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.

An electric filament lamp is connected to a power supply and switched on.
ladessa [460]
This is because of of the heating effect of a current. The glow is a result of current passing through the filament. The current experiences resistance as a result heat is generated. When resistance is at zero, there potential differences is not needed hence temperature generated will be at a constant.

The average velocity of an object over 6.0 seconds interval is 2 m/s what is the total distance traveled and M by the object doi
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 12 m</h2>

Explanation:

The distance covered by an object given it's velocity and time taken can be found by using the formula

distance = velocity × time

From the question we have

distance = 2 × 6

We have the final answer as

<h3>12 m</h3>

Hope this helps you

A(n) 131 g ball is dropped from a height
larisa [96]

Answer:

26.59 N/m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 131 g

Extention (e) = 4.82755 cm

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Spring constant (K) =?

Next, we shall convert 131 g to Kg. This can be obtained as follow:

1000 g = 1 Kg

Therefore,

131 g = 131 g × 1 Kg / 1000 g

131 g = 0.131 Kg

Thus, 131 g is equivalent to 0.131 Kg.

Next, we shall the force exerted by the ball on the spring. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.131 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Force (F) =?

F = ma

F = 0.131 × 9.8

F = 1.2838 N

Next, we shall convert 4.82755 cm to metre (m)

This can be obtained as follow:

100 cm = 1 m

Therefore,

4.82755 cm = 4.82755 cm × 1 m / 100 cm

4.82755 cm = 0.0482755 m

Thus, 4.82755 cm is equivalent to 0.0482755 m

Finally, we shall determine the spring constant as follow:

Force (F) = 1.2838 N

Extention (e) = 0.0482755 m

Spring constant (K) =?

F = Ke

1.2838 = K × 0.0482755

Divide both side by 0.0482755

K = 1.2838 / 0.0482755

K = 26.59 N/m

Thus the spring constant is 26.59 N/m

Concept map for kinetic energy, work and power
Helen [10]

Kinetic energy: the energy of motion

Work: the change in kinetic energy

Power: the rate of work done

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion. Mathematically, it is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

The work done an object is the amount of energy transferred; according to the energy-work theorem, it is equal to the change in kinetic energy of an object:

W=K_f - K_i

where

K_f is the  final kinetic energy

K_i is the initial kinetic energy

Finally, the power is the rate of work done per unit time. Mathematically, ti can be expressed as

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W is the work done

t is the time elapsed
