What has the author Harry E Nelson written?
Harry E. Nelson has written: 'The resistance of the air to stone-dropping meteors' -- subject(s): Meteors 'In the Astronomy Tradition at Augustana (AHS Publication)'
Does it make a 4.8 derby car good with air resistance?
No. Because air resistance includes with friction even if I is that heavy.
Do meteors rotate?
Yes, meteors can rotate as they travel through the Earth's atmosphere. This rotation can be caused by irregularities in the meteor's shape or by external forces acting upon it, such as air resistance. The rotation can affect the meteor's trajectory and how it breaks up or disintegrates.
How meteors occur?
Small particles of rock or dust slam into a planet's atmosphere. Friction against the atmosphere creates immense heat which causes air hit by the meteoroid to glow. Soon after, the meteor disintegrates or lands.
How can I save glow sticks to make them last longer?
To make glow sticks last longer, store them in the freezer before using them and then seal them in an airtight container after use to prevent air exposure. This can help preserve the chemicals inside the glow sticks and extend their glow time.
What is the moon lacking that would protect it from meteors?
Unlike the Earth, the moon does not have an atmosphere to help protect it from meteors. When meteors enter the Earth's atmosphere, the resistance of the air causes friction and generates a tremendous amount of heat - so much so that most meteors are destroyed before they reach the ground. The moon does not have an atmosphere and therefore there is nothing stopping meteorites from bombarding the surface. Hence, the large number of impact craters on the moon.
Which layer of the atmosphere burns up meteroids?
Meteors burn up in the mesosphere as they encounter resistance from air molecules at high speeds, resulting in friction and heat that vaporize the meteoroid.
What is the relationship between air resistance and movement?
Air resistance is a force that opposes the motion of an object moving through the air. It increases with speed and surface area, causing objects to slow down. Higher air resistance can make it more difficult for an object to move through the air efficiently.
How does air resistance affect way objects move?
well air resistance can make objects with a-lot of surface fall more slowly
What sphere do you see meteors?
Meteors generally burn up in the Mesosphere, but depending on the velocity and size of the meteor, they can burn up at almost any level of the atmosphere. We can see meteors because they emit light when they enter the atmosphere as the heated air around them glows from the heat. The reason they get hot and the meteor generally burns up is that when the extremely fast meteor hits the atmosphere, it compresses the air it hits and thus causes the temperature of the air to rise until the air glows from the heat. Also, the incredible friction as the meteor rubs against the atmosphere contributes to its glow and its burning up.
What is the resistance that heats meteoroids called?
Air resistance, which is a type of friction.That would be wind resistance. Meteoroids are space rocks currently falling through the atmosphere (meteors are in space and meteorites have already landed), so the air they rub up against would cause friction and heat.
Do metors rotate?
Yes, meteors can rotate as they travel through Earth's atmosphere due to the forces acting on them during their descent. This rotation can be caused by factors such as air resistance and the irregular shape of the meteor.
