Answer:

When meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere (or that of another planet, like Mars) at high speed and burn up, the fireballs or “shooting stars” are called meteors. When a meteoroid survives a trip through the atmosphere and hits the ground, it's called a meteorite.

Answer: Meteoroid: Small particle from a comet or asteroid orbiting the Sun. Meteor: The light phenomena which results from a meteoroid entering the Earth's atmosphere and vaporizing; this is basically a shooting star. Meteorite: A meteoroid that survives through the Earth's atmosphere and lands on the Earth's surface.

A 12.0 khz, 16.0 v source connected to an inductor produces a 4.00 a current. what is the inductance?

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Inductive reactance (Z) = ω L = 2Πf L = (2Π) (12,000) (L)

I = V / Z

4 A = 16v / (24,000Π L)

Multiply each side by (24,000 Π L):

96,000 Π L = 16v

Divide each side by (96,000 Π) :

L = 16 / 96,000Π = 5.305 x 10⁻⁵ Henry

L = 53.05 microHenry

A 10.0-kg box starts at rest on a level floor. An external, horizontal force of 2.00 × 102 N is applied to the box for a distanc

Harman [31]

Answer:

vf = 11.2 m/s

Explanation:

m = 10 Kg

F = 2*10² N

x = 4.00 m

μ = 0.44

vi = 0 m/s

vf = ?

We can apply Newton's 2nd Law

∑ Fx = m*a (→)

F - Ffriction = m*a ⇒ F - (μ*N) = F - (μ*m*g) = m*a ⇒ a = (F - μ*m*g)/m

⇒ a = (2*10² N - 0.44*10 Kg*9.81 m/s²)/10 Kg = 15.6836 m/s²

then , we use the equation

vf² = vi² + 2*a*x ⇒ vf = √(vi² + 2*a*x)

⇒ vf = √((0)² + 2*(15.6836 m/s²)*(4.00m)) = 11.2 m/s

The gauge pressure at the bottom of a cylinder of liquid is 0.30atm. The liquid is poured into another cylinder with twice the r

likoan [24]

Answer:

$P_g' = 0.075 atm$

Explanation:

Gauge pressure at the bottom of the cylinder depends on the height of water in the cylinder

So here we can say that

$P_g = \rho g h$

now when liquid is filled to height "h" in base area "A" then gauge pressure of the liquid at the bottom is given as

$P_g = 0.30 atm$

now we put the whole liquid into another cylinder with twice radius of the first cylinder

So area becomes 4 times

now by volume conservation we can say that if area is increased by 4 times then height of liquid will decrease by 4 times

so we have

$h' = \frac{h}{4}$

so gauge pressure is given as

$P_g' = \frac{0.30}{4} = 0.075 atm$

The force of air resistance acts to oppose the motion of an object moving through the air. A ball is thrown upward and eventuall

ozzi

Answer:

For a (1) net force will be greater than the weight of the ball

For b (2) net force will be lesser than the weight of the ball

Explanation:

For (a):

For a linear motion of a system, one must have to understand, according to Newtons first law of motion, which is also known as law of inertia, a body which is at motion will continue to move or a body at rest will continue to rest until an external force is applied to it. In the given case, when ball goes upward, one thing is for sure, the net force is greater than the weight of the ball, because three forces are applied during upward motion:

gravity or weight which is pulling the ball downward,

air resistance, which is also acting downward as it is creating friction between ball and air molecules, so creating hindrance in upward motion

External force to throw ball upward

Net Force = Upward force - Air friction - Weight

Since ball is going upward, so net force is greater than both weight and air friction which are pulling ball downward.

For (b):

For a linear motion of a system, one must have to understand, according to Newtons first law of motion, which is also known as law of inertia, a body which is at motion will continue to move or a body at rest will continue to rest until an external force is applied to it. In the given case, when ball goes downward, one thing is for sure, the net force is lesser than the weight of the ball, because two forces are applied during downward motion:

gravity or weight which is pulling the ball downward,

air resistance, which is acting upward as it is creating friction between ball and air molecules, so creating hindrance in downward motion

Net Force = Weight - Air friction

Since ball is going downward, so weight is greater than net force which is in this case is air friction which is pulling ball upward.
