A meteor is the flash of light that we see in the night sky when a small chunk of interplanetary debris burns up as it passes through our atmosphere. "Meteor" refers to the flash of light caused by the debris, not the debris itself.
If any part of a meteoroid survives the fall through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite.
Answer:
The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time. Velocity is equivalent to a specification of an object's speed and direction of motion (e.g. 60 km/h to the north).
Explanation:
Answer:
Explanation:
By analyzing the torque on the wheel we get:
Solving for T: 
On the object:
Replacing our previous value for T:
The relation between angular and linear acceleration is:
So,
Solving for α:
The linear acceleration will be:
And finally, the tension will be:
These are the values of all the variables: α, a, T
Answer: 10 m/s^2
Explanation:
1) The second law of Newton gives the definition and formula to calculate the net force:
Net force acting on an object = mass * acceleration.
2) From that, when you know the net force acting of the object and its mass, you can solve for the acceleration:
acceleration = Net force / mass
acceleration = 50 N / 5 kg = 10 m/s^2, which is the answer.
