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.

Figure 1 shows cavity wall insulation being installed in the wall of a house.
Alexeev081 [22]

Explanation:

Energy loss through walls can be reduced using cavity wall insulation. This involves blowing insulating material into the gap between the brick and the inside wall, which reduces the loss by air circulating inside the cavity, therefore reducing loss by convection through the cavity.

Isaiah has samples of two different elements, one metal and one nonmetal
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

1/ As a metal has higher melting point than a nonmetal has, we can guess that sample A is a metal.

2/ The melting point is over 1000 gradius Celcius: 1083 - it's not a low value. And as the sample conducts heat, it is not the element of period N3 in the periodic table, because elements in period 3 do not conduct electricity.

Explanation:

I can not see what the questions 2-3 in your picture is. I answered the question above the table: What can the student conclude about thenidentity of Sample A.

Describe an experiment you could perform to determine the average speed of a toy car rolling down an incline
Anna35 [415]
Imagine an incline of length "x". You let the toy go at the top of the incline and measure the time "t" it takes for it to get to the bottom.
The average speed would be "v=x/t".
