The average speed is the distance per time ratio. velocity is the rate at which the position changes

A 50kg meteorite moving at 1000 m/s strikes Earth. Assume the velocity is along the line joining Earth's center of mass and the
zysi [14]

As per the question, the mass of meteorite [ m]= 50 kg

                       The velocity of the meteorite [v] = 1000 m/s

When the meteorite falls on the ground, it will give whole of its kinetic energy to earth.

We are asked to calculate the gain in kinetic energy of earth.

The kinetic energy of meteorite is calculated as -

                                       Kinetic\ energy\ [K.E]\ =\frac{1}{2} mv^2

                                                             =\frac{1}{2}50kg*[1000\ m/s]^2

                                                               =\frac{1}{2}50* 10^{6}\ J

                                                               =25*10^6\ J    

Here, J stands for Joule which is the S.I unit of energy.

Hence,\ the\ kinetic\ energy\ gained\ by\ earth\ is\ 25*10^6\ J

two cars start at the same point and drive in a straight line for 5km. At the end of the drive their distances are the same but
Anna11 [10]

A 'displacement' always consists of a magnitude and a direction.  The two cars you just described have displacements with the same magnitude ... 5 km.  But if they didn't both drive in the same direction, then their displacements are different.

Remember:

-- 10 m/s² up and 10 m/s² down are different accelerations

-- 30 mph East and 30 mph West are the same speed but different velocity.

-- 5 km North and 5 km South are the same distance but different displacement.

1. Which wave refracts?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

I want to say your answer is A) an ocean wave approaching the shore at an angle. But not 100% sure. I'm so sorry if it's wrong I really tried to figure it out.

Explanation:

Refraction of waves involves a change in the direction of waves as they pass from one medium to another. Refaction , or the bending of the path of the waves, is accompanied by a change in speed and wavelength of the waves. Thus, if water waves are passing from deep water into shallow water, they will slow down. ( This is what I read on google maybe it'll help you out).

An electron is a negatively charged particle that has a charge of magnitude, e - 1.60 x 10-19 C. Which one of the following stat
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

The electric field is directed toward the electron and has a magnitude of E=\frac{ke}{r^{2} }.

Explanation:

An electric field is define as the surrounding of charges which exert a force on each other and this force can be attractive or repulsive depends on the charge.

In the given case electron is given and the magnitude of charge on electron is e=1.6\times 10^{-19}C

Electric field can be represented as,

E=\frac{kQ}{r^{2} }

Here, r is the distance between the point ande charge, k is the electric field constant and Q is the charge.

In the given question an electron is given so electric field will be,

E=\frac{ke}{r^{2} }

As we know that electric field start from the positive charge and vanish in the negative charge.

So, here the electric field will be E=\frac{ke}{r^{2} } and it is directed toward the electron because of negative charge on the electron.
