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

Physics
1 answer:
KiRa [710]4 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.

You want to capture and digitize an analog signal that has a frequency bandwidth of 5500 Hz. You select a sampling rate of 5500
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

c.

Explanation:

When you take samples of an analog signal, you must take samples fast enough so then you can recover the original signal, just passing the digitized signal through a low-pass filter.

The Nyquist criteria states that in order to be able to recover the original signal completely, you must take samples at a rate greater than 2 times the highest frequency component of the signal.

In our case, we should sample the analog signal at a rate > 2*5500 Hz = 11000 Hz.

If we sampled the 5500 Hz signal (assuming be a sinusoid just for simplicity) two times each cycle, we could be so unfortunate that the samples fall exactly when the signal crosses by zero, so the digitized signal would be only a train of zeros.

So, if we sample the signal only one time in each cycle, clearly we will not  be able  to  recover the signal, and the digital signal will experience aliasing, due we are not following Nyquist sample rate  requirements, as stated  in the  option c.

A rock is dropped from a sea cliff, and the sound of it striking the ocean is heard 2.9 s later. If the speed of sound is 340 m/
Veronika [31]

Answer:

h = 493 m

Explanation:

Given that,

A rock is dropped from a sea cliff, and the sound of it striking the ocean is heard 2.9 s later.

The total distance covered by the rock is 2d. We know that,

Speed = distance/time

v=\dfrac{2d}{t}\\\\d=\dfrac{vt}{2}\\\\d=\dfrac{340\times 2.9}{2}\\\\d=493\ m

So, the height of the cliff is equal to 493 m.

Un satélite geoestacionario se encuentra a una distancia de 120.000 km sobre la superficie de Júpiter. Determine: a. El periodo
Lisa [10]

Answer:

a) a geostationary satellite is that it is always at the same point with respect to the planet,

b) f = 2.7777 10⁻⁵ Hz

c)                           d)   w = 1.745 10⁻⁴ rad / s

Explanation:

a) The definition of a geostationary satellite is that it is always at the same point with respect to the planet, that is, its period of revolutions is the same as the period of the planet

  •                T = 10 h (3600 s / 1h) = 3.6 104 s

b) the period the frequency are related

                T = 1 / f

                 f = 1 / T

                 f = 1 / 3.6 104

                 f = 2.7777 10⁻⁵ Hz

c) the distance traveled by the satellite in 1 day

The distance traveled is equal to the length of the circumference

                 d = 2pi (R + r)

                 d = 2pi (69 911 103 + 120 106)

                 d = 1193.24 m

d) the angular velocity is the angle traveled between the time used.

                 .w = 2pi /t

                  w = 2pi / 3.6 10⁴

                  w = 1.745 10⁻⁴ rad / s

how fast is

                  v = w r

                  v = 1.75 10-4 (69.911 106 + 120 106)

                  v = 190017 m / s
