Which of the following is created when the ice of a comet starts to melt into gases?

1 answer:

6 0

The correct answer would be the last option. It is a plasma tail that is created when the ice of a comet start to melt into gases. As the comet is near to the sun, it melts containing dust, rock and ice that are in the gas phase. They are being ionized by the photons from the sun.

Describe the initial horizontal and vertical velocity of a horizontally launched projectile on Earth, as well as what happens to

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

To explain this, let's consider a tennis ball being launched from the top of a very high building.

Now, if the tennis ball is launched horizontally without any upward angle but with an initial velocity of 10 m/s. In this motion, If there is no gravity, the tennis ball would continue in motion at that same speed of 10 m/s in the horizontal direction. However, in reality, gravity causes the tennis ball to accelerate downwards at a rate of 9.8 m/s for every second. This implies that the vertical velocity component is changing at the rate of 9.8 m/s every second.

Thus, after 1 second, horizontal velocity component will remain 10 m/s and vertical component will be 9.8 m/s × 1 = 9.8 m/s downwards.

Also, after 2 seconds, the vertical velocity component will remain 10 m/s, however the vertical component will now be 9.8 × 2 = 19.6 m/s downwards.

Same procedure is repeated as t increases by 1 second.

3. A 2kg wooden block whose initial speed is 3 m/s slides on a smooth floor for 2 meters before it comes to a

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Calculating Coefficient of friction is 0.229.

Force is 4.5 N that keep the block moving at a constant speed.

Explanation:

We know that speed expression is as $\mathrm{V}^{2}=\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{i}}^{2}+2 . \mathrm{a} . \Delta \mathrm{s}$ .

Where, ${V}_{i}$ is initial speed, V is final speed, ∆s displacement and a acceleration.

Given that,

${V}_{i}$ =3 m/s, V = 0 m/s, and ∆s = 2 m

Substitute the values in the above formula,

$0=3^{2}-2 \times 2 \times a$

0 = 9 - 4a

4a = 9

$a=2.25 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

$a=2.25 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ is the acceleration.

Calculating Coefficient of friction:

$\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{m} \times \mathrm{a}$

$\mathrm{F}=\mu \times \mathrm{m} \times \mathrm{g}$

Compare the above equation

$\mu \times m \times g=m \times a$

Cancel "m" common term in both L.H.S and R.H.S

$\text { Equation becomes, } \mu \times g=a$

$\text { Coefficient of friction } \mu=\frac{a}{g}$

$\mathrm{g} \text { on earth surface }=9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

$\mu=\frac{2.25}{9.8}$

$\mu=0.229$

Hence coefficient of friction is 0.229.

calculating force:

$\text { We know that } \mathrm{F}=\mathrm{m} \times \mathrm{a}$

$\mathrm{F}=2 \times 2.25 \quad(\mathrm{m}=2 \mathrm{kg} \text { given })$

F = 4.5 N

Therefore, the force would be <u>4.5 N</u> to keep the block moving at a constant speed across the floor.

In the parallel spring system, the springs are positioned so that the 37 N weight stretches each spring equally. The spring cons

Reptile [31]

Answer:

x = 5.29 m

Explanation:

given,

weight of stretch = 37 N

left-hand spring constant (k₁)= 2.7 N/cm

right hand spring constant(k₂)= 4.3 N/ cm

spring are connected in parallel

F = F₁ + F₂

F = k₁x + k₂x

F = (k₁+ k₂)x

37= (4.3+ 2.7)x

7 x = 37

x = 5.29 m

A bird is about 6.26.2 in. long, with a thin, dark bill and a wide, white wing stripe. If the bird can fly 9292 mi with the w

Trava [24]

Answer:

$209$ mph

Explanation:

$V$ = Speed of bird in still air

$v$ = Speed of wind = 44 mph

Consider the motion of the bird with the wind

$D_{1}$ = distance traveled with the wind = 9292 mi

$t_{1}$ = time taken to travel the distance with wind

Time taken to travel the distance with wind is given as

$t_{1} = \frac{D_{1}}{V + v}$

$t_{1} = \frac{9292}{V + 44}$ eq-1

Consider the motion of the bird with the wind

$D_{2}$ = distance traveled against the wind = 6060 mi

$t_{2}$ = time taken to travel the distance against wind

Time taken to travel the distance against wind is given as

$t_{2} = \frac{D_{2}}{V + v}$

$t_{2} = \frac{6060}{V - 44}$ eq-2

As per the question,

Time taken with the wind = Time taken against the wind

$t_{1} = t_{2}$

$\frac{9292}{V + 44} = \frac{6060}{V - 44}$

$(9292) (V - 44) = (6060) (V + 44)$

$9292V - 408848 = 6060V + 266640$

$3232V = 675488$

$V = 209$ mph
