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.

The particles in a liquid are extremely fast, not faster than a gas, but faster than a solid. The way the particles move allow you to get volume but not area for it doesn't have a defiant shape

The traffic on the freeway is moving at a constant speed of 24 m/sm/s. What distance does the traffic travel while the car is mo

ExtremeBDS [4]

Incomplete question as there is so much information is missing.The complete question is here

A car sits on an entrance ramp to a freeway, waiting for a break in the traffic. Then the driver accelerates with constant acceleration along the ramp and onto the freeway. The car starts from rest, moves in a straight line, and has a speed of 24 m/s (54 mi/h) when it reaches the end of the 120-m-long ramp. The traffic on the freeway is moving at a constant speed of 24 m/s. What distance does the traffic travel while the car is moving the length of the ramp?

Answer:

Distance traveled=240 m

Explanation:

Given data

Initial velocity of car v₀=0 m/s

Final velocity of car vf=24 m/s

Distance traveled by car S=120 m

To find

Distance does the traffic travel

Solution

To find the distance first we need to find time, for time first we need acceleration

$(V_{f})^{2}=(V_{o})^{2}+2aS\\ So\\a=\frac{(V_{f})^{2}-(V_{o})^{2} }{2S}\\ a=\frac{(24m/s)^{2}-(0m/s)^{2} }{2(120)}\\a=2.4 m/s^{2}$

As we find acceleration.Now we need to find time

$V_{f}=V_{i}+at\\t=\frac{V_{f}-V_{i}}{a}\\t=\frac{(24m/s)-(0m/s)}{(2.4m/s^{2} )}\\t=10s$

Now for distance

$Distance=velocity*time\\Distance=(24m/s)*(10s)\\Distance=240m$

Just as a skydiver steps out of the helicopter with no forward velocity someone who’s watching start stopwatch so the time is ze

Kobotan [32]

Answer: zero.

Justification:

The downward velocity of the sky diver just before starting to fall is zero, assuming that the helicopter is not moving but just hovering.

Before starting to fall, the velocity of the skydiver is the same of the helicopter, which is zero. It is only, once she jumps out of the helicopter that her weight is not supported by the helicopter and so the gravitational force of the Earth attracts the skydiver and she starts to gain velocity at a rate equal to g (around 9.81 m/s²).

UNO [17]

Answer:

294.524 m^3

Explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula ...

V = πr^2h

For a radius of 2.5 m and a length of 15 m, the volume is ...

V = π(2.5 m)^2(15 m) = 93.75π m^3 ≈ 294.524 m^3

The volume is about 294.52 cubic meters.
