Answer:

Acceleration of the meteorite, a=-38409.09\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

A Meteorite after striking struck a car, v = 0

Initial speed of the Meteorite, u = 130 m/s

Distance covered by Meteorite, s = 22 cm = 0.22 m

We need to find the magnitude of its deceleration. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as :

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

a=\dfrac{-(130)^2}{2\times 0.22}

a=-38409.09\ m/s^2

So, the deceleration of the Meteorite is -38409.09\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

An observer at the top of a 462-ft cliff measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to
Lana71 [14]

complete question:

An observer at the top of a 462-ft cliff measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to be 5°. What is the distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground? Round to the nearest foot

Answer:

a ≈  5281 ft

Explanation:

The observer at the top of a 462 ft cliff  measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to be 5°.

The angle of depression form the top of the cliff = 5°

The 5° is outside the triangle formed . To find the angle in the triangle we have to subtract 5° from 90°.  90° - 5° = 85° Note sum of an angle on a right angle is 90°.  

using SOHCAHTOA  principle we can solve for the distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground(a)

tan  85° = opposite / adjacent

tan 85°  = a / 462

cross multiply

462 × tan 85° = a

a = 11.4300523 × 462

a =  5280.66  ft

a ≈  5281 ft

Which of the following mixture can be separate using decantation method?​
vivado [14]

Answer:

Hi sorry for answering here but you didnt put the options there

Explanation:

I'll still try to answer though so maybe the mixture from one of the questions might be something like oil and water which don't mix and can be separated by decantation so something similar would work. Hope this helps

A typical oil control ring consists of _______ separate part(s).
azamat
<span>A. three</span><span>

Oil spill can be very harmful to marine life because  the chemical make up of oils can be poisonous to marine life. The oil can also affect the natural body temperature of marine animals especially to the small fish. Sea otters and sea birds are the most commonly affected by oil spills and those other marine animals that can be found in the shoreline. Heavy oils like the bunker oils used to fuel ships are the most harmful oil because when this oil stick to birds feathers, they may have an inability to warm themselves that could lead them to die.</span>

Find the distance in nm between two slits that produces the first minimum for 410-nm violet light at an angle of 14.5°.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

820 nm

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength=\lambda=410 nm

\lambda=410\times 10^{-9} m

1nm=10^{-9} m

\theta=14.5^{\circ}

For first minimum therefore

m=0

We know that for destructive interference

(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda=dsin\theta

Substitute the values

(0+\frac{1}{2})\times 410\times 10^{-9}=dsin 14.5

d=\frac{410\times 10^{-9}}{2\times sin 14.5}

d=820\times 10^{-9} m=820 nm

Hence, the distance between two slits that produces the first minimum=820 nm
