True or false The Oort cloud is a large collection of comets that surrounds the solar system.

1 answer:

6 0

So we want to know if it is true or false that The Oort clout is a large collection of comets that surrounds the Solar system. The Oort cloud is roughly a spherical shell that surrounds the Solar system and it mostly consists of icy objects and it is the source of the most of the long term comets that have been observed. So the answer is TRUE.

When making maps of the large-scale universe, astronomers estimate distances to the vast majority of galaxies by using:

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The comoving distance and the proper distance scale

Explanation:

The comoving distance scale removes the effects of the expansion of the universe, which leaves us with a distance that does not change in time due to the expansion of space (since space is constantly expanding). The comoving distance and proper distance are defined to be equal at the present time; therefore, the ratio of proper distance to comoving distance now is 1. The scale factor is sometimes not equal to 1. The distance between masses in the universe may change due to other, local factors like the motion of a galaxy within a cluster. Finally, we note that the expansion of the Universe results in the proper distance changing, but the comoving distance is unchanged by an expanding universe.

Two 25.0N weights are suspended at opposite ends of a rope that passes over a frictionless pulley. What is the tension in the ro

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

tension in rope = 25.0 N

Explanation:

Two forces act on the suspended weight. The force coming down is the gravitational force and the upward force by the tension in the rope.

Since the suspended weight is not accelerating so that the net force will be zero. Therefore the tension in the rope should be 25 N.

∑F = F - W = 0

F = W

so tension in rope = F = T = 25 N

Which of the following are true about centripetal force? Check all that apply. A. Without centripetal force, an object cannot ac

Katyanochek1 [597]

B. Friction can be a centripetal force, such as when it keeps a car on the road going around a curve.

C. Gravity can be a centripetal force, such as when it pulls a satellite in its orbit.

Explanation:

The centripetal force is any force that keeps an object moving in circular motion, "pulling" the object towards the centre of the circular trajectory.

Several forces can act as centripetal force. Examples are:

- friction: when a car is going around the curve, is moving by circular motion. The force that keeps the car in circular motion is, in fact, the friction between the tires and the road.

- Gravity: when a satellite moves around the Earth, it is moving by circular motion. The force that keeps the satellite in circular motion is the gravitational attraction between the Earth and the satellite, that pushes the satellite towards the Earth.

The other two options are not correct because:

A) An object can also accelerate if there is no centripetal force (for example, a car speeding up on a straight road is accelerating, but there is no centripetal force since there is no circular motion

D) Centripetal force is not an outward force, since it pushes the object inwards (towards the centre of the trajectory).
