Hey there! 

<span>Scientists know that seismic waves can be either compressional or transverse because there are horizontal and vertical movements during an earthquake. Horizontal movements are compressional while vertical movements are transverse. 

Thank you!</span>

If a car's engine gives off 65% thermal energy, what is the maximum efficiency?
stich3 [128]

Answer:

35%

Explanation:

The car's engine gives off 65% thermal energy

So only 35 % is converted into mechanical energy .

input heat = Q₁ = 100

output heat = Q₂ = 65

Work output = Q₁ - Q₂ = W

W = 100 - 65 = 35

Efficiency = W / Q₁ X 100

= (35/ 100) X 100

= 35%.

A large meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere at a speed of 20.0 km/s and is not significantly slowed before entering the ocea
Shalnov [3]

The shock wave from the meteoroid in the lower atmosphere has a Mach angle of 0.948°.

(a) The meteoroid's speed v_s=20 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s}

$=20 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$

Air sound wave speed &v=331 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \\

Speed of the shock wave in Mach &\qquad \theta=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{v}{v_s}\right)

                                                            $$\begin{aligned}&=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{331 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}}{20 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}}\right) \\&=0.948^{\circ}\end{aligned}$$

Hence, 0.948° is the Mach angle of the shock wave from the meteoroid in the lower atmosphere.

<h3>What is the speed of the meteoroid?</h3>

A meteoroid's speed can be loosely broken down into three categories: slow, medium, and fast.

  • Slow meteors move around the sun at a leisurely pace of about 32 kilometers per second (20 miles per second).
  • Medium-speed meteors travel around the sun at approximately 50 kilometers per second (30 miles per second),
  • while fast meteors zoom past at over 120 kilometers per second (75 miles per second)!
