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.

Which of the following is true concerning hurricanes?
densk [106]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

B. is correct because every time usually when a hurricane hits it causes flooding causing multiple homes to be ruined. It is a known fact that usually hurricanes start close or in along with tornadoes, the water, meaning once they hit land they have some water to flood that land with.

C. is absolutely false hurricanes have VERY strong wind gusts.

D. is absolutely wrong they do alter landscapes by ripping trees and plants and houses out of the ground making the landscapes look different.

A. is wrong they tend to deposit and remove sediment evenly.

A :-) a = v^2 by r
Given - radius = 25 m
velocity = 10 m/s
Solution -
a = v^2 by r
a = ( 10 )^2 by 25
a = 100 by 25
( cut 25 and 100 because 25 x 4 = 100 )
a = 4 m/s^2

.:. The centripetal acceleration of the car
= 4 m/s^2.

How is aperture measured? What do the measurements mean?
gulaghasi [49]
Aperture is measured in F-stops, in which the f-stops is the amount of light allowed to pass through the aperture, which simply put means that the smaller the aperture, the higher the f-stops. What it does is reduce the amount of light that reaches the film, so the higher the f-stops, the less light reaches the film.

The magnet below is cut in half. what will be the result?
ozzi
<h2>Answer:</h2>

C.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

This is what we call a permanent magnet. By the  way, the magnetic phenomena were first observed about 2500 years ago near the ancient city of Magnesia, what is today Manisa, located in western Turkey, when people saw fragments of magnetized iron. So <em>what happens if you cut a magnet in half? </em>Well, a magnet has two ends, the first one is called a north pole or N pole while the  other end is a south pole or S pole, so if you break a bar magnet, each piece  has a north and south pole, no matter the size of each new bar although the smaller the  piece, the weaker its magnetism. This is true because unlike electric charges, you always find magnetic poles  in pairs, that is, ¡they can't be isolated! The option is C. because in the great bar the north pole is to the left while the south pole is to right.
