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.

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

3.75 m/s

Explanation:

Comment

Let's deal with the second question first. The average velocity is 0 because the displacement (distance between the starting point and ending point) is 0.

The first question is a little harder. You don't seem to have enough information. When that happens, you can just make things up. Now there's an interesting solution. You could do it with algebra, but it is easier to see with numbers.

Givens

  • d = 150 m. between A and B
  • r1 = rate from A to B = 5 m/s
  • r2 = rate from B to A = 3 m/s
  • time A to B = t1
  • time B to A = t2

Formulas

t1 = d / r1

t2 = d/r2

average rate = total distance / total time

Solution

t1 = 150 m / 5 m/s = 30 seconds

t2 = 150 m / 3 m/s = 50 seconds

Total distance = 150 m + 150 m = 300 m

Total time = 30 seconds + 50 seconds = 80 seconds

Average speed = 300 m / 80 s

Answer

Average speed = 3.75 m/s

An object possessing an excess of 6.0x10^6 electrons has a net charge of
guajiro [1.7K]
A single electron has a charge of
e=-1.6 \cdot 10^{19}C
Therefore, if we have an excess of N=6.0\cdot10^6 electrons, the total net charge will be the product between the charge of a single electron and the total number of electrons in excess:
Q=Ne=(6.0\cdot10^6)(-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)=9.6 \cdot 10^{-13}C

One heater uses 490 W of power when connected by itself to a battery. Another heater uses 250 W of power when connected by itsel
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Power will be 166.66 watt when the heater are connected in series

Explanation:

We have given power of the first heater P_1 = 490 watt

And power of the second heater P_2 = 250 watt

We know that in series connection potential difference will be same

So let the potential difference is v

Power is given by P=\frac{V^2}{R}

So 490=\frac{V^2}{R_1}

R_1=\frac{V^2}{490}=0.0020V^2

Similarly R_2=\frac{V^2}{250}=0.04V^2

As resistances are connected in series so equivalent resistance R=R_1+R_2=0.0020V^2+0.04V^2=0.006V^2

So power P=\frac{V^2}{R}=\frac{V^2}{0.006V^2}=166.66Watt

One-half second after starting from rest, a freely falling object will have a speed of about:_________
snow_tiger [21]

One-half second after starting from rest, a freely falling object will have a speed of about 5 m/s.

<h3>What do you mean by falling object?</h3>

Falling things include goods, tools, garbage, and rubbish that are blown, dropped, or displaced from heights.

Physical science research frequently involves the study of gravity. Of course, what makes things fall is the force of gravity. A force of attraction between two objects is constant. This pulling force is similar to the pull of gravity.

given free fall from rest i.e.

initial velocity u=0 m/s

acceleration  a = 10m/s2

time t=0.5 seconds

we know final velocity v = u + at = 0 + (10 *0.5) = 5m/s

What do you mean by impulse ratio?​
mars1129 [50]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<h3><em><u>The impulse ratio of an insulator can be defined as the ratio of impulse peak voltage to the peak voltage. It is used to determine the value of flashover or puncture of insulation. Generally, the impulse ratio of the insulator is high.</u></em></h3>
