Answer:
Glow
Explanation:
Actually, it is the air in front of the meteoroid that heats up. The particle is traveling at speeds between 20 and 30 kilometers per second. It compresses the air in front, causing the air to get hot. The air is so hot it begins to glow — creating a meteor - the streak of light observed from Earth.

Answer:
0.686 g of ice melts each second.
Solution:
As per the question:
Cross-sectional Area of the Copper Rod, A =
Length of the rod, L = 19.6 cm = 0.196 m
Thermal conductivity of Copper, K =
Conduction of heat from the rod per second is given by:
where
= temperature difference between the two ends of the rod.
Thus
Now,
To calculate the mass, M of the ice melted per sec:
where
= Latent heat of fusion of water = 333 kJ/kg
Answer:
Question 1)
a) The speed of the drums is increased from 2 ft/s to 4 ft/s in 4 s. From the below kinematic equations the acceleration of the drums can be determined.
This is the linear acceleration of the drums. Since the tape does not slip on the drums, by the rule of rolling without slipping,
where α is the angular acceleration.
In order to continue this question, the radius of the drums should be given.
Let us denote the radius of the drums as R, the angular acceleration of drum B is
α = 0.5/R.
b) The distance travelled by the drums can be found by the following kinematics formula:
One revolution is equal to the circumference of the drum. So, total number of revolutions is
Question 2)
a) In a rocket propulsion question, the acceleration of the rocket can be found by the following formula:
b)
