Why do iron meteorites represent a much higher percentage of finds than of falls?

Physics
1 answer:
KiRa [710]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Meteorites falls are those which are collected just after knowing it is falling, whereas meteorites find are found at later times.

Iron meteorites have higher percentage of find because people have found that they are useful and have great qualities. They collect such meteorites thus removing them from scientific record.

The iron meteorite consist of iron nickle alloy and is a usable iron source for humans. Iron meteorites are more resistance to weathering and can easily survive atmospheric entry hence are found in large pieces.

Because of all such features, people collect them and make their most of use, hence its find percentage is higher.

Which of the following would produce the most power?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

A mass of 10 kilograms lifted 10 meters in 5 seconds.

Explanation:

Power can be defined as the energy required to do work per unit time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Power = \frac {Energy}{time}

But Energy = mgh

Substituting into the equation, we have

Power = \frac {mgh}{time}

Given the following data;

Mass = 10kg

Height = 10m

Time = 5 seconds

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s²

Power = \frac {10*9.8*10}{5} = 490 Watts

Hence, a mass of 10 kilograms lifted 10 meters in 5 seconds would produce the most power.

PLEASEEE HELPPP!!!
Alja [10]

Given :

A mover slides a refrigerator weighing 650 N at a constant velocity across the floor a distance of 8.1 m.

The force of friction between the refrigerator and the floor is 230 N.

To Find :

How much work has been performed by the mover on the refrigerator.

Solution :

Since, refrigerator is moving with constant velocity.

So, force applied by the mover is also 230 N ( equal to force of friction ).

Now, work done in order to move the refrigerator is :

W = Force\times distance\\\\W = 230 \times 8.1\ N\ m\\\\W = 1863\ N\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.
