Answer:
The total amount of energy that would have been released if the asteroid hit earth = The kinetic energy of the asteroid = 1.29 × 10¹⁵ J = 1.29 PetaJoules = 1.29 PJ
1 PJ = 10¹⁵ J
Explanation:
Kinetic energy = mv²/2
velocity of the asteroid is given as 7.8 km/s = 7800 m/s
To obtain the mass, we get it from the specific gravity and diameter information given.
Density = specific gravity × 1000 = 3 × 1000 = 3000 kg/m³
But density = mass/volume
So, mass = density × volume.
Taking the informed assumption that the asteroid is a sphere,
Volume = 4πr³/3
Diameter = 30 m, r = D/2 = 15 m
Volume = 4π(15)³/3 = 14137.2 m³
Mass of the asteroid = density × volume = 3000 × 14137.2 = 42411501 kg = 4.24 × 10⁷ kg
Kinetic energy of the asteroid = mv²/2 = (4.24 × 10⁷)(7800²)/2 = 1.29 × 10¹⁵ J
Velocity. Since velocity consists of a speed and a direction, acceleration is a change in speed, or direction, or both.
as it is given that
now we will have
now the magnitude of this vector is given as
now to find the direction we can use
Answer:
Explanation:
The speed of sound in air to be 343 m/s.
Given:
distance 'd' = 5 m
L = 12 m
It can be concluded that path difference must be equal to half of the wavelength when person is observing destructive interference'y' at 1 m distance from the equidistant position
Since
λ/2 = yd/L
λ/2 = (1 x 5)/12
λ = 0.833m
Frequency of the sound is given by,
f = v / λ => 343 / 0.833
f=411.6 Hz
