- On February 15, 2013, a superbolide meteor (brighter than the Sun) entered Earth’s atmosphere over Chelyabinsk, Russia, and exploded at an altitude of 23.5 km. Eyewitnesses could feel the intense heat from the fireball, and the blast wave from the explosion blew out windows in buildings. The blast wave took approximately 2 minutes 30 seconds to reach ground level. (a) What was the average velocity of the blast wave? b) Compare this with the speed of sound, which is 343 m/s at sea level.arrow_forwardWork this problem out on paper and scan it or take a photo of it and upload the scanned image/photo here in either pdf, docx, png, or jpg format.A rocket accelerates from rest at a rate of 70 m/s^2.(a) what is the rocket's speed after it accelerates for 30 seconds?(b) how long does it take for the rocket to reach a speed of 7,250 m/s?arrow_forwardI need help with Part A,B,C, and D I asked my professor for help and he told me I got the wrong answer and I don't know what I am doing wrong because I keep getting the same answer, can you help me and can you label which one is A,B,C and D thank youarrow_forward
