Answer:
At dawn your location on earth is pointed straight in the direction of the Earth's travel in its orbit. Between midnight and dawn you are moving head-on through the location of the meteors in space, which means that you will, on average, observe more of them.

True, according to the Kinetic Molecular Theory.
The resistance of the lamp is apparently 50V/2A = 25 ohms.
When the circuit is fed with more than 50V, we want to add
another resistor in series with the 25-ohm lamp so that the
current through the combination will be 2A.
In order for 200V to cause 2A of current, the total resistance
must be 200V/2A = 100 ohms.
The lamp provides 25 ohms, so we want to add another 75 ohms
in series with the lamp. Then the total resistance of the circuit is
(75 + 25) = 100 ohms, and the current is 200V/100 ohms = 2 Amps.
The power delivered by the 200V mains is (200V) x (2A) = 400 watts.
The lamp dissipates ( I² · R ) = (2² · 25 ohms) = 100 watts.
The extra resistor dissipates ( I² · R) = (2² · 75 ohms) = 300 watts.
Together, they add up to the 400 watts delivered by the mains.
CAUTION:
300 watts is an awful lot of power for a resistor to dissipate !
Those little striped jobbies can't do it.
It has to be a special 'power resistor'.
300 watts is even an unusually big power resistor.
If this story actually happened, it would be cheaper, easier,
and safer to get three more of the same kind of lamp, and
connect THOSE in series for 100 ohms. Then at least the
power would all be going to provide some light, and not just
wasted to heat the room with a big moose resistor that's too
hot to touch.
a) At a position of 2.0m, the Initial energy is
all made up of the potential energy=m*g*hi<span>
and meanwhile at 1.5 all its energy is also potential energy=m*g*hf
The percentage of energy remaining is E=m*g*hi/m*g*hf x 100
and since mass and gravity are constant so it leaves us with
just E=hi/hf
which 1.5/2.0 x100= 75% so we see that we lost 25% of the
energy or 0.25 in fraction
b) Here use the equation vf^2=vi^2+2gd
<span>where g is gravity, vf is the final velocity and vi is the
initial velocity while d is the distance travelled
so in here we are looking for the vi so let us isolate that
variable
we know that at maximum height or peak, the velocity is 0 so
vf is 0
therefore,</span></span>
vi =sqrt(-2gd) <span>
vi =sqrt(-2x-9.81x1.5) </span>
<span>vi =5.4 m/s
<span>c) The energy was converted to heat due to friction with the
air and the ground.</span></span>
