the minus sign indicates it is decelerating.
