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

Physics

KiRa [710]3 years ago

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.

What is the relationship among amplitude,crest,and trough?
Musya8 [376]
These are characteristics of a wave. The amplitude is how high and low the waves go. Crests are high points on the wave, and troughs are low points on the wave.

I need help with questions b and d, that’s all.<br><br> Thank you.
Mkey [24]

b).  The power depends on the RATE at which work is done.  

Power = (Work or Energy) / (time)

So to calculate it, you have to know how much work is done AND how much time that takes.

In part (a), you calculated the amount of work it takes to lift the car from the ground to Point-A.  But the question doesn't tell us anywhere how much time that takes.  So there's NO WAY to calculate the power needed to do it.

The more power is used, the faster the car is lifted.  The less power is used, the slower the car creeps up the first hill.  If the people in the car have a lot of time to sit and wait, the car can be dragged from the ground up to Point-A with a very very very small power ... you could do it with a hamster on a treadmill.  That would just take a long time, but it could be done if the power is small enough.

Without knowing the time, we can't calculate the power.

...

d).  Kinetic energy = (1/2) · (mass) · (speed squared)

On the way up, the car stops when it reaches point-A.  

On the way down, the car leaves point-A from "rest".

WHILE it's at point-A, it has <u><em>no speed</em></u>.  So it has no (<em>zero</em>) kinetic energy.
