Meteor Infrasound A meteor that explodes in the atmosphere creates infrasound waves that can travel multiple times around the gl

obe. One such meteor produced infrasound waves with a wavelength of 6.5 km that propagated 8830 km in 8.47 h. What was the frequency of these waves?

Answer:

0.04455 Hz

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Wavelength, λ = 6.5km = 6500m

Distance travelled by the wave, x = 8830km = 8830000m

Time taken, t = 8.47hours = 8.47 * 3600 = 30492 secs

First, we find the speed of the wave:

Speed, v = distance/time = x/t

v = 8830000/30492 = 289.58 m/s

Frequency, f, is given as velocity divided by wavelength:

f = v/λ

f = 289.58/6500

f = 0.04455 Hz

find the time taken, if the speed of a train increased from 72 km/hr to 90 km/hr for 234 km. leave your answer in seconds
Airida [17]

Answer:

Time taken = 10400 s

Explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of the train, u=72\textrm{ km/h}=72\times \frac{5}{18}=20\textrm{ m/s}

Final speed of the train, v=90\textrm{ km/h}=90\times \frac{5}{18}=25\textrm{ m/s}

Displacement of the train, S=234\textrm{ km}=234\times 1000=234000\textrm{ m}

Using Newton's equation of motion,

v - u = at\\a=\frac{v-u}{t}

Now, using Newton's equation of motion for displacement,

v^{2}-u^{2}=2aS

Now, plug in the value of a=\frac{v-u}{t} in the above equation. This gives,

v^{2}-u^{2}=2\times \frac{v-u}{t}\times S\\(v+u)(v-u)=\frac{2(v-u)S}{t}\\t=\frac{2(v-u)S}{(v+u)(v-u)}\\t=\frac{2S}{v+u}

Now, plug in 234000 m for S, 25 m/s for v and 20 m/s for u. Solve for t.

t=\frac{2S}{v+u}\\t=\frac{2\times 234000}{25+20}\\t=\frac{468000}{45}=10400\textrm{ s}

Therefore, the time taken by the train is 10400 s.

An object begins with a speed of 20 meters per second and slows down to a speed of 10 meters per second over a time of 5 seconds
Andreyy89

Answer:

V = 6 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of an object is 20 m/s

Final speed of an object is 10 m/s

Time, t = 5 s

We need to find the average speed of the object during these 5 seconds. Let it is equal to V. Here, time is same. The average speed is given by :

V=\dfrac{x+y}{2}\\\\\text{Putting values}\\\\V=\dfrac{20+10}{5}\\\\V=6\ m/s

So, the average speed of the object is 6 m/s.

What is folk remedies
mario62 [17]

A "folk" remedy is something you choose to eat, take, or do,
in order to correct some health issue, because your friend,
your grandmother, your religion, your shaman, your astrologer,
or your medicine man says that it's the right thing to do. 

It may or may not be effective, and it may or may not even be
safe.  What distinguishes it from mainstream medicine is that
its practices are based on hearsay, and have not been subjected
to scientific methods of investigation and evaluation.

Students are asked to create roller coasters for marbles. Their goal is to design a coaster with the tallest possible hill that
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Kinetic Energy.

Explanation:

The movement of a roller coaster is accomplished by the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy. The roller coaster cars gain potential energy as they are pulled to the top of the first hill. As the cars descend the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
