Answer: a comet

Explanation:  

A comet is composed of rock, ice dust and frozen gases. Comets generally reside in the outskirts of the solar system i.e. Kuiper belt and Oort cloud.

When comets enter the solar system, the frozen gases sublimate and form the atmosphere of the comet. It is known as coma. As the comet nears the Sun, the coma expands as more frozen gases sublimate and extends backwards due to solar wind. A huge tail composed of gases and dust is formed and can be observed through telescope from Earth. This must be observed by Mischka.

Answer:

Electric field at a distance of 1.45 cm will be 172.41\times 10^4N/C

Explanation:

We have given the distance d = 1.45 cm = 0.0145 m

And the potential difference V=2.5\times 10^4volt

There is a relation between potential difference and electric field

Electric field at a distance d due to a potential difference is given by

E=\frac{V}{d}, here E is electric field, V is potential difference and d is distance

So E=\frac{V}{d}=\frac{2.5\times 10^4}{0.0145}=172.41\times 10^4N/C

The law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of interacting objects does not _______. This means the total
Nata [24]

Explanation:

Law of conservation of momentum states that in an isolated system when two objects collide with each other then total momentum before and after the collision is equal.

Thus, we can conclude that the law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of interacting objects does not change. This means the total momentum before a collision or explosion is equal to the to momentum after a collision or explosion.

____ is the thermal energy transfer that occurs from the motion of fluid in a liquid or gas.
Marysya12 [62]
The answer is C. Convection.

Radiation is the transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves. Conduction, on the other hand, is energy transfer through solid material. Condensation occurs when warm gas makes contact with a cold surface or environment, which causes a change in state from gas to liquid. These definitions rule out choices A, B, and D. 

Convection is movement of particles in fluid or gas. As liquid/gas heats up, it becomes less dense and rises, moving away from the heat source. When it rises, it eventually cools down and sinks again. It is warmed up again and the cycle continues. This is why there is a circular motion when convection occurs.

A python can detect thermal radiation from objects that differ in temperature from their environment as long as the received int
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

10.52 m

Explanation:

The power radiated by a body is given by

P = σεAT⁴ where ε = emissivity = 0.97, T = temperature = 30 C + 273 = 303 K, A = surface area of human body = 1.8 m², σ = 5.67 × 10⁻⁴ W/m²K⁴

P = σεAT⁴ = 5.67 × 10⁻⁸ W/m²K⁴ ×  0.97 × 1.8 m² × (303)⁴ = 834.45 W

This is the power radiated by the human body.

The intensity I = P/A where A = 4πr² where r = distance from human body.

I = P/4πr²

r = (√P/πI)/2

If the python is able to detect an intensity of 0.60 W/m², with a power of 834.45 W emitted by the human body, the maximum distance r, is thus

r = (√P/πI)/2 = (√834.45/0.60π)/2 = 21.04/2 = 10.52 m

So, the maximum distance at which a python could detect your presence is 10.52 m.

1. What are the two quantities involved when calculating MOMENTUM?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Mass and Velocity

Explanation:

Momentum = Mass  X Velocity

or p=m' x v

since in physics p is quantity momentum and m stands for mass and v stands for velocity.

Hope this helps :)
