Ameteoroid is traveling east through the atmosphere at 18. 3 km/s while descending at a rate of 11.5 km/s. what is its speed, in km/s?

The speed of meteoroid is 21.61 km/s in south-east.

Explanation:

Given that,

A meteoroid is traveling through the atmosphere at 18.3 km/s. while descending at a rate of 11.5 km/s it means 11.5 km/s in south.

We need to draw a diagram

Using Pythagorean theorem

Hence, The speed of meteoroid is 21.61 km/s in south-east.

molecules are free to separate from each other and will take on the shape of the container. molecules move completely at random and high speeds. they vibrate in a fixed position and do not move around much. molecules expand to the edge of their container.
