A passenger jet flying at cruising altitude is often traveling in the upper troposphere at approximately 725 km per hour (or 450

mph). Why don't passenger jets burn up as meteors do?

Explanation:

Objects like meteors travel at high rates of the speed and thus, possess large amounts of the kinetic energy.  As the meteors enter Mesosphere, they enter more dense segment of earth's atmosphere with the greater numbers of the gas molecules.  Meteors which encounter the large numbers of the gas molecules at the high rates of the speed and generate large amounts of the friction in process. As a result, enormous heat is built up. This build-up of heat  ultimately causes the fast-traveling meteors to burn up in atmosphere.

<u>While passenger jets travel at very small speed as compared with the speed of the meteors and don not burn. </u>

kap26 [50]

Answer:

the correct answer is d

Explanation:

The laws of mechanics are related

          F = m a

the acceleration of the body is given by the kinematics

         a = \frac{dv}{dt}

         v = \frac{dx}{dt}

         

substituting

         a = \frac{d2x}{dt^2}

         F = m \frac{d^2x}{dt^2}

Therefore, in order to obtain the force (interaction of a body), continuous curves are needed and derivable from the position and the speed, for which all change in the trajectory of a body must be smooth where smooth is understood to have until the second derived.

Consequently the correct answer is d

Over [174]

Answer:

minimum angle is 128.69°

Explanation:

given data

player velocity with respect ground v1 = 3.5 m/s

ball velocity with respect himself v2 = 5.6 m/s

to find out

smallest angle

solution

we know ball velocity with respect field will be

ball velocity = v1  +v2

ball velocity = 3.5 + 5.6 = 9.1m/s

we consider angle that player hit ball is θ

then by as per figure triangle

cosθ = \frac{v1}{v2}

cosθ = \frac{3.5}{5.6}

θ = 51.31

so minimum angle is 180 - 51.31 = 128.69°

The medium through which a mechanical wave passes can be a solid, liquid, or gas. Properties of a wave change when it moves from
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Mechanical waves requires some medium to travel through. They travel faster in the dense medium as compared to a free medium.

The speed of a mechanical wave is fastest in the solid medium and the slowest in the gaseous medium. Hence, as the wave traverses from gaseous medium to the solid medium, its speed increases.

Thus, option A is correct
