On February 15, 2013, a superbolide meteor (brighter than the Sun) entered Earth’s atmosphere over Chelyabinsk, Russia, and expl

oded at an altitude of 23.5 km. Eyewitnesses could feel the intense heat from the fireball, and the blast wave from the explosion blew out windows in buildings. The blast wave took approximately 2 minutes 30 seconds to reach ground level. (a) What was the average velocity of the blast wave? (b) Compare this with the speed of sound, which is 343 m/s at sea level.

Explanation:

A.

Using the wave equation:

v = d/t

Where,

v = velocity

d = distance

= 23.5 km

= 23500 m

t = time

= 2m 30s = 150 s

v = 23500/150

= 156.7 m/s

B.

From the calculated value above, it can be seen that the velocity of the heat blast is >>> than the velocity of sound above sea level.

A 50.0 kg driver is riding at 35.0 m/s in her red sports car when she must suddenly slam on the brakes to avoid
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

3500N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of driver  = 50kg

Speed  = 35m/s

Time  = 0.5s

Unknown:

Average force the seat belt exerts on her = ?

Solution:

The average force the seat belt exerts on her can be deduced from Newton's second law of motion.

   F = mass x acceleration

So;

     F  = mass x  \frac{change in velocity }{time}

  F  = 50 x \frac{35}{0.5}    = 3500N

A box slides down a ramp inclined at 24◦ to the horizontal with an acceleration of 1.7 m/s 2 . The acceleration of gravity is 9.
dsp73

Answer:

<h3>0.445</h3>

Explanation:

In friction, the coefficient of friction formula is expressed as;

\mu = \frac{F_f}{R}

Ff is the frictional force = Wsinθ

R is the reaction = Wcosθ

Substitute inti the equation;

\mu = \frac{Wsin \theta}{W cos\theta} \\\mu = \frac{sin \theta}{cos\theta} \\\mu = tan \theta

Given

θ = 24°

\mu = tan 24^0\\\mu = 0.445\\

Hence the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp is 0.445

Five hundred million years ago, basaltic lava flowed in an area now known as Monticello, the historic home of Thomas Jefferson.
aev [14]

Explanation:

               Igneous -  metamorphic -  sedimentary

A rock cycle provides the cyclic transformation of one rock type to another in nature.

There are three main types of rock involved in the rock cycle;

  • igneous rocks are derived from the cooling and solidification of molten magma
  • metamorphic rocks are changed rocks subjected to intense pressure and temperature
  • sedimentary rocks are derived from rock sediments that have been lithified.

The history of the rock in Monticello begins with igneous rock formation. Basalt is an igneous rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of molten magma. Under intense pressure and temperature regimes, they are changed to metamorphic rocks.

Agents of denudation such as wind, water and glacier weathers the rock and disintegrates it. They are then carried into basins where they are deposited. Here they form sedimentary rock.

The process still goes on as the sedimentary rock gets taken into depth, they can either melt to form igneous rock or be changed to metamorphic rocks.

What is the difference between a graph of linear motion and a graph of harmonic motion?
fredd [130]
Hope this helps :)

When describing linear motion, you need only one graph representing each of the three terms, while projectile motion requires a graph of the x and y axes. Graphs of simple harmonic motion are sine curves. Circular motion is different from other forms of motion because the speed of the object is constant.
