Why do meteors in a meteor shower appear to come from just one point in the sky?

Physics
1 answer:
kolbaska11 [484]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

All the meteors in a meteor shower typically come from the same comet, which is in a periodic orbit around the Sun. The dust from the comet follows the path of the parent body and as Earth intersects the debris along the comet's orbit, it plows into this material. Since the dust particles are all moving together in space before they encounter Earth, if you trace back the streak of each meteor, its path will appear to diverge from one place in the sky.

Mashcka [7]

a)

• P = F/A

P = pressure = 630 N/m^2

F = force

A = area

F = mg = 0.50 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.9 N

m= mass

g= gravity

P = F/A

A = F/P

A = 4.9 N / 630 N/m^2 = 7.778 x 10^-3 m^2

b)

• Area of a circle = pi* radius ^2

7.778 x 10^-3 m^2 = pi* radius ^2

√(7.778 x 10^-3 m^2 / pi ) = radius

radius = 0.04976 m

Answers:

a ) 7.778 x 10^-3 m^2

b) 0.04976 m

Which color of light is diffracted at a greater angle from a diffraction grating, red or yellow light?
topjm [15]
The amount of diffraction depends on the wavelength of light, with shorter wavelengths being diffracted at a greater angle than longer ones (in effect, blue and violet<span> light are diffracted at a larger angle than is red light).

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

A harmonic wave on a string with a mass per unit length of 0.050 kg/m and a tension of 60 N has an amplitude of 5.0 cm. Each sec
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Power of the string wave will be equal to 5.464 watt

Explanation:

We have given mass per unit length is 0.050 kg/m

Tension in the string T = 60 N

Amplitude of the wave A = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Frequency f = 8 Hz

So angular frequency \omega =2\pi f=2\times 3.14\times 8=50.24rad/sec

Velocity of the string wave is equal to v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}=\sqrt{\frac{60}{0.050}}=34.641m/sec

Power of wave propagation is equal to P=\frac{1}{2}\mu \omega ^2vA^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.050\times 50.24^2\times 34.641\times 0.05^2=5.464watt

So power of the wave will be equal to 5.464 watt
