How do meteorites differ from meteors and meteoroids?

Physics

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 camera lens with focal length f = 50 mm and maximum aperture f>2
Brut [27]

Answer:

The minimum distance between two points on the  object that are barely resolved is 0.26 mm

The corresponding distance between the  image points = 0.0015 m

Explanation:

Given  

focal length f = 50 mm and maximum aperture f>2

s =  9.0 m

aperture = 25 mm = 25 *10^-3 m

Sin a = 1.22 *wavelength /D  

Substituting the given values, we get –  

Sin a = 1.22 *600 *10^-9 m /25 *10^-3 m

Sin a = 2.93 * 10 ^-5 rad

Now  

Y/9.0 m = 2.93 * 10 ^-5

Y = 2.64 *10^-4 m = 0.26 mm

Y’/50 *10^-3 = 2.93 * 10 ^-5  

Y’ = 0.0015 m

A typical meteor that hits the earth's upper atmosphere has a mass of only 2.5 g, about the same as a penny, but it is moving at
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Answer:u=66.67 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of meteor m=2.5 gm\approx 2.5\times 10^{-3} kg

velocity of meteor v=40km/s \approx 40000 m/s

Kinetic Energy of Meteor

K.E.=\frac{mv^2}{2}

K.E.=\frac{2.5\times 10^{-3}\times (4000)^2}{2}

K.E.=2\times 10^6 J

Kinetic Energy of Car

=\frac{1}{2}\times Mu^2

=\frac{1}{2}\times 900\times u^2

\frac{1}{2}\times 900\times u^2=2\times 10^6  

900\times u^2=4\times 10^6

u^2=\frac{4}{9}\times 10^4

u=\frac{2}{3}\times 10^2

u=66.67 m/s
