Answer:

The main difference between asteroids and comets is their composition, as in, what they are made of. Asteroids are made up of metals and rocky material, while comets are made up of ice, dust and rocky material. Both asteroids and comets were formed early in the history of the solar system about 4.5 billion years ago.Explanation:

At what distance x from the center of the coil, on the axis of the coil, is the magnetic field half its value at the center?
Mrac [35]

Answer:

The value of x is 2.1 cm from the center of the coil.

Explanation:

Radius, R = 2.7 cm

Number of turns, N = 800

The magnetic field at the axis is half of the magnetic field at the center.

B_{axis}=\frac{B_{center}}{2}\\\\\frac{\mu o}{4\pi}\times \frac{2 \pi I N R^2}{\left (R^2 + x^2  \right )^{\frac{3}{2}}} = 0.5\frac{\mu o}{4\pi}\times\frac{2\pi N I}{R}\\\\\frac{R^2}{(R^2 + x^2)^\frac{3}{2}} = \frac{1}{2R}\\\\4R^6 = (R^2+x^2)^3\\\\1.6 R^2 = R^2 + x^2\\\\x^2 = 0.6 \times 2.7\times 2.7 \\\\x = 2.1 cm

A robot starts from a certain point and moves east for a distance of 5.0 meters, then goes north for 3.0 meters, and then turns
pashok25 [27]

Explanation:

It is given that, a robot starts from a certain point and moves east for a distance of 5.0 meters, then goes north for 3.0 meters, and then turns west for 2.0 meters.

Let east is +x, west is -x north is +y.

When it moves east for a distance of 5.0 meters, it means (5,0)

When it goes north for 3.0 meters, and then turns west for 2.0 meters, it means (0,3) +(-2,0)

(a) x-y coordinates for the resultant vector is (3,3)

(b) The magnitude of the resultant vector for the robot is given by :

R=\sqrt{3^2+3^2} \\\\R=4.24\ m

Your companion on a train ride through Illinois notices that telephone poles near the tracks appear to be passing by very quickl
Nikitich [7]

Answer: Relative motion

Explanation: If two objects are moving either towards or away from each other with both having their velocities in a reference frame and someone is outside this reference frame seeing the motion of the two objects.

The observer ( in his own frame of reference) will measure a different velocity as opposed to the velocities of the two object in their own reference frame. p

Both the velocity measured by the observer in his own reference frame and the velocity of both object in their reference is correct.

Velocities of this nature that have varying values based on motion referenced to another body is known as relative velocity.

Motion of this nature is known as relative motion.

<em>Note that the word reference frame is simply any where the motion is occurring and the specified laws of motion is valid</em>

<em />

For this example of ours, the reference frame of the companion is the train and the telephone poles has their reference frame as the earth.

The companion will measure the velocity of the telephone poles relative to him and the velocity of the telephone pole relative to an observer outside the train will be of a different value.

How much heat is needed to melt 13.74 kg of silver that is initially at 20°C?
salantis [7]

Answer:

Q = 4.63 \times 10^6 J

Explanation:

As we know that melting point of silver is

T = 961.8 degree C

Latent heat of fusion of silver is given as

L = 111 kJ/kg

specific heat capacity of silver is given as

s = 240 J/kg C

now we will have

Q = ms\Delta T + mL

\Delta T = 961.8 - 20

\Delta T = 941.8 degree C

now from above equation

Q = (13.74)(240)(941.8) + (13.74)(111 \times 10^3)

Q = 3.1 \times 10^6 + 1.53 \times 10^6

Q = 4.63 \times 10^6 J
