What's the difference between meteoroids, meteorites, and meteors?

Physics

SVEN [57.7K]3 years ago

You're talking about a grain of sand or a stone or a rock that's drifting in space, and then the Earth happens to get in the way, so the stone falls down to Earth, and it makes a bright streak of light while it's falling through the atmosphere and burning up from the friction.

-- While it's drifting in space, it's a <em>meteoroid</em>.

-- While it's falling through the atmosphere burning up and making a bright streak of light, it's a <em>meteor</em>.

-- If it doesn't completely burn up and there's some of it left to fall on the ground, then the leftover piece on the ground is a <em>meteorite</em>.

A rectangular barge, 5.2 m long and 2.4 m wide, floats in fresh water. Suppose that a 410-kg crate of auto parts is loaded onto
sesenic [268]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The depth of barge float=3 cm</h2><h2>Explanation:</h2>

Length of rectangular barge=5.2 m

Width of rectangular barge=2.4m

Mass of crate=410 kg

Let h be the height of barge float

Volume of barge float=l\times b\times h=5.2\times 2.4\times h=12.48h

Density of water=10^3kg/m^3

Weight of water displaced by barge=Buoyant force=-Weight of horse

Volume\;of\;water\times density\;of\;water\times g=410\times g

12.48h\times 1000=410

h=\frac{410}{12.48\times 1000}=0.03 m

1 m=100 cm

0.03 m=0.03\times 100=3cm

Hence, the depth of barge float=3 cm
