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.

What are the components of friction?
Tresset [83]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Friction:</u>

When an object slips on a surface, an opposing force acts between the tangent planes which acts in the opposite direction of motion. This opposing force is called Friction. Or in other words, Friction is the opposing force that opposes the motion between two surfaces.

The main component of friction are:

<u>Normal Reaction (R): </u>

Suppose a block is placed on a table in the above picture, which is in resting state, then two forces are acting on it at that time.

The first is due to its weight mg which is working from its center of gravity towards the vertical bottom.

The second one is superimposed vertically upwards by the table on the block, called the reaction force (P). This force passes through the center of gravity of the block.

Due to P = mg, the box is in equilibrium position on the table.

<u>Coefficient of friction ( </u>μ )<u>: </u>

The ratio of the force of friction and the reaction force is called the coefficient of friction.

Coefficient of friction, µ = force of friction / reaction force

μ = F / R

The coefficient of friction is volume less and dimensionless.

Its value is between 0 to 1.

<u>Advantage and disadvantage from friction force: </u>

  • The advantage of the force of friction is that due to friction, we can walk on the earth without slipping.
  • Brakes in all vehicles are due to the force of friction.
  • We can write on the board only because of the force of friction.
  • The disadvantage of this force is that due to friction, some parts of energy are lost in the machines and there is wear and tear on the machines.

<u>How to reduce friction: </u>

  • Using lubricants (oil or grease) in machines.
  • Friction can be reduced by using ball bearings etc.
  • Using a soap solution and powder.

What voltage battery would you need to send 2.5A of current through a light bulb of resistance 3.6 ohm
nadezda [96]
<h3><u>Given</u> :</h3>

Current flow light bulb = 2.5\sf{A}

Resistance of light bulb = 3.6Ω

<h3><u>To Find </u>:</h3>

We have to find voltage of battery.

<h3><u>Solution</u> :</h3>

➠ As per ohm's law, current flow through a conductor is directly proportional to the applied potential difference.

➝ V ∝ I

➝ <u>V = I × R</u>

Where, R is the resistance of conductor.

⇒ V = I × R

⇒ V = 2.5 × 3.6

⇒ <u>V = 9 volt</u>

Is it possible to have negative velocity but positive acceleration? If so, what would this mean?
dusya [7]

Observe that the object below moves in the negative direction with a changing velocity. An object which moves in the negative direction has a negative velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a positive acceleration). The dot diagram shows that each consecutive dot is not the same distance apart (i.e., a changing velocity). The position-time graph shows that the slope is changing (meaning a changing velocity) and negative (meaning a negative velocity). The velocity-time graph shows a line with a positive (upward) slope (meaning that there is a positive acceleration); the line is located in the negative region of the graph (corresponding to a negative velocity). The acceleration-time graph shows a horizontal line in the positive region of the graph (meaning a positive acceleration).

I don't know how I can show you the figure
