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.

How high would a projectile go if it was launched from ground level with an initial speed of 26 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees ab
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Vy = 26 m/s sin 30 = 13 m/s      vertical speed

t = Vy / a = 13 m/s / 9.80 m/s^2 = 1.33 sec     time to reach Vy = 0

H = Vy t + 1/2 g t^2

H = 13 m/s * 1.33 sec - 1.33^2 * 9.8 / 2 m = 8.62 m

Light of wavelength 630 nm falls on two slits and produces an interference pattern in which the third-order bright red fringe is
goblinko [34]

Answer:

d \frac{x}{l} = m×  λ⇒ d = λ ×m×l / x

= 630×10^{-9} m × 3×3m/ 45×10^{-3} m

= 1.26×10^{-4}m

Explanation:

the above calculation is based on Young’s double slit experiment where the two slits provide two coherent light sources which results either constructive interference or destructive interference when passing through a double slit.

What statement is true about a spring?

I think B is the most correct, because logically it's harder to bend a stiffer spring than it is to bend a softer one. Also, I don't think length comes into play. So B.
