You're talking about a grain of sand or a stone or a rock that's drifting in space, and then the Earth happens to get in the way, so the stone falls down to Earth, and it makes a bright streak of light while it's falling through the atmosphere and burning up from the friction.
-- While it's drifting in space, it's a <em>meteoroid</em>.
-- While it's falling through the atmosphere burning up and making a bright streak of light, it's a <em>meteor</em>.
-- If it doesn't completely burn up and there's some of it left to fall on the ground, then the leftover piece on the ground is a <em>meteorite</em>.
Answer:
i)-6.25m/s
ii)18 metres
iii)26.5 m/s or 95.4 km/hr
Explanation:
Firstly convert 90km/hr to m/s
90 × 1000/3600 = 25m/s
(i) Apply v^2 = u^2 + 2As...where v(0m/s) is the final speed and u(25m/s) is initial speed and also s is the distance moved through(50 metres)
0 = (25)^2 + 2A(50)
0 = 625 + 100A....then moved the other value to one
-625 = 100A
Hence A = -6.25m/s^2(where the negative just tells us that its deceleration)
(ii) Firstly convert 54km/hr to m/s
In which this is 54 × 1000/3600 = 15m/s
then apply the same formula as that in (i)
0 = (15)^2 + 2(-6.25)s
-225 = -12.5s
Hence the stopping distance = 18metres
(iii) Apply the same formula and always remember that the deceleration values is the same throughout this question
0 = u^2 + 2(-6.25)(56)
u^2 = 700
Hence the speed that the car was travelling at is the,square root of 700 = 26.5m/s
In km/hr....26.5 × 3600/1000 = 95.4 km/hr
Answer:
1000 Hz
Explanation:
<em>The frequency would be 1000 Hz.</em>
The frequency, wavelength, and speed of a wave are related by the equation:
<em>v = fλ ..................(1)</em>
where v = speed of the wave, f = frequency of the wave, and λ = wavelength of the wave.
Making f the subject of the formula:
<em>f = v/λ.........................(2)</em>
Also, speed (v) = distance/time.
From the question, distance = 900 m, time = 3.0 s
Hence, v = 900/3.0 = 300 m/s
Substitute v = 300 and λ = 0.3 into equation (2):
f = 300/0.3 = 1000 Hz
Answer:
The mass of object is calculated as 5.36 kg
Explanation:
The known terms to find the mass are:
acceleration of object (a) = 22.35 
Force exerted (F) = 120N
mass of an object (m) = ?
From Newton's second law of motion;
F = ma
or, 120 = m × 22.35
or, m= 
kg
∴ m = 5.36 kg
Answer:
The sphere C carries no net charge.
Explanation:
- When brougth close to the charged sphere A, as charges can move freely in a conductor, a charge equal and opposite to the one on the sphere A, appears on the sphere B surface facing to the sphere A.
- As sphere B must remain neutral (due to the principle of conservation of charge) an equal charge, but of opposite sign, goes to the surface also, on the opposite part of the sphere.
- If sphere A is removed, a charge movement happens in the sphere B, in such a way, that no net charge remains on the surface.
- If in such state, if the sphere B (assumed again uncharged completely, without any local charges on the surface), is touched by an initially uncharged sphere C, due to the conservation of charge principle, no net charge can be built on sphere C.
