A comet is the loose, icy body with a long, narrow orbit.
Comets are very small solar system body made mainly of ices mixed with smaller amounts of dust and rock. Most comets are not larger than a few kilometers across. The main body of the comet is called the nucleus, and it can contain water, methane, nitrogen and other ices. Their speeds vary depending on their orbits and where they are in it. The closer they are to the sun, the faster they are going.
Speed = distance / time.
Speed of him leaving the nest:
S = 100 / 20sec
5 m/s.
Catching the snake:
S2 = 50 / 5sec
10 m/s.
Average of 5& 10 = 7.5
7.5 m/s has to be the answer.
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
A diver works in the sea on a day when the atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. The diver uses compressed air to breathe under water. 1700 litres of air from the atmosphere is compressed into a 12-litre gas cylinder. The compressed air quickly cools to its original temperature. Calculate the pressure of the air in the cylinder.
Solution:
Boyles law states that the volume of a given gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted by the gas, provided that the temperature is constant.
That is:
P ∝ 1/V; PV = constant
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
Given that P₁ = initial pressure = 101 kPa, V₁ = initial volume = 1700 L, P₂ = cylinder pressure, V₂ = cylinder volume = 12 L. Hence:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
100 kPa * 1700 L = P₂ * 12 L
P₂ = (100 kPa * 1700 L) / 12 L
P₂ = 14308 kPa
The answer is (a).
Golf balls have a higher density than water hence sink to the bottom.
Heat
You can usually warm something by adding energy. The added energy can be from light, electricity, friction, a chemical reaction, nuclear reaction, or any other kind of energy. When first added to a substance, energy might be concentrated in one atom, but this one will soon bump into others and spread the energy. Eventually, every atom or molecule in the substance will move a bit faster. When the added energy is spread throughout a substance, it is then called heat energy, thermal energy, or, simply heat. All three terms mean the same thing. Heat is a form of energy, so it has the units of energy. In the SI system, this is Joules. Many other units to measure thermal energy are in common use. Calories and BTU's are common heat units.
Temperature
You cannot measure heat directly, but you can detect its effect on a substance. Changes in heat can usually be detected as changes in temperature. Usually, when you add energy to a bunch of atoms they move faster and get hotter. Similarly, if you remove energy from a bunch of atoms, they usually move less and get cooler.
