On February 15, 2013, a superbolide meteor (brighter than the Sun) entered Earth’s atmosphere over Chelyabinsk, Russia, and expl

oded at an altitude of 23.5 km. Eyewitnesses could feel the intense heat from the fireball, and the blast wave from the explosion blew out windows in buildings. The blast wave took approximately 2 minutes 30 seconds to reach ground level. The blast wave traveled at 10° above the horizon. (a) What was the average velocity of the blast wave? (b) Compare this with the speed of sound, which is 343 m/s at sea level.

Answer:

Velocity,c = 156.67m/s

Explanation:  Altitude, d = 23.5km or 23500m

Time duration, T = 2 minutes + 30 seconds = (120 + 30) seconds = 150 seconds

a) Frequency, F = 1/T= 1/150 Hz

Hence, Velocity, c = d X F = 23500 X 1/150

∴ c = 156.67 m/s

b)  The speed of sound increases as the wave moves from a lighter medium to denser medium. While the of the superbolide meteor decreases from a lighter medium to denser medium.

Say you want to make a sling by swinging a mass M of 1.9 kg in a horizontal circle of radius 0.042 m, using a string of length 0
padilas [110]

Answer: T= 715 N

Explanation:

The only external force (neglecting gravity) acting on the swinging mass, is the centripetal force, which. in this case, is represented by the tension in the string, so we can say:

T = mv² / r

At the moment that the mass be released, it wil continue moving in a straight line at the same tangential speed that it had just an instant before, which is the same speed included in the centripetal force expression.

So the kinetic energy will be the following:

K = 1/2 m v² = 15. 0 J

Solving for v², and replacing in the expression for T:

T = 1.9 Kg (3.97)² m²/s² / 0.042 m = 715 N

How do you think speed affects car and driver safety?
blondinia [14]
An increase in average speed of 1 km/h typi- cally results in a 3% higher risk of a crash involving injury, with a 4–5% increase for crashes that result in fatalities. — Speed also contributes to the severity of the impact when a collision does occur. Hope this helps!

A capacitor is connected to an ac supply. increasing the frequency of the supply _________ the current through the capacitor
Alja [10]

A capacitor is connected to an ac supply. increasing the frequency of the supply increases the current through the capacitor

A capacitor is a device for storing electrical energy that consists of two insulated conductors in close proximity. The parallel-plate capacitor is a simple example of such a storage device.

A capacitor (also known as a condenser) is a two-terminal passive electrical component that stores energy electrostatically in an electric field. Practical capacitors come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but they all have at least two electrical conductors (plates) separated by a dielectric (i.e., insulator).

Capacitors exist in various shapes and sizes, and their value is measured in farads (F). Capacitors are utilized in both alternating current and direct current systems.
