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

Which statements in dalton's original atomic theory are now considered to be incorrect? describe how modern atomic theory differ
Illusion [34]
Incorrect statement in Dalton's original atomic theory are that atoms are indestructible and statement that all atoms of one element are same mass and characteristics.
Modern atomic theory is, of course, a little bit updated but original Daltons's theory is still remains. By modern atomic theory atoms can be destructed by nuclear reaction, but no with chemical reaction. Also there are different kinds of atoms in one element, their mass can be different.

A stiff wire 44.0 cm long is bent at a right angle in the middle. One section lies along the z axis and the other is along the l
Helga [31]

The magnitude of force acting on wire will be 1.90 N and the direction of the force acting on the wire will be 41.9 degrees below the negative y axis.

Explanation:

It is known that the force acting on a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field is

F=BIL sin theta

Here B is the magnetic field, I is the current flowing through the wire and L is the length of the wire which is given as 44 cm.

Since the wire is bended in the middle at right angle so the length of the two sides of the wire will be 22 cm each. Also one part is lying over z axis and another part lies in the plane of xy in the equation of line y = 2x. So the slope of this wire will be

\frac{y}{x} =2

This will be equal to tan θ.

So θ = tan⁻¹ (2) =63.4°

Then, the length of the wire will be written as components of i, j and k.

L = (-22)k+(22) cos ( 63.4) i+(22) sin (63.4)j

L = 0.098 i+0.197 j-0.22k

Then,

F = I (L × B)

F = 20.5 ((0.0985 i + 0.197 j -0.22k) * (0.316 i))

F = 20.5 (\left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\0.098&0.197&-0.22\\0.316&0&0\end{array}\right] )

F = 20.5(i(0)-j(0-(-0.22*0.316))+k(0-(0.316*0.197))) = 20.5(-0.069 j-0.062 k)

F = -1.415 j-1.271 k

The magnitude of force on the wire will be

F = \sqrt{(-1.415)^{2}+(-1.27)^{2}  } = \sqrt{3.615}=1.90 N

And the direction can be found by the tan inverse of the ratio of k component to j component of the force.

theta = tan-1(\frac{-1.271}{-1.415})= 41.9 degrees

So the magnitude of force acting on wire will be 1.90 N and the direction of the force acting on the wire will be 41.9 degrees below the negative y axis.

Two billiard balls of equal mass are traveling straight toward each other with the same speed. They meet head-on in an elastic c
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

0 kg m/s before and after collision

Explanation:

Let m, v be the mass and speed of the 2 balls, respectively, before the collision. Since they have the same mass and same speed but in opposite direction, the total momentum of the system would be:

P = mv - mv = 0 kg m/s

As the collision is elastic. The total momentum after the collision is the same as the total momentum before the collision, which is 0.
