(a)
Answer to Problem 62P
The shock wave angle is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Speed of meteorite
Temperature
Formula used:
Shock wave is defined as, it is the strong pressure wave in an elastic medium like air, water or any solid and it is produced by supersonic speeds of an object.
Mathematically the shock wave is defined as:
Where,
Calculation:
Substitute the values in the equation,
Conclusion:
The shock wave angle is
(b)
To calculate:The shock wave angle.
(b)
Answer to Problem 62P
The shock wave angle
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Speed of meteorite
Temperature
Formula used:
The sine of the angle is equal to the ratio of velocity of sound to the velocity of an object is known as shock wave angle.
Mathematically,
Calculation:
Substitute the values in the equation,
Conclusion:
The shock wave angle, that produces in the water just after entering the ocean is
