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.

The gas in a balloon has T=280 K and V=0.0279 m^3. if the temperature increases to 320 K at constant pressure, what is the new v
victus00 [196]

Answer:

0.0319 m³

Explanation:

Use ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

where P is pressure, V is volume, n is amount of gas, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature.

Since P, n, and R are held constant:

n₁ R / P₁ = n₂ R₂ / P₂

Which means:

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂

Plugging in:

0.0279 m³ / 280 K = V / 320 K

V = 0.0319 m³

How does radioactive decay work
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of an atomic nucleus resulting in the release of energy and matter from the nucleus. Remember that a radioisotope has unstable nuclei that does not have enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together.

The speed of a 500 g cricket ball changes from 10m/s to 30m/s in just 7 seconds. What is the force acting on the cart?
9966 [12]

The force acting on the cart is 1.43 N.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force can be defined as the product of mass and acceleration.

To calculate the force acting on the cart, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • F = m(v-u)/t................. Equation 1

Where:

  • F = Force acting on the cart
  • m = mass of the cart
  • v = Final velocity
  • u = initial velocity
  • t = time

From the question,

Given:

  • m = 500 g = 0.5 kg
  • v = 30 m/s
  • u = 10 m/s
  • t = 7 seconds

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • F = 0.5(30-10)/7
  • F = 10/7
  • F = 1.43 N.

Hence, the force acting on the cart is 1.43 N.

A proton moves through a magnetic field at 20.3 % of the speed of light. At a location where the field has a magnitude of 0.0062
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Force on the proton will be .73\times 10^{-14}N

Explanation:

We have given speed of proton is 20.3% of speed of light

Speed of light c=3\times 10^8m/sec

So speed of proton v=\frac{3\times 10^8\times 23}{100}=6.9\times 10^7m/sec

Magnetic field B = 0.00629 T

Charge on proton q=1.6\times 10^{-16}C

Angle between velocity and magnetic field \Theta =137^{\circ}

Force on the proton is equal to F=qvBsin\Theta =1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 6.9\times 10^7\times 0.00629\times sin(137^{\circ})=4.73\times 10^{-14}N

Beginning 145 miles directly south of the city of Hartville, a car travels due west. If the car is travelling at a speed of 42 m
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The rate of change of the distance is 14.89.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 145 miles

Speed of car = 42 miles/hr

Distance covered by car = 55 miles

We need to calculate the the rate of change of the distance

According to figure,

Let OA is x, and AB is y.

Now, using Pythagorean theorem

x^2=y^2+145^2

On differentiating

2x\dfrac{dx}{dt}=2y\dfrac{dy}{dt}

\dfrac{dx}{dt}=\dfrac{y}{x}\dfrac{dy}{dt}

\dfrac{dx}{dt}=\dfrac{55\times42}{\sqrt{55^2+145^2}}

\dfrac{dx}{dt}=14.89\ miles/hr

Hence, The rate of change of the distance is 14.89.
