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.

Answer:

The resultant velocity is $v_t=10 knots$

Explanation:

Apply the law of conservation of momentum

$M_L *v_L + M_f * V_f = (M_L + M_f) v_t$

Where $M_L$ is the mass of the Luxury Liner = 40,000 ton

$v_L$ is the velocity of Luxury Liner = 20 knots due west

$M_f$ mass of freighter = 60,000

$v_f$ is the velocity of freighter = 10 knots due north

Apply the law of conservation of momentum toward the the west direction

$v_f = 0 \ knots$

So the equation would be

$M_L *v_L = (M_L + M_f) v_t$

Substituting values

$40000*20 = (40000+ 60000)v_t_w$

Where $v_t_w$ the final velocity due west

Making $v_t_w$ the subject

$v_t_w = \frac{40,000* 20}{(40000 + 60000)}$

$= 8 \ knots$

Apply the law of conservation of momentum toward the the north direction

$v_L = 0 \ knots$

So the equation would be

$M_f *v_f = (M_L + M_f) v_t_n$

Where $v_t_n$ the final velocity due north

Making $v_t_n$ the subject

$v_t_n = \frac{60,000* 10}{(40000 + 60000)}$

$= 6 \ knots$

The resultant velocity is

$v_t = \sqrt{v_t_w^2 + v_t_n^2}$

$= \sqrt{8^2 +6^2}$

$v_t=10 knots$

The number of protons equals the atomic number. TRUE OR FALSE?

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

The number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom can be determined from a set of simple rules. The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to the atomic number (Z). The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons.
