Meteor Infrasound A meteor that explodes in the atmosphere creates infrasound waves that can travel multiple times around the globe. One such meteor produced infrasound waves with a wavelength of 6.5 km that propagated 8830 km in 8.47 h. What was the frequency of these waves?

0.04455 Hz

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Wavelength, λ = 6.5km = 6500m

Distance travelled by the wave, x = 8830km = 8830000m

Time taken, t = 8.47hours = 8.47 * 3600 = 30492 secs

First, we find the speed of the wave:

Speed, v = distance/time = x/t

v = 8830000/30492 = 289.58 m/s

Frequency, f, is given as velocity divided by wavelength:

f = v/λ

f = 289.58/6500

f = 0.04455 Hz

b would be the answer

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.
