Answer: 2859.78 k

Explanation: By using the law of conservation of energy, the kinetic energy of the meteor equals the heat energy.

Kinetic energy = 1/2mv^2

Heat energy = mcΔθ

Where m = mass of meteor , v = velocity of meteor = 1623 m/s

c = specific heat capacity of meteor (iron) = 460.548 j/kg/k

Δθ = change in temperature of meteor = ?

From law ofconservation of energy, we have that

1/2mv^2 = mcΔθ

By cancelling "m" on both sides, we have that

v^2/2 = cΔθ

v^2 = 2cΔθ

(1623)^2 = 2× 460.548 × Δθ

2634129 = 921.096 × Δθ

Δθ = 2634129 / 921.096

Δθ = 2859.78 k

A black lift of amber is placed in water and a laser beam travels from the water through the amber. The angle of incidence is 35
horsena [70]

Answer:

Explanation:

refractive index of ember = sin of angle of incidence / sin of angle of refraction

= sin 35 / sin24

= .5735 / .4067

= 1.41

This is refractive index of ember with respect to water

refractive index of ember with respect to water

= wμe = μe / μw

μe = wμe x  μw

= 1.33 x 1.41

= 1.87

refractive index of ember with respect to air = 1.87 .

A 244.0 N block is at rest on a flat, frictionless table. A hooked cable applies an upward force of 24.0 N on the block. What is
blagie [28]

Answer:

268N

Explanation:

The upward force acting on the block are the reaction and the hooked table..

The total normal force acting = normal reaction + 24N

Note that the normal reaction is always equal the weight of the table

Hence the normal force acting in the block is 244.0+24 = 268.0N

Suppose your friend claims to have discovered a mysterious force in nature that acts on all particles in some region of space. H
kirill [66]

Answer:

             U = 1 / r²

Explanation:

In this exercise they do not ask for potential energy giving the expression of force, since these two quantities are related

             

         F = - dU / dr

this derivative is a gradient, that is, a directional derivative, so we must have

          dU = - F. dr

the esxresion for strength is

         F = B / r³

let's replace

          ∫ dU = - ∫ B / r³  dr

in this case the force and the displacement are parallel, therefore the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product

let's evaluate the integrals

            U - Uo = -B (- / 2r² + 1 / 2r₀²)

To complete the calculation we must fix the energy at a point, in general the most common choice is to make the potential energy zero (Uo = 0) for when the distance is infinite (r = ∞)

             U = B / 2r²

we substitute the value of B = 2

             U = 1 / r²

A protein molecule in an electrophoresis gel has a negative charge. The exact charge depends on the pH of the solution, but 30 e
Reika [66]

Answer:

7.401 * 10^(-15) N

Explanation:

30 electrons will have a charge:

30 * -1.6022 * 10^(-19) C

= - 4.806 * 10^(-18) C

The relationship between electric field and electric force is:

E = F/q

This means that force, F, is

|F| = |E|*|q|

|F| = |1540| * |-4.806 * 10^(-18)|

|F| = |-7401.24 * 10^(-18)|

|F| = 7.401 * 10^(-15) N
