a 905 - g meteor impacts the earth at a speed of 1623 m/s. if all of its energy is entirely converted to heat in the meteor, wha

t will be the resulting temperature rise of the meteor, assuming it does not melt? assume the meteor is made of iron.

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

If hydrogen and helium are the most abundant elements in the unoverse , then why are living organisms composed primarily of carb
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Most of materia isnt life.

Explanation:

The living organisms (life) aren't the most abundant thing in universe.

Hydrogen and helium are present in everywhere, but life isn't.

There is no reason to think because we have a lot of a thing, the life must be made for this thing.

The organic life just can exists because some mysterious properties about carbon, that is the basic foundation of life, carbon is a special element, why? We don't know, actually, it's a huge problem for science discover why the carbon can makes life be possible and other elements can't. But we know is this element that makes life possible.

So, note there isn't relation about the quantity of a material in Universe and the life constituition. In addition, look around, organic materials are very rare in Universe, Earth is one in lots of places and in most of this places there isn't sign of life.

Even in Earth the life looks abundant, in Universe it isn't, the same way in Universe the Hydrogen and Helium are abudant, in Earth isn't soo.

A small ball of mass 2.00 kilograms is moving at a velocity 1.50 meters/second. It hits a larger, stationary ball of mass 5.00 k
rewona [7]

The kinetic energy of the small ball before the collision is

                             KE  =  (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

                                     = (1/2) (2 kg) (1.5 m/s)

                                     =    (1 kg)  (2.25 m²/s²)

                                     =        2.25 joules.

Now is a good time to review the Law of Conservation of Energy:

                     Energy is never created or destroyed. 
                     If it seems that some energy disappeared,
                     it actually had to go somewhere.
                     And if it seems like some energy magically appeared,
                     it actually had to come from somewhere.

The small ball has 2.25 joules of kinetic energy before the collision.
If the small ball doesn't have a jet engine on it or a hamster inside,
and does not stop briefly to eat spinach, then there won't be any
more kinetic energy than that after the collision.  The large ball
and the small ball will just have to share the same 2.25 joules.
