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.

How much force is needed to accelerate a 1,800kg car at rate of 1.5 m/s2?
topjm [15]

<u>Given data:</u>

acceleration (a) = 1.5 m/s² ,

           mass (m) = 1800 Kg ,

        Determine F = ?

         <em>From Newtons II law</em>

                          F = m.a   N

                              = 1800× 1.5

                             = 2700 N

<em>2700 N force needed to accelerate the car</em>

Which are properties of both a gas and a plasma? Check all that apply.
wlad13 [49]
<span>The answer is  4, 6 and 7. Gas and plasma share most similar properties. The difference lies in the fact that plasma is composed of ions and electrons (ionized  gas) as opposed to gas that is composed of neutral molecules. Therefore plasma can conduct electricity while gas cannot. </span>
